Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

1 (4 pound) whole duck
10 cups water, or more as needed
1 (9x9 inch) pan prepared cornbread, crumbled
4 prepared biscuits, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon salt
8 large eggs

Directions

Place duck in a 12-quart stockpot with enough water to cover by 2 to 3 inches. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until meat is tender, about 1 hour. Remove duck from broth, allow to cool, and pull meat from the bones into bite-sized pieces. Reserve broth.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Mix together cornbread, biscuits, onion, sage, pepper, garlic salt, and salt in a large roasting pan. Beat eggs in a bowl; pour over cornbread mixture. Add duck pieces to the pan; mix thoroughly. Stir in reserved duck broth until dressing is very moist (about the consistency of thick pancake batter).
Bake in the preheated oven until a spoon inserted into the center of dressing can stand up, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Homemade Fish Sticks

These baked homemade fish sticks served with tartar sauce come out crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. You can use cod, halibut, or catfish fillets.

Cold Macaroni and Tuna Salad

This cold tuna salad is a simple and good recipe that is great served on those hot summer days. It can even be prepared the night before so that it is ready and cold when you come home from work the next day. My husband never ate this until we got married; now, he requests it every other week in the summer. You can substitute chicken for the tuna, which is also great. I serve it on a leaf of lettuce, for looks, with an assortment of crackers. Happy eating!

Fresh Peach Salsa

This peach salsa is easy to make with fresh peaches, red onion, cilantro, and lime. It's sweet, tangy, and delicious! It makes a great side dish, garnish, or party appetizer with chips.

Salmon Cream Cheese

This salmon cream cheese is great spread on a bagel, or as a dip with crackers. It's tart and salty with lemon, fresh dill, and capers, and the whipped cream cheese makes it light enough to use as a dip.

Miso Chicken Noodle Soup

This miso chicken noodle soup, with thick, chewy udon noodles and a savory miso broth, is a tasty—and very easy—remake of traditional chicken noodle soup.
