Holiday
time, one is which our family gathers in the kitchen and shares favorite
recipes with no worry about calories! For a least a couple of meals, we relish
in the thought of making recipes rich in satiety! While balance is still
important recipes provided include a tasty sage sausage dressing, spinach
casserole and a seven layer cookie to wet the palate! We have made our
suggestions however feel free to change according to what you like. You might find something similar online as well.
Remember to
get outside for a healthy walk after downing such delectable delights! Wishing
you and yours a joyous holiday season!
Sage Sausage
Dressing
2
bags of Pepperidge Farm Herb 1 16 oz. Jimmy Dean Sage Sausage
1 cup chopped celery

1 stick butter
1 can chicken broth or juice from cooked turkey neck
In large bowl, mix dry ingredients.
In pan melt butter, sauté onion and celery. Add to dry ingredients. Pour over
it 1/2 can of broth and mix well. Dressing needs to be very moist so add more
if necessary. Pour into well-greased large baking dish 9 x 13. Dot with extra
butter and bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour or until edges and top are well
browned. Goes great with the ham and/or turkey you have just roasted, or just
by itself!
Spinach Casserole

the spinach. Drain it. Then add the cans of broccoli soup with the softened
logs of cream cheese. Pour the mixture into a 9 x 13 baking pan. Cook at 375 degrees

1 16 oz. bag of chopped walnuts
Melt
the butter in a 9 x 13 baking pan. Pour the Graham Cracker Crumbs in the base
of the pan. Pat down to build a solid base for your cookies. Add the third
layer of coconut to give the cookie consistency. Add the fourth layer of butterscotch
morsels. Can we say chocolate anyone—with the fifth layer being the Nestle chocolate
morsels. The next layer is chopped walnuts. Make sure your ingredients are
evenly spaced. The final layer is to add the Borden’s condensed milk. Place in
the oven at 350 degrees until golden brown approximately 25-30 minutes. Feel
free to change the ingredients to suit your liking, e.g., nuts, morsels.
