Delicious Dressing

2 apples, diced, peeled, and cored. Usually use sweet apple, like a granny smith or braeburn.
½ pound of sausage....like the kind you buy in a circle tube with sage.
½ cup of onions chopped up.
1 tsp. Of garlic minced.
¼ cup of pinenuts.
½ cup of parsley chopped.
1 bag of Pepperidge farm stuffing mix....herb seasoned stuffing by pepperidge farm, blue bag, kind of in crumbs.
2 tsp. Of fresh sage chopped, or buy sausage with sage. (Can omit this if you get the sage sausage)
2 cups of chicken broth.
1 egg beaten.

Brown sausage and drain the fat off of it, add onion and garlic, and cook until it is kind of soft, not very long. Add apples, and keep stirring. Then add bread crumbs, salt and pepper a few shakes, add pinenuts, parsley, and the egg. Then add the chicken broth, and mix it up in a big sauce pan.

It should be kind of squishy, or add some more chicken broth. Sometimes you need to add more chicken broth to make sure that all the breadcrumbs are moist. It should be a little bit stiffer than cake batter.

Have the heat turned off while mixing everything up. Once it is all mixed, transfer it.

Bake for 45 minutes to an hour at 350. Bake in 9 x 13 glass baking dish or a 9 x 13 aluminum dish.

Easy Pumpkin Pie

I made this pumpkin pie the other day, it was so easy, it seriously only took about 10 minutes. Making the crust took a few minutes, but the pie part was a since.

Here it is: It is also awesome!

1 9 inch unbaked pie crust (If you make it yourself, I just used the Betty Crocker cookbook recipe that can be found on the internet)
1 can 15 oz. pumpkin
1 can sweeten condensed milk
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla and cinnamon extract
1/2 tsp. nutmeg, salt, and ground ginger

Preheat oven to 425. In a large bowl, beat all ingredients together with a whisk or mixer. Pour into pie crust and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and bake for 35-45 minutes longer. Cool before serving.
