November & Stuffing

 Well I thought I would take a little break from posting stuff about my vacation. And instead talk about Fall, November and Thanksgiving.
Look at that picture of the tree outside my window. I LOVE that tree! I look forward to November all year because I know that I will get to see those beautiful red leaves for a few weeks.
Last Saturday we went down to Silver Spring to watch the Thanksgiving Parade and we met up with our friends the Bearmans. It was really fun and the kids got lots of candy. And just in time to! Trum was almost out of Halloween candy!


 Also last year when I posted about Thanksgiving I wrote about my mom's DE-licious stuffing and a few of you asked for the recipe. So if you are still looking for it here it is...
Stuffing Ala Joanie
(Just so you know this is only 1/2 of her recipe. So if you have a small army to feed go ahead and double this.)
2 1/2 cups dry bread crumbs (or cubes)
1 1/2 cups Ritz Cracker crumbs
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp sage
1/4 cup butter
1 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped onion
8 oz. can mushroom slices with liquid
Hot Water
-In a large bowl combine bread crumbs, crackers, pepper, salt, dry mustard and sage.
-In a pan melt butter. Add celery and onion, saute until limp, stir in mushrooms with liquid.
-Combine with bread crumb mixture adding hot water until bread is barely damp.
-Now you can pack it into your bird and secure it with foil or you can put it in a baking dish and cover it.
Then heat it for about 30 minutes. I usually put it in the dish and heat it at 350.

Anyway, whether you make this stuffing or not, Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you, thank you. I needed a good stuffing recipe. You may have saved Thanksgiving for me! And by the way, we were at the parade too. Too bad we didn't see you. We had fun as well and the kids loved the candy part too!
