I'd say we were pretty good buddies with the state of Minnesota. When I was growing up in Winnipeg there were a lot hockey tournaments in Minnesota and we regularly billeted Minnesota hockey players in Winnipeg. I am grateful that my kids get to enjoy at least some of her cooking through me. And although it pains me that I don't have any of my Baba's recipes, I'm eternally grateful that I have many of my Mom's, Grandma's, Great Grandma's and even one of my Great Great Grandmother's recipes for Date Nut Loaf ! And fortunately, I was able to get several of Grandma Jean's recipes this being one of them. One of the main reasons I started this blog was so that my kids and future generations would have my recipes. 🍲The Difference between a Casserole and a HotDish.
💭What is Chow Mein Hotdish (Minnesota Hotdish)?!.
This recipe is one of my husband's faves and a total comfort food to him. I, on the other hand, did and was fortunate enough to get many of her recipes.
My mother-in-law passed away when my kids were pretty young, so they never really had the pleasure of enjoying her cooking. Being that we're from Winnipeg, which happens to be in the Canadian province of Manitoba, which lies directly above the states of Minnesota and North Dakota, it now makes perfect sense that she'd have a recipe for Minnesota Hotdish in her arsenal. But it makes perfect sense, given where we're from. All these years I had no idea that my mother-in-law's " Chow Mein Casserole" was actually a Chow Mein Hotdish (aka Minnesota Hotdish).
