Favorite Recipes Friday “Without rice, even the cleverest housewife cannot cook.” “If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people.” ~ Old Chinese Proverbs Mrs. Ruth McCullough, who was a long time educator, brought this casserole to us when one of the kids was born. She kindly shared the recipe, and it has been a family favorite ever since. It is a great dish to carry to a pot luck or share with a friend, as Mrs. Ruth did. I always think of her when I make this! Such a sweet and special lady!
