My Mothers Beloved Stuffing

My brother goes crazy over my Moms stuffing.  I like it but I am always tring new stuff so it has not been high on my priority list to make. Over the years I have come to appreciate it.  Now, I really love it.

The stuffing pictured above is not my Moms.  I will get a picture as soon as possible. 

I asked my Mom for the recipe.  Mom says, "I dont really have a recipe but I will do my best."


Mom's Stuffing


2 cups celery, chopped
2 cups onions, chopped
1/4 pound butter
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups of giblets
1 teaspoon dried and crushed sage
giblet broth
if needed canned or boxed broth
stuffing bread or Country white bread, kind of a dense bread (dried a little)

Cut bread into cubes, spread out on a cookie sheet and air dry over night.

Rinse giblets.  Boil in salted water until soft.  Save broth, set aside. Trim giblets and cut into little pieces.

Sauté onions and celery in butter with a little salt and pepper until soft. Remove from heat.

In  large bowl combine everything and two beaten eggs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Put enough giblet broth in there to get it really wet but not soupy.

Lightly grease pan. Bake at 350F covered initially (first 20 minutes) then remove cover. Bake a total of 45 minutes approximately.  If it is still really wet leave in oven 15 mire minutes. It won't hurt anything, says Mom.

Note:  You can add sausage or bacon, already cooked as well. Mom prefers Jimmy Dean, breakfast sausage.

Happy Valentines Day

In the spirit of the quote from Mahatma Gandhi... "Be the change you want to see in the world."  I decided to send my daughter off to school with Valentines that look like these.

The apple says, "You are the apple of my eye".

The banana says, "I go bananas over you."

The "cutie" says, "You are such a cutie."

She was pretty jazzed about it because she said her teacher would appreciate the nutrition and the effort.

Don't get me wrong a candy once in a while is okay but, geez, candy comes at the kids from every angle and too much sugar... all those chemicals... nuff said.

40 Free Valentine's Day Images
I will end with this saying that my Mom loves to say about a kiss.  Maybe its from the dictionary, I don't know but it just tickles all of us when she says it.

"A kiss is a juxtaposition of 2 orbicular muscles in a state of contraction."

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
