stuffed

i'm already thinking about the stuffing mom makes for thanksgiving and christmas; that we eat and that she saves for me in a separate container because i rave about it so!

here it is:
1 cup butter
3/4 cup minced onion
1-1/2 cups chopped celery
1-1/2 tsp crushed sage leaf
1 tsp thyme
1 Tbsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
7 cups bread cubes
3 cups finely chopped apples
3/4 cup raisins

melt butter in a large skillet.  saute onion and celery until tender.  add seasonings.  add 3 cups of the bread crumbs and toss to coat evenly.  add rest of the bread cubes, chopped apples and raisins.  transfer to large casserole dish and bake for at least 30 minutes at 350.  savory goodness!

i love the art of cooking and trying new recipes.  next up?  mussels with fennel, orange and creme fraiche!
