Homemade Cranberry Sauce:

2 cups hulled, washed and dried cranberries.

1 cup of sugar

1/2 tsp. of lemon

3/4 a cup of water.

Boil the above ingredients just until the cranberry skins pop, jar and refridgerate until ready to use.

Easy and way better than that store bought canned junk.

More to die for mashed potatoes, confirmed by all the men in my family. If they visit home, no matter what else I cook these have to be on the menu. Every girl friend hears about these, and of course mom is the only one that can deliver!

5 pounds potatoes perferably the new golds boiled with skins on. Drain and let all steam dissapate but make sure they are still warm. With skins on add to the following...... Which have been allowed to come to room temp in the mixing bowl.

4 T. butter, 1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup Maries blue Cheese dressing, 1/2 cup sour cream, start mixing and add enough half and half to make them smooth and creamy...(it won't take much half and half....so be careful) add seasoned salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste. Remove any skins that come off on the beaters but let the rest remain.

Scoop into a serving bowl and top with an additional 3 T. butter and sprinkle with paprika. They can be put back into the oven to keep warm until your dinner is ready. Cover with foil if you do this.

Heart attack heaven, but ohhh, are they heaven! Top with your favorite gravey.

Great Stuffing .....

1/2 pepperidge farm bread crumbs and 1/2 corn bread.....about 5 cups each. (You will need a huge bowl)

2 or 3 granny smith apples chopped skins left on.

1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.

1 cup chopped dates

2 sticks sweet butter melted (1 pound)

2 cans good quality chicken stock

2 large onions chopped

5 stalks celery sliced

Start by melting one stick butter and saute the chopped onion and celery until soft. add the following spices, at least 3 tbs. sage or more, pepper, and 1 tbs. parsley. 1 tsp. black pepper, and 2 tsp. salt.

Add the rest of the butter and melt down with the above veggies. pour into the 10 cups croutons and stir. Add the 2 cans chicken stock and add the rest of the ingredieants. Taste test and adjust as needed. Add your own favorite spices...... This will bake up perfect either in or outside the turkey but best inside the bird.
