This is Pat, our gracious hostess for the Christmas Luncheon

Pat was so gracious to cook a giant meal and

this is the second time this year she has done this for us.

We appreciate you Pat for all you do.

Thanks for the Lemon Curd, and Jam and Jellies.

Alcy thanks for the Candy you made for us.

And Joycie made a Christmas Potpourri for all,

this potpourri last several days, just heat it up again.

Pat had her home all decorated so nice.

We are so sorry that Nancy couldn't come to

our Christmas Luncheon.

Thanks Pat, you are the BEST!

Pat’s Great Grandmothers Broccoli/cheese Casserole

6 cups chopped fresh broccoli florets

1 (10 3/4 oz can condense cream of mushroom soup

1 cup mayonnaise

1/2 stick butter…melted

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

1/2 medium onion, finely diced

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper

1&1/2 cups grated extra sharp cheddar cheese

1 full sleeve Ritz Crackers finely crushed.

How to make it

Steam broccoli in a steamer (a little bit less than 5 minutes,

So you don’t end up with mush) over simmering water. Cover and steam.

Broccoli should be in bit size pieces so Great Grandmother said

Preheat oven 350 Degrees. In a large bowl combine it all except for

The 1 cup of cheese and mix. Place ix in a buttered casserole dish. Sprinkle

With cheese and crushed crackers on top. Bake 30 to 40 minutes

Let it stand about 15 minutes before serving. This is really good.

Home grown squash in her own garden.

This is one of my favorites love it.
