Ingredients:
3/4 pound sourdough bread (cut into 1/2 inch cubes)
Olive oil
1 pound sweet Italian sausage (casings removed)
1 large onion (chopped)
1 stalk celery (chopped)
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon fresh sage (chopped)
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley
1 1/4 cups chicken stock
2 large eggs
3 cups Granny Smith apples (cut into 1/2 inch cubes)
1/2 cup golden raisins
Salt and pepper (to taste)

3. Saute the onion and celery in the pan with the sausage drippings until soft and transluscent, about 10 minutes, then add to the sausage and bread mixture.
4. Add butter and apples to same skillet, cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add herbs and raisins, and cook an additional minute. Return the sausage, celery, onion, and bread to skillet and mix. Add the eggs to the stock and mix into stuffing. Season with salt and pepper, toss, then transfer contents to a baking dish and bake at 350F until golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Erik Barajas - Pumpkin Pie
Level: Easy
Total time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (optional)
3 large eggs, beaten
2 cups (or one 15-ounce can) pumpkin
1 1/4 cups light cream or evaporated milk
Your favorite single pie crust
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugars, flour, salt, and spices.
2. In a large measuring cup, beat together the eggs, pumpkin, and cream or evaporated milk. Whisk into the dry ingredients. For best flavor, cover and refrigerate the filling overnight before baking.
3. Lightly grease a 9 inch pie pan that's at least 1 1/2 inches deep. Roll the pie dough out to a 13 inch circle, and transfer to the pan. Crimp the edges above the rim; this will give you a little extra headroom to hold the filling when it expands in the oven. Refrigerate the crust while the oven preheats to 400F.
4. When the oven is hot, place the pie pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie shell.
5. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the filling is set 2 inches in from the edge. The center should still be wobbly. Remove the pie from the oven and cool on a rack; the center will finish cooking through as the pie sits.
