mushrooms, challah, stuffing, dressing, ThanksgivingWell Thanksgiving is only a week away- are you ready?

mushroom, challah, dressing, stuffing, ThanksgivingI’m ready. If by ready you mean I have a fridge full of mimosa supplies and made a mental note of how many miles I will have to run to negate all the mashed potatoes I plan to eat.

    I looked at the recipe and began to salivate! I have not used eggs in my dressing before. I wonder if I should add them to my regular recipe? I have not used challah before either. I’ll bet it is the best!!!

      Thanks, Gloria! Eggs just make it a little more custardy. And challah is the best for sure. Happy Thanksgiving!

Shalom! I’m Amy Kritzer Becker and welcome to What Jew Wanna Eat! Your source for home cooked (sometimes) kosher goodness. I have always enjoyed cooking and baking, but needed a new goal, a challenge, to get back to my culinary roots. So, I called up Bubbe Eleanor and pleaded for her to send me her best recipes. Stat!
