It is December 24, 2012, and I am baking our Christmas turkey and dressing in the oven as I type. You guys are playing together and laughing in Whit's room. It is such a pleasant sound to hear on Christmas Eve. Daddy is spinning the Christmas hits on the stereo, while we all go about our holiday merriment.
Holiday recipes were a big part of our festivities when I was a child. We had a traditional Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter menu. I haven't stuck to the same menu every year, but I hope you still have some fond memories of good food and family at this time of year.
Here is the "family" recipe for dressing. I, of course, modified it to be gluten free.
Gluten Free Holiday Dressing
*1 pan of your favorite GF cornbread (prepared WITHOUT the sugar or honey/sweetener - you don't want this to be sweet) - Crumble this up in a big bowl with some GF bread or GF biscuit crumbs. Work the cornbread and bread together till well mixed and finely broken up.
*GF chicken broth
*GF condensed cream of chicken soup
*onions and celery chopped
*2 eggs
*GF seasoning of your choice
After you have your big bowl of cornbread and bread crumbs, add the other ingredients and mix together. You will need to abandon the spoon at some point and dig in with your hands if you want to make this the way your Auntie Ashlea and I do. I have left the quantity of ingredients out because I am not sure how much of everything I use. It depends on the size of the cornbread mix. You may need two eggs since gluten free things tend to need extra stickiness to work well. Experiment with this recipe and I think you will be delighted with the results. Spread the mixture in a pan and bake at 350* until firm. Probably about 20-30 minutes.
I think this recipe taste amazing with turkey, gravy, and good friends and family to share it with.
