Many thanks for all the great ideas and my mouth is watering already! Printed out all these recipes, Beach Runner and Destin Dreamin'. Tomorrow, I will log on with my favorite cranberry sauce, which is made with Grand Marnier and is also quite good with roast pork. It's best if made several days in advance of the big day. Oh, and the best bread pudding recipe ever is in Paul Prudhomme's cookbook, New Orleans Bread Pudding with Bourbon Sauce and Chantilly Cream. Makes you wanna slap yo mama! :funn:
JohnRudy, I can relate to your missing ingredient story. My grandmother was a marvelous cook and refused to write recipes down. She has been gone for 40 years and we're still trying to recreate her double-crust chicken pie with dumplings. But look for Bell's Poultry Seasoning at your supermarket. Many women of that generation used it (I do, too.) and it makes a very noticeable difference in bird stuffing and dressings. It is in a little yellow paper box, in the spices section. Good luck!

Honey, I know. My mom's side of the family is from the Tyler area, and my sister lives in Irving.CastlesOfSand said:
But my Uncle Dick says that Texans don't put beans in their chili and don't use ground meat in it. I dunno.
I can't speak for the rest of Texas.. but I always add those beans to my chili!!! I use ground meat or cubed sirloin depending on the recipe. It's all good! 
That "PIE" looks yummy! I don't have to search for any new recipes for the holidays now!!! I already have them!! Thanks so much for making my life a little easier! :clap_1:

Me too, CoS. I cooked in a chili cookoff once in Luckenbach and they say it's not chili if you add beans, but personally, I LIKE beans and the cubed sirloin. (I did not win the cookoff
)

As the MIT employee used to say to my daughter, "You wack 'em!" What she meant was, "You're welcome!"CastlesOfSand said:I can't speak for the rest of Texas.. but I always add those beans to my chili!!! I use ground meat or cubed sirloin depending on the recipe. It's all good!
