LOL Bill......that's a Christmas recipe and believe me, your IN this year. I've bought OVER 15 POUNDS of bulk popcorn over the past 2 weeks, 20 lbs of brown sugar and 15 lbs of butter in anticipation of the GREAT CARAMEL CORN Extraviganza

Now.....here's a old family recipe that YES....was featured on The Weather Channel 3 years ago.

Tomato Shrimp Aspic

2 cans of small shrimp
2 cups of tomato juice
1 lrg. box of lemon Jello
1/2 tsp of lemon juice
1 bunch green onions, cleaned and diced
Salt and pepper to taste

Bring the 2 cups of tomato juice to a "low boil"......pour over the lemon Jello and stir until disolved. Stir in the shrimp and green onions, salt and pepper to taste. Cool at least 12 hours before serving.

This is an OLD recipe and it complements turkey like you wouldn't BELIEVE

This is one dinner that is a cinch to make. No fancy dishes here.....this year my 10th Grade daughter Laura is making the entire dinner, with her dad's assistance. She needs cooking hours for her Nutrition class. So all I have to do is clean, iron a tablecloth, polish the silver (kidding), etc. And oh yeah, finish painting my dining room!!!! LOL

One thing I no longer do though is put the dressing in the turkey. That just flat-out grosses me out, in fact I can't stand to eat it in someone's home if it's been inside the bird. Ever since they recommended you stuff it right before it goes in the oven, I've never been able to trust other cooks follow this suggestion. And here, it does get made but is put into a casserole and heated before dinner.

Same here, Mary. In fact, I'm going to try a recipe that I read in Southern Living for cornbread dressing in a crock pot. If it's good, I'll reprint it in the Community Forum.

Squash Casserole

2 cups cooked mashed yellow squash (I like a more squash to cracker ratio, so I use less cracker crumbs and more squash)
2 cups Ritz Cracker crumbs
1 cup evaporated mile
1 cups shredded cheese, such as Cheddar or Swiss (I use both)
I cup chopped onion
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
Pinch of sugar
6 tablespoons butter

Place the squash in a large bow. Add the cracker crumbs, milk, cheese, and onion, stir well. Stir in the eggs, salt, pepper, sugar, and butter, and pour into a greased 1-quart casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Serves 4

mixture as needed

THanks!!!

[brunota2003]

Here's one, havent tryed it yet for obvious reasons

Here is a turkey recipe that also includes the use of popcorn as a stuffing -imagine that. When I found this recipe, I thought it was perfect for people like me, who just are not sure how to tell when poultry is thoroughly cooked, but not dried out. Give this a try.


10-12 lb. Turkey
1 cup melted butter
1 bag stuffing (Pepperidge Farm is good.)
1 cup uncooked popcorn (ORVILLE REDENBACHER'S LOW FAT) Salt/pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush turkey well with melted butter, salt, and pepper. Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn. Place in baking pan with the neck end toward the back of the oven. Listen for the popping sounds.

When the turkey's a** blows the oven door open and the bird flies across the room, it's done.

And you thought I couldn't cook...

I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food...

[arkess7]

OMG!!! That is hilarous!!!!!!!!
