Crock Pot Cornbread Dressing

This is a recipe that has been passed around in my mom's family. This recipe originally came from one of my aunts, but my grandma, mom and many others have made it. I've been making it for years and it is DEE-LISH-OUS!!

I love that you can prep for it ahead of time (make the cornbread several days ahead, just freeze it ..chop up your veggies ahead ...make my fave homemade cream soup, so much better than canned) and then it can just do its thing in the crock pot while you do other needed things. Easy peasy!!

You can even add boiled chicken or turkey for a total meal package:)

You simply must try it this holiday season--I think you'll love it!!

Crock Pot Cornbread Dressing
(Aunt Oma Lee)

8" pan of cornbread (this is my fave recipe)

8 slices of day-old white sandwich bread

4 eggs

1 medium onion, chopped

3 stalks celery, chopped

2 cans cream of chicken soup OR a double recipe of this homemade cream soup

2 cans chicken broth OR 29 oz. homemade chicken stock (the best!)

1-1/2 Tbsp. dried sage (McCormick's Rubbed Dalmatian Sage is my fave!)

1 tsp. kosher salt

1/.2 tsp. black pepper

3 Tbsp. butter, cut into 7 pats

*****

Crumble the cornbread and tear the slices of bread into small pieces into a crock pot.

Add all other ingredients except the butter. Stir mixture well. Then dot the top of

mixture with the butter pats. Put lid on and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours

or on HIGH for about 2 hours--or until the mixture has reached the desired

consistency and has browned on top. Makes about sixteen 6-oz. servings.

The Reading Game: A Review

I was excited to receive this review product recently, thinking my 1st-grade-son could really benefit and enjoy it a lot. And I was right! He is having so much fun with this game. The Reading Game is a fast-paced memory card game using words. The game comes with 6 sets of memory cards with 6 corresponding readers. The idea is for you and your student to play memory with each set of cards (playing 6 rounds with each set), after every 2 rounds your student then reads 2 test sentences to see how he is retaining the new words he is learning. After the whole set has been played, he is then ready to read the corresponding reader...and has learned 30 new words! By the time your student has played every set of cards and read every reader, he will have learned 180 words. Of the 25 most common English words, 23 are on that list; of the 50 most common words, 42 are on that list. So this little game of reading really does prepare your student well. The readers are illustrated with cute ...

The Making of an Egyptian Death Mask

We are learning all about the ancient world this year with Story of the World I and loving it! We've been learning a lot about Egypt, of course, which is completely fascinating. Most recently we have studied the New Kingdom of Egypt, which includes the story of King Tut. So we decided making an Egyptian death mask in the style of King Tut's would be a fun project. First since it was too cold at the time to paper mache in the garage (it probably would have frozen instead of dried-ha) and it was too messy to do it in the house, we decided to pick up a couple of cheap craft masks at Hobby Lobby. Next we cut out cardboard shapes to complete the shape of the death mask, attaching them with hot glue. Vince even put a little detail on the *beard* with the hot glue per The Princess' request. Then the kiddos started to paint them with this metallic gold tempera paint. It worked okay for the cardboard, but would not coat the plastic of the mask. We thought maybe a second coat ...

Door Hanger Chore Charts

My kids have had a chore chart for a while. It's one of those magnetic boards and they share it. However, it's not by their rooms and often they (and I) forget to update it. Plus it's a little bulky. When I saw the concept of a door hanger chore chart on Pinterest, I loved it! It was compact, right there were the kiddos could see it coming out and going into their rooms, and it costs almost nothing to make. I headed over to one of my favorite stores: Hobby Lobby, of course. They have these little wooden door hangers for .79. I also grabbed a couple of packets of decorative buttons for $1.99 each. I already had the clothes pins and the paint so those cost me nothing. I began by painting the door hangers (I used tempera paints because that's what I had). Then I grabbed a fine point Sharpie and the clothes pins and started writing chores on them, making sure to write them correctly so they will ...
