Now, I know the holiday is over, but I wanted to share with you some recipes that I tried and were really fabulous! These would be great to pin for next year or for those who do the traditional Christmas dinner these will definetly be a welcomed addition.
The first was the Sweet Potatoes, yum!

Next, was the stuffing! Now you have to realize that we have a family recipe that has been around forever that we all love. So to say the least I was a little weary to try something new. The thing is this was a crockpot recipe and I love the idea of using my crockpot and not taking up oven space or having to keep something warm. And this recipe is very similar to my family recipe so I decided to give it a try.
I am so glad that I did! I really liked this stuffing, but I have to tell you that I did make some changes from this original recipe here. I did cut the milk in half. I also used Progesso's Tuscany chicken broth and, of course, I used Old Bay for my poultry seasoning. The most distinct change that I made, though, was to the cooking. I did cook it for 2 hours on high, but after an hour on low it just looked WAY to runny for my family's taste. So I pulled it out of the crockpot liner and put it into a baking dish. Then I just popped it into the oven with the sweet potatoes!
It browned up beautifully on top and firmed up wonderfully! Now, I must tell you that I truly love crockpot liners, but I do feel that thing have a tendency to just stay juicier in them. So my problem with the consistency could very well be just me. Either way, I was thrilled with the final product!
