great, now I'm starving...
Happy Holidays Fellow Freepers!!!
My favorite recipe is to get in the car, drive to my sisters, and eat with my family. I contribute by bringing my wonderful wife, and a good time is had by all. The focus isn't the food, but the fellowship of friends and family. But the food ain't bad.....(hehe).
You bring back good memories, Carlo, especially about the family gatherings.
This thread is a keeper.
Have never had that but it sounds great. Send a few slices over by freepmail? I have had smoked turkey, and that was heaven.
Time to raid the frig.
Bump for latter in hopes that someone has a recipe for cinnamon loaf bread.
Saving for later read and reply.
It's a lot better than losing those all those important holiday calories by exercising as you're mixing stuff. :)
This Cornbread Dressing recipe is from Houston, Texas, just as written down by my family in the late 60's although it goes back many decades before that! (Am so glad they wrote all the family recipes down!).
Cornbread (about 1 layer cake size)
Same amount of bread (white)
1 bunch green onions (cut in about 1 inch pieces)
1/2 white onion, chopped fine
4 tb mazola cooking oil (or any kind)
Salt
Pepper
2 cans Chicken Broth
3 Stalks celery, cut up rather fine
Parsley
6 to 8 hardboiled eggs
Break up the cornbread and white bread
In a skillet, put the oil, celery, green onions, white onion, and let wilt over a low fire. Do not brown, just wilt.
Mix this all with the bread and cornbread mixture.
Cut up parsley, add.
Stir in the chicken broth. This should be fairly mushy.
Fold in the cut up hardboiled eggs.
Add the salt and pepper.
Put in a greased baking pan (should be at least 2 inches thick when in the pan).
Bake in 375 degree oven until slightly browned on top.

To me this recipe IS thanksgiving. This and cans of turkey gravy - nothing else is necessary in my opinion!
Thani you, Carlo the good. I'm going to need all the help I can get to survive this next family Thanksgiving. Please keep those recipes coming!

Never liked walnuts but I will try the blueberry-apple combo, which sounds great!
Have you ever heard of anyone using angel food cake or scarlet cake mix instead? Seems like it would work but I'd hate to waste the mix experimenting too much.
Well we could always turn it into one of those dreaded what state has the BEST BBQ threads...
Thanks Carlo
and don't forget the Deep Fried Turkey!!!!!
I haven't heard of anyone doing that but have thought of trying a different cake mix. If I do, I will post about it!
This is the same as my Pineapple Casserole recipe. It does sound strange, but it's delicious.

Carlo!! Haven't seen you in ages. My bread stuffing is exactly like yours except I add pecans while I'm cooking the onions in butter.
Wow!! Sounds fabulous Carlo! Thanks sweetie.
Thanks!
Yep. I'll never have to worry about my weight again and I don't feel deprived. I will enjoy the holidays and still stay slim and fit.
