Green Bean Casserole

I think that green bean casserole may be one of my favorite comfort foods. (For the recipe, go to the French's Foods website and search for "green bean casserole.") I don't make it often because I am the only one in my family who will eat it, but I keep the ingredients in my cupboard, and occasionally on cold winter days I will make some for myself.

Today was one of those cold winter days. Not only do I love the way the green bean casserole tastes, I convince myself it is healthy because it contains green beans. And it brings back some fond memories -- like when I was pregnant with Drew and experiencing all day morning sickness and the only thing that sounded good to eat was green bean casserole. My mom was visiting that week, and she made green bean casserole for me for lunch three days in a row. Well, actually, she made it for me for four days ... but the fourth day I took one look at it and knew I wouldn't be able to eat it for the rest of the pregnancy. Now that Drew is a year and a half old, I can look back on those days and smile ... and enjoy my green bean casserole again!
