Mom's Stuffing

 Ingredients 1 large loaf of bread (white works well), torn into pieces. 1/2 c milk 2-3 medium onions, chopped 2 eggs, beaten 1 tsp nutmeg (level) 1 tsp poultry seasoning 1 T butter, softened Salt and pepper to taste Instructions Add milk to bread.  Add onion, eggs, butter, and spices.  Mix well. Should be clumped together.  If it seems too dry (whole wheat tends to be drier), add more milk. Cooking Stuff in turkey and cook: not supposed to do this anymore for bacterial reasons.  Remove from turkey and store separately if you do it anyway (we never suffered for it). Casserole: cook at 350 for 45 minute? Compare with other recipes, this is just a guess.

Brussels sprouts with creamy mustard sauce

 Use a large pan such as a 12" skillet, and a saucier. 1 pound of Brussels sprouts, sliced with a 6mm blade  about 7 sandwich-thin slices of pancetta  1/2 cup heavy cream  1/4 cup (4T) stone ground Dijon mustard  salt and pepper  Saute the pancetta on medium-high (Duxtop 4.5) until crispy. Set aside, leaving the grease.  Add sliced sprouts to the pan with a dash of salt and pepper.  Cook for about 8 minutes on medium-high (Duxtop 5), stirring frequently, until they reach the preferred texture and are lightly seared. Melt a pat or two of extra butter into the pan if needed.  While cooking, heat the heavy cream to a simmer in a separate saucepan.  Remove from heat and stir in the mustard.  Crumble the pancetta into the sprouts, then stir in 2/3 of the sauce.  Transfer the mixture to a dish and top with the remainder of the sauce.
