Thanksgiving 2010

Ah, the smell of turkey roasting in the oven, sweet potatoes cooking, stuffing baking, pies done and ready for dessert...It may take days to make, but it is always a special time to celebrate with family. I made Thanksgiving for my parents and in-laws. I really enjoyed that time together.

We always made the turkey in oven bags and it was sooooo nice and browned. Stuffing was made by mom from her mom's recipe and it is one of my very favorite. I can't find a recipe, but I did try this one .... it almost tastes like gram and mom's....

1 stick margarine

4 cups of dried bread cubed

1 diced onion

1 chopped stalk celery

1 tsp. each of the following: marjoram, thyme, sage, poultry seasoning

1/2 tsp. pepper

salt to taste

chicken broth/stock

In a skillet, melt the margarine and add the onion and celery and saute...don't brown it, til soft and translucent. In a large bowl add the bread cubes, mix in the onion and celery, seasoning and start adding stock/broth to moisten and mix. When bread cubes become sticky, stop adding stock. Put into a buttered casserole dish and back covered 1 hour. Take off lid and cook another 15 mins...Enjoy! Happy Thanksgiving to all!
