What's cooking Wednesday

“This is the day the Lord has made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
Psalm 118:24
So, as you may have noticed, my recent posts have been revolving around the upcoming Holiday, Thanksgiving. I will be sticking to the theme today, posting recipes you can use for your Thanksgiving meal.

1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

NOTE: To make Corn Bread Stuffing, you can substitute corn
bread cubes for the soft bread cubes.
Whole Cranberry sauce
Ingredients:
1 cup water
1/2 lb. fresh cranberries
1 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 tsp. grated orange rind
Directions:
In a saucepan, boil water and sugar for 5 minutes, stirring until sugar dissolves.
Add washed cranberries; reduce heat and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes,
without stirring. Add orange rind.
Cool to set; store in refrigerator.
Makes about 2 cups.
Perfect Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered length-wise
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 Tbsp heavy cream
2 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp milk
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and Pepper
Directions:
Put potatoes into a saucepan. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add water until potatoes are covered. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, 15-20 minutes,
or until done - a fork can easily be poked through them.
Warm cream and melt butter, together, either in microwave or in a pan on the stove. Drain water from potatoes. Put hot potatoes into a bowl. Add cream and melted butter. Use potato masher to mash potatoes until well mashed. Mix in cheese and onion powder. Use a strong spoon to beat further, adding milk to achieve the consistency you desire. (Do not over-beat or your potatoes will get gluey.) Salt and pepper to taste.
Serves 4.
I hope that one (or more) of these recipes sound good to you.
I can't wait to see what you're cooking!
