I learned how to cook from my aunts... and they were born anywhere between 1906 to 1921, and they had me officially take over Thanksgiving dinner when I was 15 while everybody was still alive and able to teach me. The only thing I didn't get was Sissy's rolls. I'm still trying to get that perfect "lighter than air" crustless yeast roll. I've got regular rolls down perfect. And my kolache bread is out of this world. But the "lighter than air" dinner rolls I'm still struggling with... where they're 90% air and the remainder is just buttery goodness. Little buttery pillows.

Wish I got my Dad's dressing recipe before he passed. He made the best.

my wife makes the best cornbread dressing with giblet gravy. nothing exotic or out of the ordinary, just mouth watering good. she's cooking the cornbread now. think i'm going to have go outside or i'll get into it.

I had a bunch of dressing leftover. I had some big old crappie we caught...so I made a Cajun style dinner...warmed it I up in a pot and added a sauteed bell pepper, some Cajun seasoning, a bottle of clam juice,and some boiled shrimp...let that sit while I blackened some crappie filets on the griddle...made a batch of mixed vegetables and dirty rice...turned out great.

Tis the season. Making this easy to find.

Y�all try adding chopped onions and celery to your dressing cornbread mix prior to baking it. It makes for great cornbread at any time but really rocks in dressing.

A little corn and some peppers doesn't hurt either.

True! A can of chopped hatch chilis is a standard around here.

I swear I'm going to start calling you bubba. I swear we were raised by the same folks cooking wise at least.

It still surprises me every once in a while when you talk about your oyster dressing. I haven't been able to make that in 15 years simply because everybody else would look at me funny for it.
