Holiday Stuffing Recipe

This month I'm going to share a few favorite Thanksgiving recipes.  This stuffing is always a big hit. I suggest you make it once before the big day in case you want to make any changes. Make your favorite and this one too!

What You Need

1 Lb. Fresh bread (torn into 2-inch cubes)

6 Tbsp unsalted butter

1 1/4 cups white onion (diced)

1 cup celery (diced)

 1 cup carrots (diced)

 3 cloves garlic (minced)

 2 cups chestnuts (cut into 3 pieces)

 2 Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored, and diced)

 6 oz. dried cranberries (cherry flavored is best)

 2 Tbsp thyme leaves (chopped)

 2 tsp kosher salt

 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper

 1 cup flat-leaf parsley (chopped)

 3 large eggs

 1 1/2 cups heavy cream

 1 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

Large roasting pan

Large Bowl

3 Qt baking dish

Large skillet

Whisk

Small bowl or four cup measuring cup

Foil

Before You Start preheat oven to 300°F.

Let Make It! Place bread in a roasting pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, gently stirring bread twice, until lightly toasted and firm. Cool completely; place into a large bowl. Butter a 3-quart baking dish with 1 Tbsp of the butter. Melt remaining butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add onion, celery, carrot, and garlic and sauté 8 minutes, stirring frequently, or until vegetables are softened. Stir in chestnuts, apples, cranberries, thyme, salt, and pepper; sauté 4 minutes longer. Add mixture to bread with parsley and toss until well blended. Whisk eggs, cream and broth in small bowl or a 4-cup measure; drizzle mixture over stuffing mixture and gently toss until evenly moistened. Spoon dressing into prepared baking dish; cover with foil. Forty-five minutes before serving the turkey, place stuffing in a 350°F. oven; bake 25 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until stuffing is hot, browned and slightly crisp on top.

Reminder: Once I reach 1000 followers I will have another giveaway.The cupcake apron giveaway went well. It would be nice to have a giveaway before The December holidays arrive ( Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa)

The Gift Of Grace

 Today I received a package in the mail. I won a giveaway from
3 Little Birds Boutique!

 
This lovely prize was titled "A Gift of Grace".

Winning this prize in Kristen's generous giveaway is a fortunate coincidence. As many of you know I live by the personal philosophy of greeting each day with grace, dignity, and gratitude. These are not just words said but words lived.

Printed inside the philosophy box is the following: how you climb up the mountain is just as important as how you get down the mountain, and so it is with life. Which for many of us becomes one big gigantic test followed by one big gigantic lesson. In the end, it all comes down to one word, Grace. It's how you accept winning and losing, good luck and bad luck, the darkness and the light.

I am sincerely grateful for this lovely prize and for the message shared.

For each of you I send sincere wishes for Grace, in all you do, in all lessons taught, lessons learned, and in all mountains climbed.
