Campbell and Swanson teamed up to help me give you a few delicious,  yet easy to make, recipes for your various side dishes this Thanksgiving.

If your family loves stuffing, or even if they don't, try the following recipe:

Prep Time: 15-20 min Bake Time: 30 min  Serves: 11

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups Chicken Broth
Generous dash ground black pepper  
2 stalk celery, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
1 large onion, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
1 package (16 ounces) Herb Seasoned Stuffing

Directions:

Heat the oven to 350°F. Heat the broth, black pepper, celery and onion in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the stuffing and mix lightly.

Spoon the stuffing mixture into a greased 3-quart casserole dish.  Cover and bake for 30 minutes or until hot.

Tip: For crunchier stuffing, bake the casserole uncovered.

Or, if Mashed Potatoes are more your thing,  try this recipe:

Prep Time: 15 min  Cook Time: 20 min  Serves: 6

Ingredients:

3 1/2 cup  Chicken Broth
5 large potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 7 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup light cream
2 tablespoon butter
Generous dash ground black pepper
1 can (14.5 ounces) Turkey Gravy

Directions:

Heat the broth and potatoes in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat to a boil.

Reduce the heat to medium. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Drain, reserving the broth.

Mash the potatoes with 1/4 cup broth, cream, butter and black pepper. Add additional broth, if needed, until desired consistency.

Ultimate Mashed Potatoes: Stir 1/2 cup sour cream, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives into the hot mashed potatoes.

Many artisans report that fair trade brings themmuch more than regular work and fair pay. They begin to see hope for thefuture, earn dignity and respect in their community and experience joy in beingable to provide for their families.

The handicraft sales allow many artisan groups tosupport not only themselves and their families, but also, the communitydevelopment and education programs. Fair trade allows diverse cultures from aroundthe world to continue to create traditional handicrafts.
