This casserole is part of the McGowan Thanksgiving feast! No casserole, no feast, it’s as simple as that. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Orange-Scented Bomboloni with Pastry Cream and Chocolate Orange Dipping Sauce
Some restaurants are putting do-nuts and do-nut- holes on their dessert menu’s. We tried this one last night at our November cooking class. It not only tasted good it was a great vehicle to keep dinner conversation going as diners dipped the pastry filled morsels in the rich chocolate cream, in no hurry to conclude…
Crab and Ricotta Manicotti
This is a very special combination. Very rich, wonderful for a luncheon with a green salad and some crunchy bread. The cook will be a hero with this one.
Linguine with Clams
This is one of Jock and Angie’s favorite. We all love clams and this is a top notch way to serve them.
Whole Roasted Lemon Chicken with Vegetables
This recipe calls for roasting two chickens at once. It was perfect for our large family. It is also good if you are taking a meal to someone, you’ve got your family fed too . The recipe also lends itself to being cut in half. The chicken is moist and delicious and the vegetables are…
Peanut Butter Cookies
Another all time favorite. After school, in a lunch box, that ‘little something sweet’ after dinner. These are a standby that is sure to please any cookie lover.
Butter Horn Cookies
This is a Christmas cookie standard. It’s pastry like dough melts in your mouth, it’s powdered sugar coating announcing the great tastes that are to come. It also looks great on a plate with a variety of other holiday treats. You know the holiday’s have arrived when these confections are on your dessert plate.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
This was the most popular recipe in our house when the boys were in school. I would make a double batch almost every other day. It wasn’t just the McGowan boys’ favorite, it was the neighborhood favorite. More than once, a group of smiling faces would come to the door to see “if the boys…
Oatmeal Cookies
The oatmeal cookie rose to popularity in the early 1900’s. It has been one of my favorite’s ever since (he! he!) O.K. so I probably didn’t find out about them until some delicious day after 1941! I love the moist chewy flavor with an occasional sweet raisin surprise. If you are trying to justify eating…
Snickerdoodles
And old standby for sure. Great cookie for kids because they aren’t real messy.
Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
This is Jason’s favorite cookie. So much so that in my 50 year old recipe book I have crossed out the name Chocolate Crinkles and re-named them Jason’s Cookies. I have to say they are probably my favorite too. What can I say, they are CHOCOLATE, and moist and chewy and festive looking with their…
Brownies
This bar cookie became popular in the roaring 20’s. You know it’s good to have lasted that long. It is still popular for picnics, lunch boxes, and of course there is always that decadent dessert, the brownie sundae. This particular recipe produces a wonderful moist, chewy, chocolate treat that will be one of your favorites too.
