Apple Sausage Stuffing

I know I missed the mark on posting this before Thanksgiving but does stuffing season really end until after Christmas? Nope. We don't eat stuffing year round but from mid-November to December 25th it is our thang. And my apple sausage stuffing is the delicious, no one will be disappointed.

Ingredients:
1 sweet or yellow onion
2 apples (I like honey crisp)
1 cup chopped celery
1 lb. ground Italian sausage (or sage sausage)
1 bag plain stuffing mix (not stove top, you just need the croutons in it)
Sage
Thyme
Basil
Garlic
Salt and Pepper
Chicken broth
1 egg

Step 1:

1 cup diced celery

1 diced yellow onion

2 diced apples

Step 2:

Brown sausage, then set aside to drain

In a sauce pan saute onion, apples, and celery with a little chicken broth

Season with salt and pepper and garlic powder

Once the veggies/fruit are softened and carmelized add the cooked sausage

Step 3:

Add one bag of stuffing croutons to the mixture in a large bowl, add about 1 cup to 2 cups of chicken broth to the mix (depending on how dry or, dare I say, moist you like your stuffing)

Seasoning with Thyme, sage, and basil (let's say a teaspoon of each)

I'll also add a bit more salt and garlic at this point.

Step 4:

Add one egg to the mixture. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. You can also make this ahead of time and bake the day of.

There Is Enough Time

When I became a new mom of two, my mom gifted me a book she read when she became a mom called 'There is Enough Time.' It was really old, an "original." It was written in the fifties is what I'm saying. I read most of it and nodded my head in a agreement a few times but mostly, it felt so irrelevant. Raising kids in the 50's was very different than it is now. But here's what I've noticed since I've been holed up with my kids for the last two weeks (yep, tonight is my 14 day mark), there is enough time. It's been forced upon us, yes. Something we Americans don't like - how dare the government tell us what to do? (gasp!) - it's like we got grounded because the neighborhood bully got us in trouble. But when all the "fun stuff" got canceled - the sports, the plays, the parties, the people - we were forced to reevaluate our days. It turns out, when you have nowhere to go there is enough time. Enough time to dance, to go on fam...

20 Meals for $200

Good Evening! World's worst blogger here. (Seriously. I will never be consistent here, folks.) But I have some meal prepping for you: 20 meals for less than $200. I'm not sure the exact amount because I bought groceries for the week and a year's supply of baking ingredients (for all the Christmas goodies) and frankly, I don't want to do the math. But it's definitely in the just under $200 ball park. Let's get started... Menu | Simple Spaghetti & Meatballs Tuscan Chicken Cajun Smoked Sausage & Rice Pulled Pork Pork Tacos Teriyaki Salmon Vegetarian Chili Chuck Roast Winger's Chicken and Waffles Southwest Chicken Y'all. These are the most simple meals to throw together. Because Christmas. And I'm not going to busy myself being extra when I want to enjoy the holidays. It took me about an hour. Grocery List | 2 packages of spaghetti noodles 2 packages of rigatoni 1-2 cartons of broth (this is to add to the meals when cookin...
