Night before we:
baked cornbread for stuffing and made the jello salad.
Next year perhaps start Septienne rolls the night before.


Cornbread Stuffing
For Cornbread, I doubled the Fanny Farmer recipe.
The 9x13 green glass casserole dish is too small for a double recipe--next time look for 128 sq inches of surface area.

Wheat Rolls

I picked this recipe this morning.  The white/wheat mix, eggs and butter, without potato flakes or weirdness, looks like what I remember of my mother's recipe.

Cranberry Sauce

Should have heeded warning about cutting sugar.  I made our sauce as stated--4 cups cranberries, 1 cup sugar--and it's too sweet.
