Stuffing
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup crumbled day-old cornbread
- 1/2 cup cooked rice
- 1 hard boiled egg,chopped (I only use the egg white)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup chopped celery
- 2 T. chopped onion
- 2 T. butter
- 1 t. dried parsley
- 1/4 t. poultry seasoning
- Salt & pepper to taste
In a bowl, combine the first four ingredients; set aside. In a skillet,
saute celery and onion in butter until tender. Add the cornbread mixture
and seasonings; mix well. Cook over medium heat until lightly browned.

Note: I usually make up a pan of cornbread, crumble it up, and keep
it in a plastic storage bag in the fridge so I can whip this up quickly.

Irish
Soda Bread
Ingredients:
- 2-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbs. sugar
- 1-1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. salt
- 4 Tbs. butter (room temperature)
- 1 egg
- 1-1/4 cups buttermilk (room temperature)
Mix together all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Using your finger
tips, work the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles
bread crumbs. Beat the egg and buttermilk in a separate bowl, and gradually
add to the flour mixture. Mix with a spoon at first, and then by hand
or mixer when the dough becomes stiff. On a lightly floured work surface,
work the dough to thoroughly blend all the ingredients. Do not knead.
Sprinkle with flour if the dough should stick. Shape into a round ball
and pat the top down slightly, and place on a greased or non-stick baking
sheet. Cut a 1/2 in (1 cm) deep cross in the top using a sharp knife
or razor blade. Bake in 400F (200C) oven for about 45 minutes, or until
it has browned and the cuts have expanded. Remove from oven and cool
on a wire rack before slicing.
