Happy Thanksgiving from Whitley Family Dental! Dr. Whitley plans on celebrating Thanksgiving with family right here in Dallas! Dr. Whitley and his family plan on going out to eat for the traditional meal so his family can enjoy the time together instead of worrying about spending hours with food preparation and clean-up.
Though we might be going out for Thanksgiving dinner, we still want to share one of our favorite recipes for those who plan to cook! Looking for a new side for your dinner? Look no further. This broccoli rice cheese casserole is always a hit with our family. The recipe is below:
What you will need -
- 1 bag of frozen broccoli steamed until desired tenderness
- 1 cup of uncooked rice cooked to directions on the bag
- 1 can of cream of mushroom soup
- 1 jar of Cheez Whiz
- 1 onion cooked in butter until desired tenderness
Directions-
- Mix all ingredients and bake in an ovenproof baking dish at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes. And voila! An easy new side to add to your Thanksgiving dinner.
An important part of the holiday season is taking a step back to recognize what you are truly grateful for. It is a time where we can step back and be thankful for all that we have in our lives. You don't have to worry about decorations and buying gifts. As Dr. Bill and Tamara have aged, they have realized that quality time with family matters more than gifts that no one will remember. It is the memories of time together that will last through time.
Dr. Bill's favorite memory of Thanksgiving was made in 2006. This was the first year that Dr. Bill made a new tradition of taking a vacation with Tamara and their son. Now that their son is in college and no longer has the entire week off from school, The Whitley's will be spending their holiday in Dallas....that is until their son graduates and then they will be like Willie Nelson, "On the Road Again!"
Of course, Whitley Family Dental is always grateful for our AMAZING WFD staff and our INCREDIBLE patients! We hope everyone is having a wonderful start to the holiday season and we can’t wait to see you in our office again soon.
