i brought our very special, and lovely, Happy Thanksgiving cards, turkey decoratives, and baking supplies into the kitchen :) getting the kitchen cozy warm, and ready to cook and bake! :) here's the ingredients, for the homemade stuffing with sausage and cornbread :)
1 Box of Jiffy Cornbread mix
1 loaf of Stuffing bread
1-Egg
1- package of sausage to cook
1-Bell Pepper
1 Onion
2 celery sticks
1 can of chicken Broth (stock)
Making the stuffing, is lots of fun :) this morning, i first began to prepare the cornbread mix :) We love cornbread, and it adds a sweet taste to the stuffing :) i got a bowl, and a spoon, and added in the stuffing mix, milk, vegetable oil, and 2 eggs (since i made a double batch of stuffing) :) i mixed the cornbread, and put the cornbread mix into a nice greased baking pan/dish :) i put the cornbread into the oven to bake :) the cornbread was baking nicely :) the next step, is cooking the sausage :) my mom, dad, and Lisa bought 2 nice packages of the sausage :) i got a frying pan, put a little vegetable oil in it, and began to cook the sausage :) the sausage was sizzle sizzling! :) mmm mmm! :) i love the scent of sausage cooking :) i used a spatula, to make the sausage into nice tiny pieces :) the cornbread finished baking, i brought the cornbread out of the oven to cool down :)
i fully cooked the sausage, and put the sausage on the back of the stove area :) with the sausage, you can decide to drain out the sausage grease, or you can keep the sausage grease, to help add more flavor to the stuffing :) we usually keep the sausage grease, to add the extra flavoring :)it was then time, to prepare, and cook, the vegetables :) This is one of the biggest parts of the recipe :) i used, 1 bell pepper, 2 onions, and 3 celery stalks, since i'm making a double batch of the stuffing :) i was so very into this! :) Thanksgiving cooking time! :) i was thinking of you all, and taking pictures of the cooking adventure i was having :) this was great! :) my mom, Lisa, and Alyssa were coming out into the kitchen, checking in on the adventure :) We love the stuffing :)
The 3rd step to making the stuffing, is cutting the vegetables :) i chopped the bell pepper, 2 onions, and celery stalks, and i then put them into a cooking pot, and i added in, 2 cans of chicken broth :) i let the vegetable simmer cook in the chicken broth :) This is a big step, as the vegetables soak up the chicken broth, for that added flavor of yummy goodness :) mmm mmm! :)i must admit, i was getting SUPER HUNGRY!!! as i was preparing the stuffing :) while the vegetables were cooking on the stove, i then crumbled up, the stuffing bread :) the 2 loafs of stuffing bread, i crumbled nicely, in a big bowl :) i then crumbled up, the cornbread, adding it to the stuffing bread :) i then poured in the sausage (with sausage grease) :) the stuffing was coming together!!! :)
When the vegetables had fully cooked, it was then time, to pour the vegetables and chicken broth, into the bowl with the crumbled breads, and sausage :) i then added 2 eggs into the bowl, and i stirred and stirred :) SUPER STIRRING on this sweet cooking super wednesday! :) i got some nice baking dishes/pans, and i used butter to grease the pans, and then added in the stuffing into the pans :) i baked the stuffing in the oven, for about 15 mintues :) i then brought the stuffing out of the oven, to cool down a bit, i put aluminum foil on top of the stuffing, and put the stuffing/pans into the fridge :) tomorrow morning, we're gonna put the stuffing back into the oven, for about 25 minutes, and then will be bringing one of the stuffings/dishes over to my sister Jenn's home, and we'll have another stuffing/dish for our home :) i had so much fun, and had the time of my life, making this wonderful stuffing today, and taking pictures of it :) we are gonna be digging into the stuffing tomorrow! :) oh my! :) oh my!!! :) i can almost TASTE that delicious stuffing :) it warms my heart, knowing that my family will be enjoying the stuffing tomorrow :) it's very special, and precious to me :) i love sharing with you all here in my journal, about how i make the stuffing, and how i love to prepare the stuffing each year, and taking pictures :) i'm very happy, and thankful to have this awesome tradition in my life, to share with family and friends :) Happy Thanksgiving smiles :)

The stuffing looks DELISH, CHRIS!!! I did mine today as well along with most of the other foods we\'re having... Sounds like you day was just wonderful, dear Chris!!! Love the annual stuffing cookiings!!!
Got pretty adventurous with my dressing (don\'t stuff my bird as the bird cooks better without it... think you do the same...) with rice, 2 kinds of bread cubes from which I cut the crusts and toasted, carrots, celery, toasted walnuts and oatmeal (done in oven first), and rubbed sage from my OWN GARDEN. Everything got mixed, an egg, and stock for a nice looking pan... I dotted the top with butter and will bake tomorrow morning... I\'ve got my cranberries ready to be cooked with chunks of orange. Just a long day of cooking and preparing... OH, I forgot--had to make my PUMPKIN PIE!! Thank to the Goddess I had cooked a small pumpkin and froze it so that was easy! I also was thanking the UNIVERSE that I had a can of evaporated milk in my pantry as I had forgotten that ingredient!!
Tomorrow is another big cooking day--LOVE IT!!! Love to you and everyone in CT!!! Have a TERRIFIC TURKEY DAY!!! xoxoxo Cj
