Perrys' Plate My favorite stuffing recipe!

Perrys' Plate: Sourdough Bread Stuffing

My favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner is definitely the STUFFING. I was shocked a couple of years ago when I found out no one was making stuffing for Thanksgiving dinner at my in-laws' house. I guess they're not stuffing people. ...

Judi... would you rather have me bring stuffing or cheesecake? I don't know if I'll have time to make both. :) We'll see.

Whichever works best with your schedule. We can make the stuffing here ~ it'll be 'good for me' to learn to make it. I'll have to track down the fresh herbs and mushrooms. CAN'T WAIT!!! I LOVE food!!!

So get this, for the past 3 years my family has turned thanksgiving into a fun contest. Everyone who comes must draw a card out of a hat and on that card is your dish! After thanksgiving dinner and our bellies are full we give each dish a rating based on 3 categories: Taste, presentation, and originality. The winner th...en gets our famous thanksgiving trophy! This year I got stuck with the potato dish ahhhh! I don't think I've ever made anything with a potato besides a baked potato :)So I've come to you the professional for some help...Do you have any award winning ideas?Read More

Devin,

What a fun idea! I wish my family lived close enough together to do something like that!

Hm.... potato recipes... I'm no professional, but the fact that I grew up in Idaho should give me an advantage, right? JK. I thought of a couple that are really good and a little different from the norm. Unfortunately neither of the posts on my blog have photos or my charming commentary. . . yet :)... Read More

The first one's a variation on mashed potatoes. It's easy, too. Here's the link http://www.perrysplate.com/2008/02/garlic-mashed-red-potatoes.html

The second one isn't hard, just labor-intensive as it involves layering and such. It uses phyllo dough, too. Have you ever worked with that? It's the paper-thin dough that turnovers are made from.This dish is amazing though. I've made it several times and it never fails to knock our socks off. Here's the link: http://www.perrysplate.com/2008/02/ham-potato-phyllo-bake.html

Hope that helps! Good luck!

Aren't these rad? I wanted to make these last year for Halloween, then for the Twilight movie premier (no regrets there - the movie was weak), but didn't. I was 8 months pregnant. That's my only excuse.

These may look like regular chocolate cookies with a few nuts thrown in, but don't be deceived. There's cinnamon baked into them as well as chunks of chocolate and pepitas (pumpkin seeds). The pepitas are optional, but I loved the bit of salty crunch it gave them. ...
