Rosie Makes Thanksgiving Stuffing.

Every year for Thanksgiving, Mr. Hawthorne buys a box of Stove Top Stuffing. He says the kids love it and he loves it. I despise it. The box of Stove Top is never used. I make a stuffing every year and I probably have 5 boxes of Stove Top Stuffing in my pantry. Like potato salad or cole slaw, everybody has a recipe for stuffing. I have no recipe. I'm just putting stuff together for stuffing and it's pretty darn good.

First, I tore a whole wheat baguette into pieces and sauteed it in butter along with some sage, oregano, and thyme. Pop into the oven to crisp.

Next, I cooked some sausage and added sliced mushrooms.

Celery and apples go into the mix.

Cook for about a minute. I like my celery crisp.

Add in the croutons.

Lastly, I added in some turkey stock. I loved the different textures. I loved the different tastes. I loved the flavors.

And guess what. No stuffing leftovers.

Yet another box of Stove Top Stuffing mush is added to my collection.
