Peppermint Meringues

Rated: 5 STAR

Lana's comments: These are so easy and so economical in a very tight economy and with
tight grocery budgets..They are delicious, light and airy. The colors are great for the holidays.
Just as nice with other dry toppings and nuts~!

Ingredients:
2 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar 1/2 cup white sugar
2 peppermint candy canes,
crushed

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Line 2 cookie sheets with foil.
2. In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar to soft peaks. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until whites form stiff peaks. Drop by spoonfuls 1 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Sprinkle crushed peppermint candy over the cookies.
3. Bake for 1 1/2 hours in preheated oven. Meringues should be completely dry on the inside. Do not allow them to brown. Turn off oven. Keep oven door ajar, and let meringues sit in the oven until completely cool. Loosen from foil with metal spatula. Store loosely covered in cool dry place for up to 2 months.

Folks, in the spirit of the coming (seasons) here is a wonderful
Southern cornbread dressing for you.

I make about half of this for J and I.

Cornbread Dressing

Ingredients
1 cup butter or margarine, divided
3 cups self-rising white cornmeal mix
1 cup all-purpose flour
6 large eggs, divided
3 cups buttermilk
3 cups soft, white breadcrumbs
1 large sweet onions, diced
4 celery ribs, diced
1/8 cup finely chopped fresh sage (or use 1 tsp.dry)
1/8 cup finely chopped fresh parsley (or use 2 tsp.dry)
1 teaspoon pepper
7 cups chicken broth
Preparation
Place 1/2 cup butter in a 13- x 9-inch pan; heat in oven at 425° for 4 minutes.

Stir together cornmeal and flour; whisk in 3 eggs and buttermilk.

Pour hot butter into batter, and stir until blended. Pour batter into pan.

Bake at 425° for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool. Crumble cornbread into a large bowl; stir in breadcrumbs, and set aside.

Melt remaining 1/2 cup butter in a skillet over medium heat; add onions and celery, and sauté 5 minutes. Stir in sage, parsley, and seasoned pepper; sauté 1 minute. Remove from heat, and stir into cornbread mixture.

Whisk together chicken broth and remaining 3 eggs; stir into cornbread mixture. Pour evenly into 1 lightly greased 13- x 9-inch pan and 1 lightly greased 8-inch square pan.

Bake at 400° for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown.

That's almost like my Cornbread Dressing Lana.
Except throughout the year I save leftover corn bread and bits and pieces of bread in the freezer. The come Turkey time, I make my dressing.
And I make a large amount because everyone LOVES Momma's Cornbread Dressing!
It ain't Thanksgiving without it.
Well actually it was my Grandmother's, then my Mom's and now mine, and soon to be my daughters.
And it's not Stuffing at our house, It's Dressing.
I hate it stuffed in the bird.
