On Monday, my stove quit. This Cranberry Sourdough Stuffing was the last thing I cooked on it before it shut down. Okay, first of all, some background. My stove is an oven and range all-in-one unit. It has been giving me grief for 6 years. I can go about 5 baking sessions before the oven beeps…

Eggnog Frothed Milk
Eggnog is Reuben’s favorite thing to drink. He usually doesn’t get super excited (at least on the outside) about food, but I can tell that he is thrilled when eggnog starts appearing in the stores in November. If I were a really good wifey, I would make him some of my delicious homemade eggnog so…

A simple sage stuffing (AKA dressing) recipe for Thanksgiving that tastes better than the boxed version! This post, entitled Simple Sage Stuffing/Dressing from Scratch, was originally published on November 19, 2012 on Cooking for Seven.
