Tonight, a good majority of my family, bit Bourne and Williamson, will be joining us out the homestead to can peaches. My mom is an expert and has agreed to teach the rest. My contribution will be dinner. On today's menu: a classic recipe from my mom's kitchen pus a new recipe of my own. Chicken Broccoli Casserole and Double ChocolateChunk Brownies. The casserole is pretty simple to make, the hardest part is the arm muscles it takes to open the jars of soup cans by hand. It's also great because it's easy to feed a lot of people, it's a crowd favorite, and making extra for freezer meals is a breeze. I bought a few extra ingredients to make just such a freezer meal for the newly weds, Sarah and Tyson, because it's one of her favorites. The brownie recipe is one I saw on tv and my oldest critic (the chocolate lover) immediately said, "mom, you HAVE to make those.". Seems I didn't have a choice, so today was the day. The casserole also makes for easy clean-up so we can get to those wonderful peaches!
