Jen I have several packages of stuffing mix in my pantry…the result of a sale or clearance at some point…and I wanted to get creative with them! I found a recipe for “Leftover Stuffing Breakfast Casserole” that I modified and made for breakfast today. Really good. Pairs well with some fresh fruit AmyI have a friend who refers to stuffing as dressing. She can't fool me. I've had the displeasure of meeting the ass hat with whom she is currently shacked up. Call it whatever you want it's all the same. With three of us being from south of the Mason-Dixon line I sensed that there's going to be at least one stuffing made with cornbread. So I grabbed a few of my cookbooks to look for inspiration. Whilst thumbing through Nigella Christmas by Nigella Lawson I found a recipe for Bread Sauce. My first thought was that this shouldn't be a thing. But I read on and I was intrigued. I had to give it a shot. No it isn't stuffing but I guarantee that it is worth the effort. It is a traditional dish served at Christmas in England but I think it's perfect in Winter period. If you do a big Sunday dinner that might be the time to add this aromatic sauce. Nigella seems keen to serve it with a roasted bird but I made a meal of it served with ham and an orange salad. But to you I say do your own thing! My Mother's Bread Sauce Nigella Christmas by Nigella Lawson I have to plug this marvelous cookbook though. It's hands down one of the best Winter cookbooks that I own. That was a fun food challenge. Though I bent the rules slightly. NikitaAfter much thought about our eating patterns and behaviors, I figured out that my family does not eat stuffing outside of Thanksgiving dinner; now I'm wondering, "Why not?" I came across a yummy recipe for Thanksgiving Day sandwiches in which you use the leftovers to create a masterpiece of turkey, stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce. I do not have Thanksgiving Day leftovers anymore, so I resorted to making a small version of our turkey day meal just for this sandwich. First mistake, I did not stock up on fresh cranberries when they were in season at the grocery store as suggested by Amy. I meant to buy a few bags and freeze them to eat all year round, but life happened; I forgot. So I resorted to buying the jellied cranberry sauce in a can which I actually do enjoy and get a strange satisfaction plopping it out of the can onto a plate and watching it jiggle. I also found an easy, convenient seasoned turkey breast to roast in the oven for fresh meat. This time, I made the stuffing in a bundt pan to try and configure a gorgeous circle of stuffing, but I also figured it would be easier to slice it and layer on the sandwiches. Even though I sprayed the bundt pan well with Pam, it still stuck in places and I had to rebuild it for my picture. Pay no mind to the backside of my bundt. ;-) HAHA! GeorgiaWith the hubs looking for work at this time he's the one doing most of the cooking. Which I'm grateful for because my job has me busy. We kinda cheated.. Well I did on a couple of levels. Randy made dinner and we decided to go with a stuffed chicken, but not stuffed with bread. With a green onion cream cheese mixture.. AND then wrapped in bacon.t He added herbs de province to it as well.. This was SO tasty and according to him very easy to make. Sounds like a winning combo to me To me.. The best part of what we do is the coming together and how each of us always make the same but not quite the same.
Until next week, Jen, Amy, Nikita and Georgia
