Life on a family farm

I got out of milking early yesterday
To cook dinner. The chicken came from a local farmer, (and lucky me, I have four more).....it was cooked in a turkey bag with lots of carrots, potatoes, an onion and a couple cloves of garlic I grew last summer. Oh, and a dash of Mrs. Dash and a sprinkle of Italian herbs.
And if you have chicken, then you must, of course, have a big bowl of dressing. This was made with all the little odds and ends of stale bread left in the bottom of bread bags. There was an amazing number of them with the kids all home. Usually the doggies get them for a little treat or they go over to the pigs, but this time they found better use....plus I added a whole loaf of oat nut bread, since that was all we had. Interesting texture using that instead of white. Lots of crunchy little oats in there. Also of course, six large onions and most of a head of celery sauteed in butter and seasoned with Morton's Sausage seasoning. We bought several jars of that about ten years ago to flavor some sausage...then the butcher used his own instead so we ended up using it all these years for stuffing...which worked out quite well, since we changed to a butcher we like a lot better and we love the sausage seasoning for our stuffing.
I hope that like us you have lots of leftovers so you can make interesting things like chicken pot pie...
That looks like the dressing my mother used to make. Any chance of a recipe or letting me know how you put all the ingredients together? My mother is not able to give out that kind of information anymore. (e-mail dgugler@gmail.com)
That looks wonderful! I love that sausage seasoning. It gives everything a nice sausagey taste. I like to put it in ground turkey for low/no fat snausages.
OH my goodness that looks like home to me! I love carrots, potato's and onions cooked like that. We are going to put in a raised bed garden this spring. I can't wait to grow my own vegies! love your blog. peace
Thanks, Tim, and thanks for stopping by! I like raised beds best myself, although I don't have any good ones right now. We moved up here not too many years ago from town and left behind years worth of building them.,
