M&M Casserole

At my final spring meeting last Monday night, the associational ministry assistant made a plea for those who hadn’t already done so to buy a Pee Dee Association Cookbook.

[Yes. I shared with the good folks in the Pee Dee Association how my brother, sister, and cousin used to torture me when we drove across the Pee Dee, or should I say Dee Pee, River.]

Out of the 800 cookbooks they’d ordered in 2006, there were only 11 left, and as soon as those 11 were sold then members of the association wouldn’t have to hear about them again. The assistant encouraged persons to buy a cookbook even if they didn’t know how to cook—to read it for the associational history printed inside and to use it as a reminder of the saints who have gone before us and still surround us today. She also encouraged persons to buy cookbooks for wedding or graduation gifts—since it is that season after all.

After the meeting was over, I was presented with a cookbook. I thanked the assistant and shared with her how my favorite cookbook is the one from where I grew up. I told her I’d be sure to look through my new one…and I did…and it’s a recipe from that cookbook that I want to share with you today:

M&M Casserole

Ingredients Needed:
• 1 one-pound bag of plain M&Ms
• 1 one-pound bag of peanut M&Ms
• 1 one-pound bag of peanut butter M&Ms
• 1 one-pound bag of almond M&Ms
• 1 one-pound bag of pretzel M&Ms
• 1 one-pound bag of dark chocolate M&Ms
• 1 one-pound bag of any other type of M&Ms

Empty M&Ms into a large bowl. Mix together. Serve.

Now…aren’t you grateful that I was given one of those Pee Dee Association Cookbooks?! [Even if this recipe is not endorsed by the Project Help police :-p.]
