Simple Cranberry and Toasted Walnut Stuffing
"This recipe was in the latest (Fall 2005) edition of Kraft What's cooking. It looks so tempting and is so easy to make. Prep time 5 minutes. Make your traditional stuffing and have this as a lighter side dish. I made this stuffing for Thanksgiving--made it in the morning and popped it in the oven 35 minutes (350°F) before serving--everyone raved about it"

Went to husband's work's Christmas Party a couple nights ago, at Duffy's Bar & Grill in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. They had a chicken stuffed with a stuffing mix, that I deemed stuffing with cranberries and walnuts. I went to their website, and it, in deed WAS a cranberry walnut stuffing. So I started searching for a recipe to make my own, for the kids to all get to try. I came across yours and after I buy the cranberries, and toast the walnuts, I will be making this!! Thank you for the recipe! I hope it turns out as good as everyone says it is! -
This was good. I wouldn't want it every time but it's a nice change from plain old stuffing. I ran across this on the Kraft web site and it says to just add the cranberries and walnuts after making the stuffing. I think I like it better this way. The cranberries get a chance to soften in the boiling water. I used corn bread stuffing mix. Thanks for the recipe. -
This was very tasty! I used whole wheat Stove Top and had exactly 1/2 cup dried cherries in the cupboard so used them instead of the cranberries. Left out the walnuts as I don't much care for nuts. Served with <a href="/90771">Baked Pork Chops and Apples</a>. Made a most excellent meal! Thanks for the recipe Bergy!

I counldn't resist this one either! However, I was out of boxed stuffing mix, so instead, I just ripped up about 5 cups of bread, and used a cup of chicken broth for in place of the water. It turned out beautifully.

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
