Aunt June's French Bread Dressing

3 loaves of french bread, day old, not dry, still soft, crust and all. Break up to size of nickel or dollar.

3 onions and 4 stalks of celery, 2 green peppers- diced and cover with water. Cook on top of stove in pan without lid until soft and most of water is boiled away.

Prepare 1 1/2 qts scalded milk (this is milk that just about comes to a boil). Add vegetables to milk while hot.

Add 3/4 lbs of butter or margarine to hot milk until melted

Add to scalded milk 2 tsp of sage and salt to taste. Pour over bread. This is a fluffy dressing so stir lightly with a fork. I can't tell you how much salt to use. After you have stirred all together, perhaps you can taste it and see if it is salty enough.


This is enough dressing for a 20 lbs turkey and a little left over, Do not stuff turkey too full as dressing does expand. Extra dressing, I put in a covered casserole dish and bake about 1 hour at 325.

To give more time to make dressing, I usually cook the vegetables the night before and put in fridge and add to scalded milk the next morning. Dressing should be cold when put in turkey.

Grandma Ione's Yams

Boil yams on top of stove with skins on. Drain and cool so you can handle yams without burning your hands. I always use yams not sweet potatoes.

Peel yams and cut them in thick slices or large chunks and layer the following. It is hard to give an exact recipe amount. I just use handfuls of the following. I believe this is for 12 medium yams not the great big ones.

Brown sugar- 1 pound
Mini Marshmallows- 1 pkg
1 lbs butter

On each layer of yams, salt, put handfuls of the above, cut butter and put some on each layer. If you have an electric frying pan, cook slowly until come to boil ad make sure they don't stick. Then simmer for a good half hour to an hour. When all is melted, you can use spoon and lift yams up. Taste them and see if yams have absorbed the ingredients. If not, simmer a little longer. If they need more of the ingredients, use a little more. Good Luck!! Sorry no recipe!!
