With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I thought I’d share my favorite dish to make with the leftovers. We traditionally have this either Friday or Saturday after Thanksgiving, but if you’re tired of eating the same food, you can freeze the dressing, and cooked turkey and make later. Don’t try freezing the gravy though… it […]
Continue readingMy daughter loves French toast, but I don’t like the fact that when I make it from scratch, everyone eats while I’m frying up the rest of the toast.

Continue readingI love this dish because it’s so simple and very tasty. If you’re not a big fan of mushrooms, use any “Cream of…” type soup. One year I made this with some cream of broccoli soup and added a little chopped up broccoli to the mix as well and it turned out really good. This […]
Continue readingWe just finished the last of our Thanksgiving Stuffing and I’m already planning on what to make for Christmas this year. Thanksgiving was a traditional “dressing” with cornbread, biscuits, onion and celery. I’m thinking of branching out a bit for Christmas this year and make the following sausage dressing with apples and cranberries. It sounds […]

She no longer remembers the recipe as to how much – just the ingredients. (editor’s note: Does anyone remember a similar recipe? If so, how did you […]
