Broccoli Casserole Recipe
My mama was a schoolteacher for twenty-five years. She even taught me in the third grade! My best friend in elementary school was Julie Perry. Julie’s mom taught the second grade, and Julie had already had her mom as a teacher, so she showed me the ropes. People always ask me if it was weird having my mama for a teacher and I always say yes. I never knew whether to call her “Miss Yearwood” or “Mama”! Julie and I were friends from the first grade all the way through high school graduation. We spent lots of time at each other’s homes, working on school projects or having “spend the night” parties. I ate a lot of meals at Mr. Edwin and “Miss” Julianne’s house. This recipe came from Mrs. Perry.
