What no corn bread stuffing?

Mom probably might give them a try if she had a little more encouragement.
Turducken for us this year. (Thank you Chuck Hughes, Chef in Montreal). Still working on the stuffing though. I’ll have to reread this later to see if any of Mom’s stuffing ideas are okay.

Yum! Other than we use brown bread, that’s EXACTLY how I make my stuffing and it’s raved about every year! And why do people keep wanting to mess with tradition anyway…

I just can’t do it. I love “traditional” stuffing, and I look forward to eating it on Thanksgiving. While some of the others sound good, Thanksgiving should only be for what is tradition for you. You have the other 364 days to try something new. And maybe then you can make that your new tradition.Hello everyone! @ GsMom – I can’t believe you got a Christmas card already! The “get it done early” gene must run in your family. :-) @ Aaron – Turducken sounds good. That’s nice of you to make this for your firebuddies. I’m sure they appreciate it. Hope you all have a good Sunday! Gotta go get some things done today, so I’ll have to finish the rest of the comics later.

WOW!! Thanks everyone — I thought I was the only person in the world that still uses the traditional stuffing. I only do it once a year, so I do it traditional — and my husband and I still love it.
