Corn Bread Dressing

Recipe by: Ellen J. Barrier


1 Box of Stove Top Stuffing
 ( optional: seasoned, chicken, turkey)

Cooked corn bread
(1 medium size pan)
 Broth                      
(dripping from chicken or turkey)
 1- 2 packs of Lipton Cup of Soup
 1 cup  chopped green onions
 (3) chopped celery stalks
 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
 Black pepper (optional)
 Salt (optional)

Preparation:  Crumble corn bread in a large bowl, add  stove top stuffing (1 pack or less). The amount of corn bread crumbs should be about 3 times the amount of stove top stuffing. Make sure you  have enough broth to saturate your combined ingredients (to prevent the dressing from  being too dry). Add all of your ingredients on the recipe together, and bake in pan or glass dish, at 350 degrees in a heated oven. When the dressing is a light golden color, it should be removed from the oven. It can be served separate or placed in a turkey.

Note: Add the amount of ingredients as desired. It's best to allow your taste buds to make this judgment.

           Be sure to place the amount of dripping you have on hand to use, in a bowl first.
Then gradually add:              

         small amounts of corn bread and stove top stuffing.  If you don't have enough dripping from the meat, mix in some broth. Add broth from theses options: can broth,      

          broth in the box, or you can prepare your own, using Lipton Cup of Soup.

Banana Bread

Shared by: Tammy Barrier

1 ¾ c. all purpose flour

1 tsp. baking powder

¼ tsp. baking soda

¼ tsp salt

6 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened

2/3 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 cup mashed very ripe bananas (about 3 medium sizes)

¾ cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Position the rack in the center of the oven. Lightly butter an 8.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 inch loaf pan.

In a large bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and set aside for later. In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer on low speed beat the butter for 1 minute or until light and creamy. Add the sugar, about 2 Tbsp at a time, and when all of it has been added, continue to beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the beaters and the side of the bowl as needed. Add the eggs, 1 at a time beating for 10 seconds between additions or until absorbed by the butter. Scrape down the beaters and the sides of the bowl and continue to beat for 1 minute or until smooth and creamy. With a large rubber spatula, fold the sifted ingredients into the batter, in 3 additions, alternating with the mashed bananas, in 2 additions. Beat the batter with an electric mixer, on low speed, for about 1 minute or until smooth. Fold in the nuts and transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a rubber spatula.

Bake for 55 minutes to 1 hour or until a tester, inserted in the center, comes out dry. Cool the bread in the pan, on a wire rack for 15 minutes, the ease it out of the pan and cool it on a wire rack to room temperature.
