Happy Thanksgiving. Yummy, one of my favorite holidays, but I didn’t get near enough food, so hope everyone will do the same stuff for Christmas, or I’m just going to have to make my own Thanksgiving at the house and eat it all myself! Last Tuesday I had a mild (ok, almost severe) panic attack when I realized that I had never gotten Denise’s stuffing recipe from her. Now to a lot of people, this might sound so ridiculous, but I know that for Aaron, it just isn’t Thanksgiving without that stuffing. So I completely panicked, then talked myself down and found what seemed like a similar recipe. I’ve never made it before, the one year they weren’t going to be here to fix it, Aaron had called his mom for the recipe and made it himself. So I kind of remembered what he had written down a few years back. Wednesday when I got off work, I went straight to the store, got all the stuff, and went home with a purpose. This was going to make or break Thanksgiving, ok, maybe not make it – but it would have broken it. I am Thankful to report that it turned out and passed Aaron’s inspection with only a minor change “The celery are usually bigger bites”. So, the recipe lives on.
Aaron’s Thanksgiving Stuffing
2 packages of sausage
Half of a yellow onion, diced (about 1 cup)
3-4 stalks of celery, diced (about 1 cup)
2 boxes of chicken StoveTop
1 box of Cornbread Stovetop
2-3 small cans of chicken broth
½ stick butter (optional)
Salt and pepper
Brown sausage, drain, add onion and celery and cook. When onion and celery are done, remove from heat. Stir in all boxes of stuffing. Put in greased oblong cake dish, pour chicken broth over, melt butter, drizzle over. Salt and pepper a little. Cook at 350 for 30-40 minutes.
Aaron swears it is good. I HATE stuffing, so don’t go near the stuff. But him and the kids eat plenty of it – they all LOVE it.
So know that we had stuffing out of the way, noodles were the next thing on the list. See for me, its just a good meal without noodles. That is what makes or breaks the meal for me. My Nannan used to slave away for hours, but I’ve found a store brand that works for me. I had graciously (selfishly) agreed to bring the noodles to my uncles for lunch on Thanksgiving. They turned out good, even Nannan thought they were homemade and loved them!! At my uncles, all of us kids were there (minus my two step-sisters and their family) and Christopher was at his mom’s. But it was cool to have us all there. Might be a while before it happens again with Allen out of state, Cameron going into the military, and us hopefully moving out of state.
That night we went to my dad’s house. We got to see my “Uncle” Timmy. Love ya Uncle Timmy! Hopefully we will see you all soon down at your place!
The next day we left the kids there and came back home. Friday night had Kevin’s b-day party, got a stomach spasm, Saturday day worked on research paper, went to eat, went Christmas shopping, more on paper, went to neighbors for game night, another stomach spasm, and Sunday went to Rams game. We had great seats, too bad there wasn’t much to watch. At least I enjoyed the company!
