sausage and sage stuffing

DSC_7123
For the past few years, I have been trying to find that perfect stuffing… similar to my moms, but homemade. She’d always doctor up a box, which was yummy- but…. I wanted to think outside the box. (Hardy, har har)

One year, I made cornbread stuffing from scratch. It was so dry I need water to even think about it.

Another year, I made a potato bread stuffing. Too soggy.

I was beginning to feel like Goldilocks except with stuffing.

quick tip for cranberry sauce

DSC_7078

I’m more of a “whole-berry” gal myself. But, there are times when you have guests that are more of can-o-jelled-sauce fans. Let’s face it… the can-o-jelled-sauce looks ugly. Let’s “Martha-it up”!

I made a  pasta salad over the weekend. And, a seaside cake. But, since my last post was cake.. I thought I’d give you a break on cake. See how much I love y’all?!

Speaking of cake, I may attempt some of those cake pops later… we’ll see. I have a lot of leftover cake from leveling. Since we’re on the topic of sweets, let me tell you about my dream last night. Since I remember it right now, I probably won’t remember it in an hour.

I was making a dessert for a contest of some sort… it was coconut, pralines and evaporated milk…baked up in a casserole. Seriously, I don’t know what on earth I was thinking…err dreaming when I made that last night in dreamland.

But, my old boss’s mother in law liked it. Yeah, weird dream.

German potato salad

German potato salad: (n)

- the total opposite of your mama’s potato salad.

 

The other day, when I didn’t know what to make for dinner (again! ) my hubby requested my “German baked pork chops” , and I got to chose the side.

I never made this type of potato salad before, but I thought it went well with the main dish, and I was too lazy to make spatzle.
