There is a Women’s Bible Study that I go to every other Saturday; the hosting is rotated among the members. Because there is just the four of us and we all like to cook, even if it only breakfast that consists of eggs, muffin, and fruit, we still manage to make it presentable and appetizing, or NOT.
In this case, we had spinach casserole, we learned about this recipe from a dear friend who passed last year. It consists of eggs, milk, cheese, bread, onions, spinach, mayonnaise, and such other items calling your attention in the kitchen. Like raisins, tomatoes, if you don’t have spinach it can be potatoes, carrots, etc. This recipe does not really call for specifics. The milk will soften the mixture and the bread will provide texture and consistency. Cheese and mayonnaise will add flavor, of course herbs like basil, or if you want a little Mexican blend add cumin or cilantro, parsley will not do damage to the flavor too. This mixture is placed on a baking tray, preferably Pyrex and let stand overnight. Remember that movie Family Stone, that’s what they made. Here’s the more formal recipe, if you wish to try.
The joy is in the presentation too, the milk jar was an irregularly designed pottery, so beautiful. Notice the collection of different designs of spoons, even the mis-matched plates rendered a rustic effect making for a wonderful dining experience.
Although, honestly, we did admonished ourselves for purchases that are not needed but wanted to complement a dish that we are going to prepare.
