Sausage and Cranberry Holiday Stuffing
Serves 12
Thanksgiving has to be one of my all time holidays. It is my favorite holiday meal. I absolutely love the combination of foods. The fresh roast turkey, sausage stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, cranberry sauce, green beans and corn pudding. This year as I sat eating dinner with my family I took my time and enjoyed each bite. It takes days to put the entire meal together and I wanted to enjoy the fruits of my labor. It was a nice quiet Thanksgiving and I have to say I really enjoyed the small gathering. I didn't feel the pressure of having lots of guests and making sure that everyone was well taken care of. Ted was in charge of the bar and I made most of the side dishes a day or two ahead with the exception of the mashed potatoes. I am picky and like to make those right before serving them. It was a wonderful evening. My neighbor Wally stopped by and we all enjoyed a nice conversation about politics of all things. I think that no matter what political party you are a part of that it is important that we come together as a nation. We are blessed to be part of this great country and as my Grandfather always said - America is the land of opportunity, God Bless America the land of the free the home of the brave. I pray of our leader and President and I hope that you will do the same. Blessings to you and yours this holiday season. Cecelia
