Put together a family recipe book and let the youngest members of the family decorate the cover. It’s a keepsake in so many ways. Stories and photos can also be added or added year after year. No one makes it better than favorite relative…so record it. It’s a Thanksgiving to remember and a lasting legacy. Happy Thanksgiving! Need a skillet stuffing?

Kelly’s Skillet Stuffing
Prebake biscuits and cornbread. Let the bread air dry for at least 4 to 6 hours. Dice 1 cup of onions and celery. Chop walnuts and prunes. Ready a half cup of dried cranberries. Prepare brandied cherries by simmering 1 can of 15 oz. dark sweet pitted cherries in brandy. Drain this for the dressing. In the skillet: Melt a half stick of butter. Simmer the onions & celery until soft. Add the dried cranberries, prunes and walnuts. Toss in large crumbles of the cornbread and smaller crumbles of the homemade biscuits. Gently, toss in the drained brandied cherries. Add fresh turkey drippings, as needed. This is a fluffy dressing; so, don’t make it too moist. Season with sage and poultry seasoning. Optional flavoring is to add crisp bacon crumbles. Cook covered until heated thoroughly. It’s a Thanksgiving treasure. © Kelly McBride Loft
