So Thanksgiving was a little while ago, but I did make a recipe from Betty's book for the occasion. Because Bets is the Queen of the Basics, I knew the stuffing recipe would rock. I read out the ingredients to my mom, and she said it sounded really similar to my grandma's recipe, except it was lacking sausage. Lo and behold, Betty had a sausage variation. Okay, despite the Freudian theme this post seems to be taking, the stuffing was delicious.
Of COURSE the grocery store was out of bread cubes, so I had to cut up an entire loaf of bread with scissors. And of COURSE I doubled the sausage (I think, it was in grams, Betty wanted pounds, I just wanted enough stuffing for everyone to eat). It tasted just like stuffing should. Oh, the comfort.
To counter-act the insane amount of fat and badness in the stuffing, I made a non-Betty salad. Mixed greens, pecans I sauteed with cayenne, salt and sugar, romaine, dried cranberries, red delicious apples, pumpkin seeds and Parmesan cheese. The dressing was fig balsamic, olive oil, Dijon mustard and cinnamon. O. M. G. It was a hit, I have to admit! I wasn't a huge fan, but my family was happy and it was so pretty!
All in all, alot to be grateful for... Betty included.
It sounds delicious. I think we need to have dinner...maybe just salad and stuffing :) I would have loved to taste both.
