Ma’s Stuffing-Made Healthy
My grandma, who we called Ma, made the BEST corn bread stuffing. I still make it every year for Thanksgiving and made it again this weekend for some Stuffing Bombs. This recipe is enough to serve 6 on Thanksgiving with leftovers.
Ingredients:
–Corn bread
-1 loaf of sprouted grain bread
-1 large onion chopped
-1 bunch of celery chopped (including leaves)
-1 TBSP dried sage
-1/4 cup torn fresh sage (optional)-if not using, up your dried sage
-1 16 ounce carton of chicken broth
-S+P
Instructions:
2 days before the stuffing needs to be done, set your breads out to get stale. I like to do this on a wire cooling rack because the air flows on both sides. Alternately, cut your bread up into bite size pieces and put on a cookie tray in one layer. Bake in a preheated 300* oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Spray a pan with nonstick spray, or use a little butter or olive oil. Sauté onions and celery until translucent.
In a large bowl, combine the celery/onion mixture with the bread mixture. Add the sage, S+P, and chicken stock. I eyeball the chicken stock and stop adding before the stuffing gets too soggy. Taste the stuffing and adjust spices as needed.
Bake in a preheated 350* oven for 30 minutes. Enjoy!

Let’s see. We would add macaroni and csheee to that; broccoli casserole; and pecan pie. Katie has a really yummy raspberry jello salad that we like too. The menu staples appear each year, and then we throw in new things along the way! Katie has been our turkey maker too the way she does it is so so good and moist. Can you see, just have your sister in law share all of her family recipes. A true recipe for success!!!!
