Turkey Stuffing

Hello friends!  Welcome back and welcome if you are new!  So glad to have you!


The holiday season is quickly approaching and so this brings me back to the mystery recipe box!  A reminder: I have no idea where it came from or who the recipes are from inside!  I spotted a recipe for "Turkey Stuffing".  I live for stuffing, so I had to try it.  It met all of my stuffing dreams.  Every. Single. One.  Stop with the box stuff.  This is just as easy and you know what is in it!  Let's  go!

You will need:
7 cups either dried bread cubes or day old bread cut into small cubes. (you can toast your bread as well)
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup diced celery
1/4 cup minced onions
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp poultry seasoning
1 cup broth
1 3/4 cup hot water (divided)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Place bread in a bowl big enough to stir it in!  In a skillet, melt butter, add celery and onion.  Let cook 3 -4 minutes until softened.  Add into bread along with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning.  Mix.  Add in chicken broth and 3/4 cup water and mix again.  Place into a greased casserole dish.  Spread evenly.  Use you judgement and pour over up to 1 cup of hot water.  If you don't think it needs it at all, don't add any.  It should NOT be soupy!!!  Bake for 45 to 60 minutes.  If you don't want it crispy on top, cover with foil first.

Here is a video to guide you!

Hope you love it as much as I do, hubby won't touch stuffing with somebody else's 10 foot pole!

ENJOY!

Creamy Adobo Dip

Hello, and welcome back to another blog post and recipe! i'm so excited to have you back. And I hope you are all enjoying the beginning of fall.


I figured that football season is a good time to share my dips with you, and I don't believe I've ever shared this one. This is a favorite of my husband's, and I think it's pretty swell myself. So no matter who you're rooting for this will be perfect for your game day parties or your game day alone. You all know by now, that I am a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan, and I will let it slide if you aren't! 🦅

Let's get into this easy but delicious recipe, ready?

You will need...
2-3 chilis in adobo (4-5 if you want it hotter)
1 tsp of the adobo sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise 
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese shredded
Green onion or chives for garnish (optional)

In a food processor place chilis, and give them a whirl until mostly smooth.  Add in sour cream, mayonnaise, onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin.  Let it go for a minute or 2 until combined.

Pour into a bowl, add in shredded cheese and stir.  Refrigerate for AT LEAST an hour before serving and serve with tortilla chips!

Garnish with chives or green onions before serving if you like!

Enjoy!
