Traditional Family Recipe Everybody wants dressing or stuffing "like mom makes" so the recipes vary widely! When you attempt getting a recipe, you may find no one actually put a pen to paper. Most folks, including me, vary it somewhat each time I make it. This recipe is what I could glean from Momoo (followed by numerous phone calls) and one that was published in SOUTHERN LIVING - November 1998 on p. 175. Of course my grandmother had no access to stuffing mix or cartons of turkey stock so this recipe is easier to make. I do recommend the homemade cornbread with stone ground meal as I believe it makes a big difference in the texture and taste.
Love to all, Mimi
