4 cans artichoke hearts, drained
½ c. dry white wine
¼ c. olive oil
1 c. parmesan cheese
2 c. seasoned bread crumbs
1 t. onion powder
½ t. garlic powder
Cayenne pepper, to taste

Grease casserole dish
Quarter artichoke hearts
Combine everything but bread crumbs
Put in dish and top with bread crumbs
Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees

When I was growing up my grandmother would make this squash casserole.   The recipe came from the lady who was my sister’s babysitter before I came along.   It is one of my favorites now
MRS. FREEMAN’S SQUASH CASSEROLE  (Serves 8-10)

2 cups cooked squash
1 stick butter
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup shredded cheese
1 cup evaporated milk
2 cups cracker crumbs

Mash cooked squash.   Add other ingredients and mix well.   Pour into greased baking dish and bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

(Note:  Reserve enough cheese & crackers for topping.   I use only 1 egg, but egg substitute may be used)

When Making this I would put the olives on the side so those that do not like Olives like me could have the dish without the olives.

 My dad made this for my birthday back in December and it is very delicious.  I found out later that my husband uses the same recipe when he carries breakfast casserole to work.  I also found out that my grandmother used to make this when I was growing up.  My dad actually got it from his boss well over 25 years ago.  It is certainly not low in calories but in my opinion if it was it would not taste as good.
