Does Anyone Have a Good Stuffing Recipe?

[Kathy in Cambridge]

My sister is having Christmas Dinner for the first time and I told her I'd make the stuffing.

I was thinking of doing something with nuts and apples, or dried cranberries. Does anyone have a traditional-or nontraditional recipe that they particularly like?

1. Make it, cook it, and eat it. Really, I don't know. (nt)

2. Stuffing or dressing?

If you cook it in the bird, it's stuffing. Else, it's dressing.

Here's a good site with recipes and tips:

4. My recipe uses a pound of spicy Italian sausage meat

Stuffing (or dressing) ain' t meant to be health food and should be constructed that way.

Happy Holidays

5. Make the traditional, but add. . .

chopped walnuts. Gives a satisfying crunchiness. Add about 1-2 cups, depending on how much you make. (Sorry I can't be more specific on measurements. Stuffing is one thing that I do purely by feel and sight. We like it slightly dry to glop gravy over, rather than the mushier versions.)

Also use whole wheat bread instead of white.

I don't bother stuffing the bird, but bake the stuffing in a casserole, uncovered, till the top gets browned.

6. This one is the best...I mean the best!

1 package of Pepperidge Farm dressing
1 package of "cubes"
1 onion finely chopped
some mushrooms finely chopped
2 sticks of celery finely chopped
a little sausage (if you get one of those round things (you know what I mean), use about a third) fry it and make sure there are small
pieces
1 chicken boullion
little bit of garlic

Mix all of the above and you will he best dressing ever.
