Thanksgiving season makes your mouth water for homemade casseroles, cakes, breads and pies.

The United Methodist Women will sell Thanksgiving and other homemade treats during the annual casserole and bank sale from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 19 at First United Methodist Church at 265 W. Thompson Lane near Siegel High School, said spokeswoman Amy Jaramillo.

“We’re selling our famous Poppy Seed Chicken Casseroles, Chicken Pot Pies, Breakfast Casserole and Vegetable Casseroles,” Jaramillo said.

The casseroles are all frozen. Buyers will find frozen fruit salads and other homemade baked goods. Casseroles are available in different sizes that serve two to eight people.
