I used your recipe to make stuffing muffins for Thanksgiving. Instead of putting the dressing in a traditional baking pan I used an ice cream scoop to portion it into a greased muffin tin. I baked the stuffing muffins for about 25 minutes at 375°. They turned out perfect and everyone had a perfect portion of crunchy dressing. -
I made this last night. It was delicious. I didn't have any white bread so used whole wheat and also used 1/2 large shallot chopped instead of the onion. I also added a little dried thyme and some dried parsley. Thanks for a very tasty and easy recipe! -
"Taste great" but i added broth on top of dress ever 30 min to keep from drying out

I made this for Thanksgiving 2008. Sorry it took me so long to review this (well, not really that long). My BF loves cornbread dressing, and although I prefer herb dressing I decided to surprise him with this for Thanksgiving. It was a hit for both him and me! I subbed vegetable broth for the chicken and reduced the butter a bit (even though there wasn't "too much" to begin with) and added some leftover almonds (usually I add walnuts to stuffing). It has the requisite celery (can't imagine stuffing without it) and of course I added the sage and served with our Tofurkey. Thanks for making our Thanksgiving dinner a hit! -
I've never had cornbread dressing before but everyone loved this! I used a small handful of fresh chopped sage. This is not a heavily flavored dressing and that was just right for the menu I was serving (on Thanksgiving!) as it provided a nice balance of flavors. I really liked the way the celery retained just a little crunch to it! I also used turkey broth instead of chicken broth.

Before I joined Zaar, I could barely boil water properly. So, when someone compliments my cooking and asks me where I learned how to cook, I'm proud to say I learned from a cooking website and a few store-bought cookbooks.
I have a black and white cat named Allie who is a little over 2 years old. She was adopted from the Humane Society. I really feel like we "rescued" her because she was sick when we got her and the Humane Society, as well-meaning as they are, just didn't have the resources to take care of her properly and she surely would have been euthanized. She is very healthy and happy now. She has tons of toys to play with, gets plenty of food and treats, gets to go out in the backyard to catch bugs and eat them, and someone is home with her almost all the time to cater to her every whim and fancy, lol. I don't have any children, Allie Cat is my baby, lol.
I developed a serious, unrelenting crush on Colin Farrell after I saw him in a movie called "American Outlaws", and I have been in love with him ever since....... well, as much as you can "love" someone you've never met.
I love t.v. and movies (always have) and I'm a huge fan of pop culture. Two of my favorite shows about pop culture are "Best Week Ever" on VH1 and "The Soup" on E!.
Grease is my favorite movie of all time, followed in a close second by Forrest Gump.
I came across this site by accident, I don't recall what recipe I was looking for, but I know that I found it and a whole lot more!
