Traditions

Everyone has their own traditions for the holidays, but for Thanksgiving is all about the food!  Many famillies have the basic traditional foods for Thanksgiving like turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and rolls.  My family?  We like to put a twist on the tradional.  I discovered a surprisingly delicious twist to the tradional stuffing:

Apple Nut Stuffing
1/4 c. butter
1 c. chopped onion
1 c. chopped celery
6 c. toasted bread cubes
3 c. peeled, diced apples
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
1/4 c. raisins
1/2 c. apple cider
1 tsp. dried sage
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

Preheat your oven at 350.  Then melt butter in skillet and sautee the onions and celery until it is tender but not brown.  Transfer into a large bowl.
Add the bread cubes, apples, walnuts, raisins, cider and seasonings to the onion and celery mixture and mix well. 
Place in a baking dish.  cover and bake for about an hour and a half.

DELICIOUS!

What are some ways that you and your family put a twist on your Thanksgiving meal?
