Dressing
This is my dad's recipe and a must have for us!

7 oz Pepperidge Farm herb seasoned dressing
7 oz Pepperidge Farm cornbread stuffing
15 slices dry bread cubes
2 large celery sticks, chopped fine
1/2 large onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups butter
3 tsp. poultry seasoning
1 1/2 tsp. sage
3 cups chicken broth

Melt butter in a big skillet. Add celery, onion, sage and poultry seasoning. Cook until onion and celery are soft. Put cubed bread and the other stuffings into the butter mixture. Mix together. Add chicken broth to make the mixture sticky.  You want no crunchy stuff. Spray a baking dish with oil.  Bake at 325 for 30 minutes.

Olive Cheese Ball
(As an appetizer)

8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup chopped green olives
1/4 cup chopped black olives
