Dressing?

This is the one I made last year, and it was a big hit with the whole family. Sadie Katie - you get dressing AND cranberries in this one!

Wild Rice Dressing
From Real Simple

1 32-ounce container low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup wild rice
1 1/4 brown rice
1 stick unsalted butter, plus more for the dish
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
3 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh sage, finely chopped
1 cup pecans, finely chopped
1 cup dried apricots or cranberries, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Heat oven to 350° F.

In a pot, over medium-high heat, bring the broth and 2 cups water to a boil. Add the wild rice and brown rice, reduce heat to low, and cover. Simmer until tender, about 45 minutes.

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and celery and cook for 10 minutes. Add the cooked rice, parsley, sage, pecans, apricots or cranberries, salt, and pepper and toss. Transfer to a buttered casserole. Cover and bake for 25 minutes.

In Advance: Assemble the dressing but do not bake it. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Bake as directed, adding 10 minutes to the baking time.

Yield: Makes 6 to 8 servings

Sounds yummy until I get to the SAGE!

I love the smell of sage in the high desert, but in food! Blech!

Otherwise, it does sound good.

I can't make it through the day without the word fix and it is supper at my house- We only eat dinner on Sundays and holidays.

When I was married to someone else, in Central Arkansas, dinner was the midday meal. Supper was the light meal you had after you got home from work.

Dinner on Sundays was always at midday, too, because we went back to church around 5 o'clock in the evening.

I think the dinner/supper thing goes back to farming. The farmer ate a big mid-day meal for the energy to get his work done.
