GRANDMA DOT'S STUFFING BALLS



Grandma Dot's Stuffing Balls image

This is my must-have recipe for Thanksgiving, passed down to me by my grandmother. These delicious stuffing balls are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. She always used white bread for this recipe, but I like to use a nutty whole wheat bread for a little extra flavor.

AUNT EMMA'S BREAD PUDDING



Aunt Emma's Bread Pudding image

My Aunt Emma made the best bread pudding I've ever had. She passed away about 5 years ago and I just ran across a copy of her recipe in my recipe box. Thought I'd share it with you. The brown sugar melts as it bakes on top so it kind of has a caramelized sauce built in. Crumble the brown sugar over the top between your fingers so it doesn't all sink.

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 9 x 13 inch pan, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 loaf white bread (regular size as opposed to Jumbo or family size)
1 quart milk
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup white sugar
4 eggs
3 tablespoons vanilla
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • Break the bread into small chunks in a large bowl.
  • Add the white sugar and melted butter and stir.
  • Add the eggs one at a time alternately with the milk stirring well so that each egg is incorporated before adding the next one until all the eggs and milk are used.
  • Stir in the vanilla and raisins.
  • Pour into a greased lasagna pan or a 13x9" inch pan.
  • (sometimes the 13x9 tends to get over full depending on the particular loaf of bread).
  • Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly across the top of bread mixture.
  • Bake in a preheated 350* oven for 1 hour.
  • Let cool 20 to 30 minutes as pudding will set firmer as it cools.
  • Can be served warm or chilled.

GREAT-AUNT NINA'S NOODLES AND CHICKEN



Great-Aunt Nina's Noodles and Chicken image

To a slow cooker chicken, I added an old family noodle recipe. If you want it to be more like a soup, add another quart of broth. This was a fixture at family reunions when I was a child, and the slow cooker makes it even easier.

Time 8h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 carrots, sliced
2 onions, sliced
2 stalks celery, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 (4 pound) whole chicken
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup white wine
¼ teaspoon dried basil
2 eggs, beaten
¼ cup water
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons shortening
1 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
2 quarts low salt chicken broth

Steps:

  • Place the carrots, onions and celery in the bottom of a slow cooker. Place the whole chicken on top of the vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Pour in the white wine and sprinkle basil over the top. Cover and cook on Low setting for 8 to 10 hours.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the eggs, water, salt, shortening and flour to form a stiff dough. After I've mixed in as much flour as possible using a fork, I knead the dough with my hand in the bowl to incorporate as much flour as possible. Let the dough rest for a few minutes.
  • Roll the dough out on a well-greased board to 1/8 inch thickness. Use a pizza cutter or pie crust cutter to cut into strips about 1/2 inch wide and 3 inches long. Dust lightly with flour, and leave to dry for a few hours while the chicken cooks.
  • When the chicken is done, remove the meat and vegetables to a platter. Transfer the juices to a large pot and stir in 2 quarts of chicken broth. Bring to a boil and add the noodles. Cook for about 10 minutes, until tender. Meanwhile, remove the meat from the chicken and shred. Discard bones and skin. When the noodles are done, return the vegetables to the pot and add shredded chicken meat. Serve.

AUNT NINA'S BREAD BALLS AND SAUCE



Aunt Nina's bread balls and sauce image

this recipe is for meatless meatballs, which are prepared in much the same way as meatballs, just with different ingredients. Bread crumbs, eggs, cheese, and herbs are combined and rolled into balls, which are then browned and simmered in a tomato sauce. This idea can be traced, not surprisingly, to Italy, were similar recipes...

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 cup water.
one large egg.
three garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or 3/4 teaspoon dried
1/4 teaspoon pepper
one loaf italian bread, torn into small pieces, 16 ounces
1 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese
6 tablespoons olive oil
sauce:
one onion, minced
salt
two cans tomato paste, 6 ounces each
1 tablespoon sugar
three garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
pepper
2 cups water
one can diced tomatoes, 28 ounces
one can tomato sauce, 15 ounces
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • 1. for the bread balls: whisk the water, egg, garlic, parsley, basil, and pepper together in a large bowl. Add the bread and cheese and mix with your hands until well combined. With wet hands, form the mixture into 1 1/2 inch bread balls. You should have about 30 bread balls.
  • 2. Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add half of the bread balls and cook until well browned on the first side, two to four minutes. Do not move the bread balls until they are well browned on the first side. Continue to cook until they are well browned on all sides, about five minutes longer, turning as needed. Transfer the bread balls to a bowl. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pot and return it to medium heat until the oil is shimmering. Repeat with remaining bread balls.
  • 3. For the sauce: pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the oil from the pot and return to medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoons salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, sugar, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook until the tomato paste begins to Brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the water, tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for one hour.
  • 4. Return the bread balls to the pot, cover and continue to simmer until the sauce is thickened slightly and the bread balls are tender, about 30 minutes longer. Off the heat, stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve, sprinkling each portion with Parmesan and basil.
