For years I had actually been avoiding making this recipe. We love matzo stuffing with our holiday turkey and this recipe requires real bread stuffing. I didn’t want to give up the matzo stuffing so I pretended that the leftovers casserole recipe didn’t exist! It worked, for a while.

My hubby saw the television commercial one too many times and insisted that this was the year that we had to have this amazing cranberry turkey casserole, so I gave in and made it.
I am so glad I did! It tastes just as delicious as it looks on TV and it is well-worth it for me to make some bread stuffing just for this recipe! (I am never giving up my matzo stuffing.) This casserole is now part of our annual family holiday tradition.

Not to change the subject but, I am going to just for a minute…
When it comes to keeping a clean kitchen and a clean home, pet owners have their own special frustration. We LOVE our fur babies but, let’s face it, fur babies leave fur ALL OVER THE PLACE!
.
When we had our amazing yellow labs, I’d go to work feeling like I took part of them to work with me. Their fur was all over my clothes. I came to realize that depending on lint rollers was WAY TO FAR into the process. I needed to get that fur up off the floor and furniture before it got onto my clothes.
.
So, I went on a search for an excellent pet hair vacuum that was also one that I could afford. And, guess what? I found it! I got a Shark Navigator Liftaway Upright Vacuum* and it literally changed my life. No more fur frustration. It picks up dog fur (or cat fur or bunny fur or … you get what I mean) and even people hair – it gets it all! And, emptying the canister is so simple. A dream come true! What a great invention.
