Mom's Variation:

1. Cube 2 loaves of bread the night before needed, and allow to dry overnight.
2. Cut celery stalks into large chunks.
3. Cut onion into quarters
4. Put celery, onion, and ½ cup butter in blender and blend until smooth.
5. Add spices, and 2 eggs and blend until smooth.
6. Pour over cubed bread and mix well.
7. If too dry, add more melted butter, or mix up a smaller batch of the celery, onion, egg mixture.

Note: This recipe is a bit of a mishmash.  I'm trying to recreate my mom's stuffing.  That stuffing was my favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal.  She would never write it down, despite me asking multiple times.  After making it with her the last time, I tried to write down the steps and ingredients.  Unfortunately, I haven't been able to recreate it just right yet, and Mom has since passed. This recipe will be cleaned up and simplified when I get it right.
