Saying a Prayer for the Christmas Meal
Lee, A seven-year-old boy, was asked to say thanks for the Christmas dinner. The family members bowed their heads in expectation. Lee began his prayer, thanking God for his Mommy, Daddy, brothers, sister, Grandma, and all his aunts and uncles. Then he began to thank God for the food.
He gave thanks for the turkey, the stuffing, the Christmas pudding, even the cranberry sauce. Then Lee paused, and everyone waited … and waited. After a long silence, the young fellow looked up at his mother and asked, "If I thank God for the Brussels sprouts, won’t he know that I’m lying?"
Our Kitchen
One of the most common frustrations when we cook big meals is lack of space in the oven. Years ago Martys sister started using this recipe for crock pot stuffing for their family holiday meals. It has become their favorite and makes space for other delicious things in the oven.
Martys Crockpot Stuffing
- 1 ½ # loaf of white bread
- 2-3 t salt
- 1 T poultry seasoning
- dash pepper
- 1 ½ c butter
- 1 c diced onion
- 1 c diced celery
- 1 ½ c boiling water
Directions
Saute diced onion & celery in 2 T butter until tender. Add rest of butter in same pan and melt. Do Not Burn
In large bowl, tear up the bread into bite size pieces. Add salt, seasoning and pepper. Pour butter, onion/celery mixture over top, add boiling water, mix well.
Put in crock pot for 2 hours on high.
You’ll Love Your Garden … It’s Our Promise! May the Holy Spirit Guide You! God Bless Edward Knapton says Keep on Smiling!
