No Recipe today....Today ,Mrs. Martin and I plan to do some cooking.. A lot of cooking...See ,we are having people over the house tomorrow....My Daughter and son and Law...Our Grandchildren and my mother in law....So we will be fixing a traditional Christmas meal.
I'm going to start off with a Turkey, Though I doubt it will be as large as the turkey in the illustration-LOL
The Second Meat will be a Ham...Adorned with Pineapple rings and cherry!
At our Christmas Dinner, We have always served collard greens-
and Macaroni and Cheese-
And of course you've got to have some cranberry sauce-
To finish that off..or rather to add to it....I plan to make some cornbread stuffing-
Okay, I lied...I do have a recipe for this-
Cornbread Stuffing recipe :
Ingredients:
Cornbread, recipe follows
7 slices oven-dried white bread
1 sleeve saltine crackers
8 tablespoons butter
2 cups celery, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
7 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon sage (optional)
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning (optional)
5 eggs, beaten
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the celery and onion and cook until transparent, approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
Pour the vegetable mixture over cornbread mixture. Add the stock, mix well, taste, and add salt, pepper to taste, sage, and poultry seasoning.
Add beaten eggs and mix well. Reserve 2 heaping tablespoons of this mixture for the giblet gravy. Pour mixture into a greased pan and bake until dressing is cooked through, about 45 minutes. Serve with turkey as a side dish...but you knew that!
For Dessert- Deep Dish Apple Pie-
And of course a red and white wine as a beverage-
Good Food, Good Wine, Family, Friends, Good Conversation, lots of laughter....That's what Christmas means to me! Hope you and your family have a Merry one and most importantly...Keep Christ first and foremost in Christmas...
