Tasty Tuesday

Thanksgiving comes around every year and I can always expect a call from my niece Leah. (You canfind her blog here.) She thinks that Thanksgiving isn't Thanksgiving unless she has my Broccoli Casserole and Blueberry roll. She never keeps the recipe and she only wants it this one time of year. Which is about the only time I make it also. Just Thanksgiving and Christmas. So here's to you Leah! Enjoy this out in SLC. Look forward to seeing you at Christmas. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!


Blueberry Roll
(this isn't really a roll, I have no idea who named this)
crust: 1 1/2 cups of self rising flour
1 1/2 sticks butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans

Mix all together and press into greased 9x13 pan. bake at 325* for 25 minutes. Let cool. When cooled pour one 20oz can of blueberry pie filling over the crust.

Topping: 1/2 cup milk
1 8oz. bar of cream cheese (room temp)
3/4 cups sugar
1 8oz. container coolwhip

With mixer beat this together and spread over the filling and crust. Refrigerate for at least an hour. Better if you let it set up over night in fridge.
Broccoli Casserole

Broccoli Casserole

4 or 5 pound bag of frozen broccoli cooked and drained real well.

Mix together: 1 cup mayo
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 eggs
1 small onion chopped fine
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon salt

Pour over broccoli and fold lightly until mixed. Pour into deep 9x13 pan. Sprinkle with one cup of cheese. Now top with bread crumbs and drizzle a stick of melted butter over top. Cover tightly with foil and bake 30-40 mins. Remove foil and cook 10 more mins to brown the top lightly.

I'm going to have to quit looking at your blog on Tuesdays...I come away hungry. Do you deliver? I love Brocolli and it looked great.

That looks so good! I'm surprised Leah even writes the recipe down! She's a mess.
Your previous post was so cute! Kacey loves to look at pictures of herself when she was a baby. I have to tell her every little detail of every picture. She will say "what else did I do when I was a baby?" It's really fun to relive those memories. I wish I could go back in time and hold her as a newborn again!
