You, yourself, not your family.

What is the dish that always "made" the holiday meal for you?

It may be a casserole your aunt made, that only she can do, or your mother's homemade bread that only she could do.

As I said in another thread, my step grandmother's turkey was SO incredibly delicious.  I quizzed her from the time I was 16 for about 5 years and put down the repeated spices.  I was able to recreate that signature flavor!

A lot of poultry seasoning, celery seed, marjoram, and a little sage after the butter inside and out!  ALWAYS 325 degrees in a bag.  It's moist when it's cold!

Now, it's everyone else's obscession!

I like this recipe. It is a good thing that I do. My husband and son will only take a tiny spoonful. So I gladly finish the rest.

Spinach And Artichoke Casserole

14 ozs canned artichoke hearts -- drained
30 ozs frozen chopped spinach -- thawed and drained
8 ozs cream cheese
2 tbsps mayonnaise
4 tbsps olive oil
6 tbsps milk
salt and pepper -- to taste
1/3 c grated fresh Parmesan cheese

If frozen artichokes are used, cook according to instructions. Do not overcook.

Drain the artichokes, and place them on bottom of a 3-quart casserole.

Squeeze as much moisture as possible from the spinach, and layer it on top of the arti chokes.

In an electric mixer blend the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and butter or oil until light and fluffy.

Gradually beat in the milk, and spread this mixture over the top of the spinach.

Sprinkle with pepper and the cheese.

Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 40 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned.

You can refrigerate this dish after putting it together and before baking it, but if it is chilled, slightly increase the baking time.
