Stuffing!!

Again horrible picture, but the best stuffing ever!! This is the recipe my mother in law uses!! My favorite, though I used to HATE stuffing...no longer :)

6 cups diced bread (I use sourdough from Costco)
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, diced
2 stalks celery, sliced
1/4 tsp rosemary
1/4 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp sage
3 tsp parsley
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups vegetable stock

Preheat oven to 350 F. Spread diced bread on a cookie sheet and place in the oven for at least 15 minutes, tossing occasionally to insure its all toasted. Meanwhile, saute butter, onion and celery over medium heat until onions are translucent.

Remove bread from oven and add the onion mixture, herbs and salt. Mix well. Carefully drizzle the stuffing with vegetable stock and toss gently, if it seems to dry add a little more stock. Bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes. Enjoy!!

Zucchini Casserole

Sorry this picture is not that great, but I promise you it's delicious!! I got this recipe when I was in high school!!

Preheat oven to 350 F
Saute 1 cup chopped onion in 1 stick of margarine
Add 1 can cream of mushroom soup
Add 1 cup sour cream
Add 1 cup shredded carrots
Add 4-5 medium size sliced zucchini (I slice and the cut in half, moon shaped)
Stir everything well to combine, remove from heat.
Fold in half a box of Stove Top stuffing to the mixture. In a separate bowl mix the other half of the box with 1 stick melted butter. Pour zucchini mixture into a 9x13 baking dish, sprinkle topping mixture over the zucchini's. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until golden brown.

Sugar Cookies

I seriously LOVE these cookies!! The dough may seem a little crumbly, but I just form it into a brick like shape and chill it for about 30 minutes...you wont be disappointed!!

1 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Cream together butter and sugar until "fluffy". Add egg and vanilla. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl, then add to the butter mixture. Mix well and chill for 30 minutes. Roll out dough to 1/4" and cut out cookie shapes. Preheat oven to 350 F and bake for 8-10 minutes. Makes approximately 4 dozen 3" cookies!!
