Ever have a recipe that you make that reminds you of someone or something??
Well there is a story behind this one.... It goes back over 20+ years ago !
My husband and I (boyfriend back then) were invited over to my sisters house for dinner -- My mom shared that she was making some dish called PoppySeed Casserole !!
Seriously - What the Heck was that??
So being the Smart Teenagers that we were , Merv and I went to the nearest McDonalds Drive thru and ate dinner on our way to her house...
Joke was on us !! We both LOVED It !!
Moral of the Story -- Dont judge a book by its cover ! Ya never know unless you TRY IT !!
20 years later I make this dish on a regular basis and the whole family loves it!!
