Fall is my favorite season. I love fall scents, colors and harvesting time. I enjoy the thought of making Thanksgiving plans. In the past when my children were young and all at home we really enjoyed the spirit of Thanksgiving in our home. Family, friends and many blessing to be thankful for. Now as my children have grown and some have married and started families of their own I have to look at new ways to create an inviting Thanksgiving meal for a small crowd. One crowd pleaser the whole family enjoys and expects is stuffing. Ever since we discovered Mrs. Cubbison's stuffing mix we have been able to create some very tasty stuffing recipes.
Before I share one of my recipe I want to share a few interesting facts from the "Thanksgiving Across America" Survey.
When asked, What Americans favorite holiday was? Thanksgiving came in second to Christmas. All other holidays fell far behind. On a side note Thanksgiving is the #1 favorite nonreligious holiday. I would think most people are Thankful to God for all their blessing while celebrating Thanksgiving. I understand it is not considered a religious holiday but our religions can be observed through out Thanksgiving.
The next survey question was, "To whom or for what will you be giving thanks this year?" God, family and health were the top answers to this question.

My Stuffing Recipe:
2 packets one each of Classic and Corn Bread stuffing mix by Mrs. Cubbison's
2 cups chicken broth
2 eggs
1 diced sauteed onion
3-4 stalks celery diced (saute w/onion)
2 diced granny smith apples
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven at 400 deg. Fahrenheit. Mix all ingredients in a bowl until moist. You may need to reduce or add more broth to the mix. This will depend how moist you like your stuffing. Bake in a baking dish or stuff as desired. Bake until down and brown on the top. I had some acorn squash and bell peppers I wanted to use so that is what I stuffed. Does that look yummy? It sure was tasty.

ReplyDeleteI wish I had my grandmother's mac and cheese recipe, but it was lost. We don't have a recipe that's been passed down for generations, but my Dad does make a wonderful oyster dressing that I'd like to make myself!
Every year my Granddaughters want me to make Vegetable Casserole as the vegetable at Thanksgiving. Hmmmmmm they also want Chocolate Chip Pie.
ReplyDeleteThe Green Bean and Mushroom Alfredo Casserole sounds really good

Mrs. Cubbison's makes the absolute best packaged stuffing mix ever. I have never had apples and walnuts in ours but I sure want to try your recipe. We have several recipes that have been passed down through the generations. One is my family preference to mashed potatoes. Everyone prefers red potatoes to any others for Thanksgiving. The dressing of course is my favorite dish. My mom makes the best and even though I use her recipe, I've just not mastered it right yet. Sweet potato souffle is another. We like ours really sweet and since I've been trying to eat healthier I've been using a sugar alternative and I add some honey.
ReplyDeleteAll of those recipes look so delicious on Thanksgiving Tips. I want to try them all lol. I am going to try their crispy onion twice baked potatoes sometime between now and then. My DIL makes the best twice baked potatoes and I want to learn to make them as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all you do. I'm very Thankful for your friendship this Thanksgiving.
First of all, Mrs Cubbisons Herb and Cornbread stuffing mix's are my families favorite. We always make a batch of each.
ReplyDeleteWe do the traditional Thanksgiving feast, but we didn't grow up doing cranberry sauce and I don't do it either, so I guess our tradition of NOT doing cranberry sauce is what's been handed down...lol
