If dinner rolls and bread are usually guests at your holiday table, you can save a step and impress your guests by substituting savory stuffing loaves, muffins or balls. Molded stuffing is a tempting two-in-one side dish that is easy, too, since convenient packaged stuffing mix is the perfect foundation from which to start your adventure. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>Wowing your guests this way isn\u0092t a new idea, but rather based on a very old, tried-and-true one. The archives that span 60 years of recipes from Mrs. Cubbison\u0092s Foods are full of stuffing balls, loaves and muffins from the early days when the company began publishing its recipes for home cooks. The company was started in the early 1900s by the late Sophie Cubbison &#8212; an outstanding cook who invented packaged stuffing mix. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>\u0093Although these recipes take just minutes to make, because they are so interesting looking and tasting and different than what we traditionally serve today, they are showstoppers that draw \u0091oohs\u0092 and \u0091ahhs\u0092 from guests around the holiday table,\u0094 said Leo Pearlstein, a longtime friend of Sophie Cubbison, who now serves on the company\u0092s board of directors. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>Convenience is important for today\u0092s cooks who want to emulate antique recipes to the delight of their holiday guests, but who don\u0092t have time to slave over a hot stove. There has been a boon in sales of packaged homemade-style croutons in recent years from popular companies like Mrs. Cubbison\u0092s Foods (prepared from freshly baked bread that is lightly toasted and perfectly seasoned, they are based on recipes invented by Sophie Cubbison in the early 1900s). &#13;<\/p>\n<p>Our holiday side dish soiree includes stuffing muffin, loaf and ball recipes from Mrs. Cubbison\u0092s Foods archives dating from the 1950s followed by a distinctive salad recipe: &#13;<\/p>\n<p>Fig Stuffing Loaves &#13;<\/p>\n<p>2 (6-ounce) bags of Seasoned Cornbread Stuffin\u0092 &#13;<\/p>\n<p>1 cup melted butter or margarine &#13;<\/p>\n<p>1 cup chopped celery, including leaves &#13;<\/p>\n<p>1 orange, chopped, including peel (seeds removed) &#13;<\/p>\n<p>1 cup chopped dried figs &#13;<\/p>\n<p>2 eggs, well beaten &#13;<\/p>\n<p>1 cup milk &#13;<\/p>\n<p>Combine all ingredients and mix until well blended. Pack mixture into 8 small (4 1\/2 by 2 1\/2 by 1 1\/2 inch) greased loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes, or until firm to the touch. Unmold and serve. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>Yields 8 single-serving loaves. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>Pumpkin Dressing Balls &#13;<\/p>\n<p>1 (6-ounce) bag of Seasoned Dressing &#13;<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 cup melted butter or margarine &#13;<\/p>\n<p>1 cup mashed fresh or canned pumpkin &#13;<\/p>\n<p>1 teaspoon allspice &#13;<\/p>\n<p>3\/4 cups water &#13;<\/p>\n<p>6 to 8 walnut halves &#13;<\/p>\n<p>In a large bowl, combine stuffing mix with melted butter or margarine. In a separate small bowl, blend pumpkin with allspice. Add pumpkin mixture to stuffing, reserving about 2 tablespoons for garnish. Blend in water, mixing well, but lightly. Shape dressing into 6 or 8 balls and place in greased casserole. Top each with about a teaspoon of reserved pumpkin and place a walnut half in center of each. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake at 325 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes, or until firm. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>Yields 6 to 8 dressing balls. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>Apricot Stuffing Muffins &#13;<\/p>\n<p>1 (6-ounce) bag of Seasoned Cornbread Stuffin\u0092 &#13;<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 cup melted butter or margarine &#13;<\/p>\n<p>3 eggs, well beaten &#13;<\/p>\n<p>1 1\/2 cups chicken broth &#13;<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 cup crumbled crisp bacon &#13;<\/p>\n<p>3\/4 cup chopped dried apricots &#13;<\/p>\n<p>In a large bowl, combine stuffing mix with melted butter or margarine, eggs, broth, bacon and 1\/2 cup of the chopped apricots. Spoon mixture into 12 greased muffin cups. Top each muffin with a sprinkling of the remainder of chopped apricots. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes, or until firm. Cover muffins with aluminum foil if chopped figs on top brown too quickly. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>Yields 12 stuffing muffins. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>Spicy Cranberry Salad with Feta Crust &#13;<\/p>\n<p>1 (6-ounce) box of garlic-flavored croutons &#13;<\/p>\n<p>1 1\/2 teaspoons olive oil &#13;<\/p>\n<p>1\/4 cup feta cheese &#13;<\/p>\n<p>3 cups mixed greens &#13;<\/p>\n<p>3\/4 cup dried cranberries &#13;<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 cup chopped celery &#13;<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 cup chopped Granny Smith apple, with peel &#13;<\/p>\n<p>Italian salad dressing, to taste (approximately 1\/4 to 1\/2 cup) &#13;<\/p>\n<p>Finely crush croutons. In a medium bowl, add croutons, olive oil and feta cheese. Combine well. Divide into six portions. Take each portion and mold as crusts into six individual small salad bowls. In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, dried cranberries, celery, apple and Italian dressing. Mix well. Place greens mixture in each salad bowl, slightly pressing greens into crust. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>Yields 6 servings. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>Courtesy of ARA Content &#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n About the author:<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n &#13;<br \/>\n  Courtesy of ARA Content<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/\"\/><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"-2\">Circulated by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geekzonehosting.com\">GeekZoneHosting.Com &#8211; Register a domain name and get hosting for your own Adsense Website just like this one<\/a><\/font>&#13;\n  <\/p>\n<hr size=\"-1\"\/><\/span><\/td>\n<p>&#13;\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p align=\"left\">\u00a0        <\/p>\n<p>&#13;\n      <\/td>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n    <\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<hr width=\"800\" noshade=\"noshade\"\/><a href=\"https:\/\/on-line-interactivity.com\/ADSENSEWEBSITES\">RETURN TO ADSENSE BUSINESS-IN-A-BOX MASTER ARTICLE INDEX<\/a><\/p>\n<hr width=\"800\" noshade=\"noshade\"\/>\n<div class=\"fb-share-button\" data-href=\"https:\/\/on-line-interactivity.com\/\" data-layout=\"button\" data-size=\"large\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fon-line-interactivity.com%2F&amp;src=sdkpreparse\" class=\"fb-xfbml-parse-ignore\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Share<\/a><\/div>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<div id=\"fb-root\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n<script async=\"\" defer=\"defer\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;version=v4.0&amp;appId=103650273035821&amp;autoLogAppEvents=1\"\/><!-- End of FACEBOOK SHARE BUTTON CODE --><span class=\"style6\"><br \/><span class=\"style2\">\u00a92019 - All Rights Reserved by <a href=\"http:\/\/HelpMeFindFreedom.Online\">HelpMeFindFreedom.Online<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.website.ws\/kvmlm2\/my.dhtml?sponsor=geekzonehostingcom&amp;bannercode=gif002&amp;language=english\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.website.ws\/images\/english\/banners\/kvmlm2\/468x60_02.gif\" border=\"0\"\/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n<\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; \u00a0 &#13; \u00a0&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; Article Navigation &#13; Back To &#13; Main Page &#13; &#13; &#13; \u00a0 &#13; Click Here &#13; for more articles &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; Shaping Up Holiday Side Dishes &#13; by: &#13; ARA [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5681","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-adsense-business-in-a-box"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/on-line-interactivity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5681","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/on-line-interactivity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/on-line-interactivity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/on-line-interactivity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/on-line-interactivity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5681"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/on-line-interactivity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5681\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/on-line-interactivity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5681"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/on-line-interactivity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5681"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/on-line-interactivity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
