Thanksgiving help!

Nov 16, 2007 09:44

So, my mother has asked me to make the Thanksgiving stuffing (as well as a pie - not pumpkin). I'm quite honored to have been given this task, and I have been perusing stuffing recipes for the past couple of days, trying to find one that is "just right." I now need your help in deciding which one to make ( Read more... )

My mother used to make an apple stuffing that was faaaaantastically delicious. Sadly I have no idea what the recipe was or where to find it but I looked quick on the Food Network and Epicurious sites and these sound a lot like it.
Now I'm hungry too!!

mmmmmm. They BOTH sound fantastic. I noticed the shallots and currants in the Epicurious one - along with some awesome sounding spices. That might be the winner, depending on how the rest of the votes go.

God, I love stuffing.

It might be to some people, but I love quinoa. It's so delicate, but packs so much taste and nutrition. Check out this recipe, from Cooking Light magazine. It has the celery and sage like in traditional dressing/stuffing, but it's just different enough.

Thanks for the recommendation. I can't wait to try this, sometime in December! I just need to get the right strainer so that I can rinse the quinoa first.

My first pick would be #1 if you were comfortable with the cornbread... otherwise I would so totally go with #3, and bring on the butter. It's Thanksgiving, after all.

Then again, I've always liked the "traditional" Stove-Top stuffing in the red box, so you might not want to trust my choices. Hee!

Yeah, that cranberry cornbread really did appeal to me - I LOVE cranberries. I may try #3 a different day - stuffing is so freaking good that it's a shame to not have it more often. Though with 2 sticks of butter perhaps not TOO often.
