Thanksgiving Dumplings and Dressing

To Southerners, Dumplings and Dressing kind of fall in that category of main dishes.  Either one can stand on its own in a meal, even without the meat.  But at a special holiday they are served as a side dish.  Even with the chicken they are a must with ham, turkey or what ever you serve.  They are as varied as they come with every cook making them different.  At Stevens Catering we made them a little bland so you could add more poultry seasoning or sage as you like.  Some cooks use boiled eggs, some used raw.  You can make those changes if you like.  Make it yours with our recipe. 




 




Thanksgiving Menu- Meats

The recipes offered at Sweets and Eats and Stevens Catering were always well received at Thanksgiving.  This will be several long posts, but I am sharing the recipes with few pictures so you will have the recipes for the holidays.  Blessings for a great Thanksgiving and enjoy!

If you are wanting a traditional cooked turkey that is not dry, then this is the recipe for you.

    Decorated Sugar Cookies with Buttercream Icing

    I promised a second post for decorated cookies with a recipe for buttercream icing.  It would not be Christmas without this particular cookie made to its imperfections as the years go by.  In the 70’s, I was a stickler for perfection.  Every eye, hair curl and holly in its place.  But as the years go by and the grand children come, it is more about the process than the end product.  Sometimes Santa turns out pretty good, then sometimes he looks a little stressed.  But isn’t that true to life? 

    Never the less, Christmas comes and goes and Santa always gets used for a class party or left for Santa at the stockings.  I have made a million of them but my most fun has been with the children and grands.  It is one of our Christmas traditions.  Don’t let it stress you out.  Just enjoy for what it is!

    The cookie cutter I use for Santa dates back to the 1970’s.  It is a Hallmark and you can only get it on one of the online auctions.  My daughters quickly bought one for the family but I am still sure it is available.  It is a dandy!
