"Dressed Up" Stuffing
I bought a box of stuffing to go with our turkey dinner this year...I decided to add in some extras to make it special. I removed the neck & giblets packet from my turkey and placed in a sauce pan with 2 cups of chicken stock. Simmered it for 20 minutes, discarded the neck, and chopped up the giblets & liver, add back into saucepan of broth. I sauteed some diced celery & onions with butter, then added it to the saucepan too. You could add cremini mushrooms too for a really special treat! Add in the box of stuffing and a bit of sage. If it gets dry just add some more stock. If it's too wet, keep it on the heat until it's to your liking! This was our best stuffing yet!

Brine Recipe for Turkey
This makes the juiciest turkey ever!!
2 gallons of cold water or 1 1/2 gallons plus ice.
1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 Tbs each of Rosemary, Thyme, and Sage
Put water/ice mixture into a cooler that will fit your turkey, IGLOO coolers work great or we use our turkey frying pot. Mix salt, sugar, and herbs in bowl with some water to dissolve. Then add to water. Place turkey in brine for 12-24 hours before roasting.
When ready to cook, drain turkey, pat dry, cook as you normally would. This seemed like a pain the first time, but the results were soooo yummy that it is worth it!!!

Best chip I've ever had!!!
Last night I roasted some kale...it was the best crunchy snack I have ever had!!! Now, I do love most veggies when they are roasted, but this was simply delicious! If you crave salty, crunchy snacks...this is for you! I bought almost a pound of kale for 89cents! So inexpensive and SOOOO nutrient rich.
To make KALE CHIPS:
kale
olive oil
sea salt
Cut away rough stalks from kale. Evenly spread the curly leaves onto a large cookie sheet, in a single layer (do not crowd pan or they will steam) and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt or whatever seasonings you like. Salt lightly, as you can always add more at the end. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, keep checking for desired doneness, I cooked mine longer because I like extra crispy, almost burned! I heard that you can keep them in an airtight container for a week or longer and they stay crunchy, I personally wouldn't know because mine NEVER last that long!! Sometimes they don't even make them into a bowl...I munch them right off the baking sheet!

Perfect Dinner for Halloween Night
Both kids love to make jack-0-cheese pizzas. We make them with whole wheat tortillas, i let them paint on the pizza sauce, sprinkle cheese, and then cut out pepperoni eyes & nose...usually we use black olives too!
We make mexican ones the same way but replace the pizza sauce with refried beans, then add the cheese, and black beans & olives.
Every year before, I've made a pot of potato soup...just add some green food coloring to make it creepy...this year the kids voted for the pizza because we made them on pumpkin carving night and they loved them so much!
