Casserole Love




What do you do when a neighbor has a baby or breaks her leg? Well, in the first case, I made blueberry scones and a fruit bowl and in the other, a chicken casserole that my mother used to make on Sundays. Food truly conveys messages of support and comfort unlike anything else in times like these. What's funny is that it is an automatic response for me that seems triggered from deep within my genetic heritage.

In the case of the scones, the blueberries were colorful and fresh and the casserole was provided in a sunny yellow, ruffled baking dish. Check out fantastic cookware at Chef's Resource.

Can you remember a food item that was given to you during a an important life event that gave you that ounce of love that let you know that everything was OK?
