The Times Advocate, 2008-10-08, Page 11Wednesday, October 8, 2008 11 PPY1 ANKSGIVING Thanksgiving is a great time to enjoy family, food and fall hikes. Our family loves to share a `potluck' type dinner and we take advantage of one of Randy's sisters' farm where we can hike and browse through their pumpkin patch. It is always a great time! It has been a few years since I put the Crockpot Stuffing into the paper and it is one of those recipes that are just so handy! Be sure to give it a try. One of the most successful recipes I have put in has been the Pumpkin Dump Cake and wanted to include it for Thanksgiving as well as if you neglected to try it last year this may be your year! Enjoy and have aThankful Weekend! CROCK POT STUFFING This is another prepare ahead recipe that leaves the stuffing out of your last minute prep! This has been a faithful recipe down through the years that my mom passed on to me. You can adjust the seasonings as you like or get adventurous and add some extra fixings like apple, cranberries, pecans, raisins, and/or even substitute apple juice for a bit of the broth. Just remember to keep the stuffing moist and stirred regularly. Stale bread cubed (a mix of white and brown is nice) 2 onions chopped 2 celery ribs chopped fine 2 TBSP butter or margarine Sage, salt, black pepper and a pinch of ginger 10 oz can of cream of celery soup 3 pkgs of chicken bouillon dissolved in 1/2 cup water Fry the onion and celery in the butter till limp. Mix the spices, bread and soup with the above and add the liquid. This should be nice and moist. Add more water if needed. Put into a greased crock pot and cook on low 5-6 hours, stirring regularly. At the end when your turkey or chicken is done you can add a bit of the broth for added flavor. PUMPKIN DUMP CAKE Lots of people that taste this dessert want the recipe! Some have been so ready for the recipe that they take my copy and hand write it out immediately. It is a winning recipe I got in a collection from other diners' cooks. I first made it for the diner's in Exeter and it even graced the Christmas Dinner for our senior's programs! You must try this one if you like pumpkin! Mix together: 1 29 oz can pumpkin 1 12 oz can evaporated milk 3 eggs 3 tsp cinnamon 1 cup white sugar Put the mixture in a greased 9 by 13 inch pan and then sprinkle one yellow cake mix over the mixture. Sprinkle with about 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans. Pour 3/4 cup melted margarine over top and Bake at 350 for 50 minutes. AMAZINGLY GOOD!
