| Oyster - Mushroom Stuffing |
| This is a combination of my mom's, and what my hubby likes! He was raised with pimiento in the dressing, and I wasn't... but its a small concession for such a sweet man! If you don't like them omit them.... if you really like them, leave them! I don't always have the oysters, so I substitute ! lb, cooked, crumbled sage or itallian sausage and omit the old bay seasoning. If you don't have piementos, add red bell pepper. |
