Corn Bread Dressing for Thanksgiving and Christmas Only

Cook 2 round pans of yellow cornbread as directed. Cook a full chicken in water until done. Break chicken into pieces without the skin. Keep the broth made from the boiled chicken. These items should be done the day before.

Next day - Cook 2 large onions until done, set aside. While preparing dressing, pre-heat oven to 375-400 degrees depending on your oven. Take broth from chicken and reheat. Using a large bowl, crumble cornbread into bowl. Add 3 large eggs, onions, boiled chicken pieces, salt and pepper to taste. Mix all together. Add this mixture to a large casserole dish (9 1/2 x 12) and pat down. Add the reheated chicken broth to casserole dish. If you need additional broth, add canned as needed. Add enough broth to make the mixture very juicy.

Place in oven and cook for 1 hour. Check to see if more broth is needed. The dressing should be very juicy and the top should be browned. If the top is not browned, use the broil option but only on low for a few minutes. Keep a watch on it so as not to burn the top. Serve with turkey gravy! Enjoy!

9) What is your favorite holiday and tradition? Christmas Eve we open our presents because of my German background. The children go to one of their rooms with Daddy and they wait to hear the "bell" that signals Santa has been to our house. They come out to see all the presents under the tree. I do not put any presents until that night!

10) If you could only choose one color from SU! which is your absolute favorite? Taken with Teal

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog! Have a blessed day!

Too Funny!

Twas the night before Christmas, I'm glued to the tree.

I'm wondering what Santa brought just for me.

Could it be cardstock or inkpads or lace?

Or some stamps, I said, with a smile on my face.

And that's when I heard him......"Hi Santa, " I said.

He replied, "You know....good girls should be in their beds".

"I know I should Santa,and now I've been caught.

But I was just so excited to see what you brought."

"Well, let's take a look in this room where you work".

He shook his head quickly, and left with a jerk.

I heard him exclaim as he put it in gear.

"You've got enough crap,I'll see you next year!"
