Made this for our Canadian Thanksgiving earlier this month - we loved it. I am betting this is an old family recipe!! It is so like one I have been making for years and have never put to paper. The ingredients go together to make for a wonderful dressing. Suspecting there would be no left overs I did make a roll in foil and set it in the back of the fridge for turkey sandwiches the next day. It once again got raves. We do the dressing in the pan and then stuff too. Thank you - family will appreciate having a printed recipe.

My family doesnt cook the ingredients first; mixed well,it cooks perfectly in the chicken. We also include a large chopped red delicious apple, skin included, and add salt and pepper. A few pepitas and some paprika add an extra yum factor. As a vegetarian I keep trying to replicate this wonderful recipe without the chicken; havent succeeded yet. I miss it.

We fled the big city of Vancouver to move to a very small Gulf island on the west coast of BC. We spent more than a decade restoring a Victorian cottage, which we traded for a small house & a large yard. I share my life with DH who is affectionately known as Pencil Boy (retired draftsman). We spend our days working on our house & garden, eating good food & drinking as good of wine as our retired budget can afford. Our motto is: A small house A large garden A few good friends Many good books
