Favorite Bread Stuffing (Low-Fat)

1/2 cup water
1 onion, chopped
3 cups sliced mushrooms (about 1/2 lb.)
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
4 cups cubed bread
1/3 cup finely chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon sage
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup very hot water or vegetable stock

Heat 1/2 cup water in a large pot or skillet. Add the onion and
cook 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms & celery and cook
over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms
begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Preheat oven to 350F. Stir in
bread & spices, salt & pepper. Lower the heat & continue
cooking for 3 minutes, then stir in the water or stock, a little at
a time, until the dressing obtains the desired moistness. Spread
in an oil-sed baking dish, cover & bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the cover and bake 10 more minutes.
