I would like to share my turkey dressing recipe that everyone in my family loves. It goes with a turkey that is at least 12 to 15 lbs. Melt 3/4 to half a pound of butter add one diced onion, 2-3 stalks of Celery. When butter is melted add 2 tbsp. of ground sage. 1 tbsp. of dried oregano. 1 Tbsp. of dried basil. Then 1 Tbsp. of ground Thyme. Nest a 1/4 tsp. of pepper and 1/4 tsp. spoon of table salt. Some still like to add Poultry seasoning therefore I would call for 1 tbsp. Simmer until the onion and celery are slightly tender otherwise it will turn to mush once it has been baked inside the turkey. It's the sage and thyme that really makes the dressing taste delicious. Then of course add one to one and half loaves of bread cut into quarter sized pieces. Mix butter mixture a little at a time. I also know that Americans will soon be celebrating their Thanksgiving, so I thought I would start posting this in the forum before that holiday comes. Best regards. I do hope that others share their favorite recipes. ...

This is good Christmas cake.
I put in less sugar, and like to add dried mango and cranberries to the fruit mix.
And don't be mean with the brandy!

My parents got me into these. They would make these cakes at the holidays to eat and to give as gifts to neighbors and to the mailman and the trash pickup guys. One time when I was visiting for Christmas we made 11 of these cakes in two days. I was looking for the recipe card and found the exact recipe here.

Blueberries grow wild everywhere between June-Sept. I gather them and then save them to make this "pie", which is considered a Summer thing, but I love it too much to not have it for Winter. (NOTE: Autumn lingonberries are a perfect substitute if they grow where you live. They are the same flavour.)
