Montana’s Most Popular Thanksgiving Side Dish Is…

Growing up in the house of John and Diane, you knew it was a holiday when the yelling started.

My parents were married for over 50 years, and I honestly can't remember a single holiday when there wasn't some issue that involved raised voices. Many families have traditions. Some wear matching clothes, others break the wishbone, some play football, and my parents yelled at each other.

With the Holiday Season just around the corner in Montana, it got me thinking about all of the traditions that come with this time of year.

With Thanksgiving coming up soon, friends and families will gather together to enjoy all that they have and are thankful for. For many, that will include going back home to spend time with their parents and siblings. Oh, and because that can be a stressful time, it should be noted that the night before Thanksgiving is the busiest night for bars for the entire year.

The big draw for Thanksgiving, of course, is the Thanksgiving meal. While most folks have a traditional dinner, it seems that the majority of families have a dish or two that are family favorites. In the Wolf house, it was always Broccoli Cheese Casserole and something called Corn Casserole.

I was never a fan of the corn thing, but the other one was pretty good. I mean, who doesn't love broccoli, rice, and processed cheese from a jar? I mean, that just screams thankful, right?
