Dinner’s Ready: Marla Warner’s Hashbrown Casserole

by
Dinner's Ready ESP Sept 23

Friday night lights are back, along with many other back-to-school fall activities. Coach Marla Warner of Fairhope is sharing an easy, cheesy favorite recipe for this month’s Dinner’s Ready feature.

Marla’s schedule is full of preparation, planning, grading and educating seven and eight-year-old Pirates as a second grade teacher at Fairhope West Elementary. After school, her day often continues with practices, workouts and meets, as the High School Track and Field Coach for Fairhope High School.

“I love what I do”. “I am invested in equipping students to be the best they can be in all they aspire to be.

”The full schedule of investing in our next generation doesn’t stop with Marla though. Her husband Avery Warner is the very reason her family relocated to Fairhope about eight years ago. In addition to teaching U.S. History at Fairhope High School, he is a high school football coach.

The Warner’s have four children — son Marien (21) and three daughters, Malari (19), Aubrey (14) and Dallas (7). The family enjoys going to the beach, grilling out, having game nights and, as time allows, they love to eat at local restaurants and attend 3Circle Church.

“My husband and I both enjoy cooking, and because we both teach and coach, we tag team cooking and other household duties,” Marla said. “When we have had a long, busy day and we want something quick, yet satisfying and tasty, breakfast food for dinner is a go-to in the Warner House.

Coach Warner’s Hashbrown Casserole is one of the family’s favorite breakfast additions. The dish can easily be served alongside eggs and bacon or shaken up and served with fried tilapia and some good ole’ cheese grits.
