We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
This is Eddie's new Thanksgiving hat!
Isn't he adorable?
Now he's washing our turkey to get him ready to cook!
We no longer stuff our turkey with dressing/stuffing. Instead we stuff him with carrots, celery, onions and herbs: rosemary, thyme and sage. The sage we grew in our own garden. I also threw in a lemon this year too! And I brushed the bird with butter! I also lay him on a bed of carrots, celery and onions. He cooked quicker than what we were led to believe, so we'll shorten it by at least an hour next time!
These are the potatoes leaching! We leach them to get some of the potassium out. They're a little better for my Mom that way!
I was inpired by the food network this year. I took something I saw on one of the challenges and created my own new dressing/stuffing item. This is the goo for the stuffing simmering on the stove.
This is the bread waiting to be goo-ed! The little bowl is for Eddie's private dressing. I make him his own without vegies in it!!!
My great idea this year, was to make STUFFINS! Yep! That's right! STUFFINS!

My great idea this year, was to make STUFFINS! Yep! That's right! STUFFINS!I took some of the stuffing and greased a cupcake tray and made individual STUFFINS! I love the crunchy top of Stuffing, but I also like the soft wet stuff too, so this is a way to get both! They're crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Taste delicious with gravy!!!
I think they went over very well! I think I will do this next year. I developed the idea after seeing a chef making individual crocks of stuffing on a food challenge. I thought, "HEY! That's a great idea! What if I put the stuffing in a cupcake pan?! Eveyone could have there own little stuffing muffin." Hense...STUFFINS!
Did the Easter Bunny come to your Thanksgiving?
He came to ours and brought his brother!!!
