Thanksgiving shortcuts are hard to pull off here in Germany. So when I go on about making my own dressing from scratch and you just want to hurl, remember that I can’t get things like Stove Top Dressing Mix here in Germany. If I could, I might very well use it. Or I...
On one of the homesteading groups I subscribe to, a member was just sending this recipe around. If you are addicted to Stove Top Stuffing but would rather try something from scratch, here are a few recipes to make your own. ...
Thanksgiving will be combined with Christmas at our house this year. I would have loved to do a traditional dinner with all the trimmings, but I could be in the hospital, have just brought Mack home or still be pregnant - so planning a huge feast at our place with...
