Turkey & Cornbread Dressing 2024

This year, I rediscovered baking the turkey in an oven bag. Very satisfying result! 

A half of it was eaten during one sitting.

The dressing was tasty as usual. The old recipe is very good. I need to save it from being lost. It used to be available on the net, but (regrettably) that site is gone with the wind.

 

Dressing ingredients:

• 3 stalks of celery,
• 1 medium-size onion,
• 1/3 cup butter,
• 12 slices of one-day-old bread,
• chicken broth - 2 cups,
• milk - 1/2 cup,
• eggs - 2 beaten,
• salt - 1/4tsp,
• poultry seasoning - 1 tsp,
• sage - 1/2 tsp,
• pepper - 1/4 tsp,

Peaches & Fruit Banditos

 After a long, long time - another baking experiments.

I have been thinking of making a peach cobbler for some time. When, quite by accident, we got the fruit cobbler mix (the Rustling' Rob's Fruit Banditos), it was time to experiment again.

I follow the recipe given by the Fruit Banditos (used canned peaches) and the result was wonderful. Much better that I hoped for! 

 We "destroyed" it quite quickly.

 Next time, I will try to use apricots instead of peaches.

Summer Treat

 What is your favorite summer treat?

Best Baked Bacon Ever

 What you need

Bacon, of course, a flat Pyrex dish, and aluminum foil. Black pepper for seasoning.

Bake it at 375F for about 30 minutes, until it is crispy and slightly brown.

Dry it the on the paper towel sheet for a while.

Ribs Premiere

Home baked ribs for the first time. Some sliced onion, seasoning, some water + 90 minutes in the oven (375F), and they were ready.

The ribs were quite good - not much fat, lots of good meat on them.

Potato Cakes

When did you last have potato cakes? They work well as a side to a meat entry.

If you happen to have mashed potatoes leftovers, you can make them quite easily. Just add an egg, some flour, diced onion, salt, and pepper. Mix it all together. The dough will be a bit sticky, then the cakes will turn out best.

Put them with a spoon into a pan with hot oil, flatten the sticky dough and fry the potato cakes on both sides until they turn golden brown. 

 

When the cakes are ready, put them for a little while on a plate with a paper towel (to drain the oil).

Serve with ketchup.
