Cornbread Stuffing

February26

Recipe: Cornbread Dressing/Stuffing

Ingredients

  • 1 already prepared recipe of your favorite cornbread (Bob’s Red Mill GF Cornbread is the brand we used)
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 1/8 tsp sage
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2-4 cups chicken stock

Instructions

  1. Grease 9×13 pan. Preheat oven to 350 degress.
  2. Over medium high heat, saute onion, bellpepper, and celery in coconut oil until tender.
  3. While sauteing, crumble cornbread into a large bowl.
  4. Add vegetables and spices to cornbread. Stir gently to combine. Add chicken broth until very moist and almost soupy. How much stock you need will depend on your cornbread.
  5. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 40-45 minutes or until browned and the center is done.

Quick Notes:

This recipe got great reviews from my husband, our friends, and myself.  I am not normally a stuffing eater but this was delicious.  I liked the crusty exterior and amazing flavor.

Oven Fries

February22

Recipe: Oven Fries

Ingredients

  • 5 Potatoes, Yukon, Russet, Red, Purple, or a Combination of them all.
  • 2-3 Garnet Yams/Sweet Potatoes
  • 2-3 tsp Parsley Flakes
  • 1-2 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1-2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 3 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2-3 cloves Garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Cut potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes and place in large mixing bowl.
  2. Add oil and seasonings and mix well.  I tend to use the high end of all the seasonings but adjust to your taste.
  3. Bake in 400 degree oven for 45 minutes or until soft.

Quick Notes

In a time pinch, I put the fries in at 400 for as much time as I have and then switch it to broil for the last 5-10 minutes or so.  You have to watch them closely to make sure they don’t burn but that is often easier dealing then hungry, whiny children.
