What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

This is a festive holiday stuffing with the addition of fresh cranberries.

12 cups day old white bread cubed
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cups chopped fresh cranberries
1/4 cup sugar, or to taste
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper, to taste
1 pound bulk pork sausage or ground beef
1 cup warm chicken broth, or as needed
Place the bread cubes in a large bowl.
Heat the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the celery and onion and cook until starting to soften. Do not let them brown.
Add the sugar, cranberries, sage, rosemary, thyme, and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir just so the sugar starts to dissolve. Remove to the bowl.
Brown the sausage or hamburger in a skillet until cooked. Drain off fat. Add the meat to the bowl.
Gently toss the ingredients in the bowl while adding chicken broth. Add enough broth so the stuffing is moist but not soggy.
You can stuff a turkey with the cranberry sausage stuffing (recipe will stuff a 15 pound turkey) or bake in a casserole dish at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until cooked.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

I found this recipe easy to make and a great change from traditional stuffing. No leftovers to pack up. My family wants to know if I'll make it again.
