Stuffing Time!

Hey y'all! It's almost November and that makes me think of one thing: Thanksgiving! I love this holiday so much, and not just because of the delicious food. It's a great day to spend with your family, and a great day to reflect on all the blessings we have. And of course, a great day to get in the kitchen and cook!
I truly love every dish in the Thanksgiving meal, so we're gonna look at several of them throughout the month of November. We are going to start with dressing, or as some call it, stuffing!
My dear friend Dora Charles came over to help me cook our famous dressing. it's the exact dressing we serve at The Lady & Sons. Dora has been part of my life for over a decade. She was with me in the tiny kitchen at the Best Western when we opened up The Lady & Sons, and I could not have imagined it any other way. She has been my trusted eyes and ears in the kitchen at The Lady & Sons and it makes me so happy and comfortable to know that the quality of the food is always top notch. That's all thanks to Dora and the rest of the amazing team we have at our restaurant.
Like I mentioned, over the course of the month, we're going to be featuring four dishes that are part of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. But instead of asking y'all to cook a dish each week for the Activity Challenge, only to have to cook it again for Thanksgiving, we're going to ask you to send in your dishes AFTER you cook your Thanksgiving dinner. That way you can have a family member or friend take pictures and video of you preparing your Thanksgiving meal and then send it in to Get Cookin' for the activity challenges! We will announce the winners of each of the dishes after the holiday.
Now, if you want to send it your dishes every week like usual, we welcome you do that, and we'll still post them on the Community Dishes blog. You can submit for each week's theme starting that week and lasting up until the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. There will be eight winners this month, two from each of the Thanksgiving dishes. Each winner will get a signed copy of my book 'Paula Deen Celebrates', which has recipes for every holiday of the year, from Thanksgiving to Elvis's birthday!
Love and Best Dishes,
Paula

I love the holidays, but my clothes don't. They keep getting smaller:) My mom makes the world's best stuffing, sorry Paula. And I tried to make it one year to keep some of the stress off of her and my husband wouldn't eat it just because it wasn't my moms. I feel the love there. -

Oh my Dad is the stuffing/dressing maker at our Thanksgiving. It has butter and lots of it of course. It has onions, celery, cornbread ,made and left under the dish towel all night, broth, salt, pepper, eggs, pinch of most of the seasonings on the seasoning shelf, pinch of garlic, and sometimes a bag of dry crumbs to get it the right consistency. It is wonderful baked in a pan. -

This is my mother-in-laws wonderful dressing recipe. Everyone loves it . She taught me how to make the dressing before she passed away. It is super rich and wonderful. Everyone begs for it each Thanksgiving and Christmas. You just can't go wrong with it.
Bake a medium pan of your favorite corn bread. Saute a large onion and several stalks of celery in 1 1/2 half sticks of real butter until transparent. Boil 6 eggs. Mix cornbread, onion mixture, chopped eggs, half sleeve saltines, three sliced white bread, salt and pepper to taste, two tablespoons sage, one can of cream of chicken soup, one large can chicken broth in a sprayed baking pan. Cover and let this stay in frig overnight. Next day cook your turkey as usual. When it it done pour enough of the rich drippings from the turkey into your cornbread mixture, until you think it is the right consistency (a little loose). Mix well and bake on 350 degrees until it is fully set and browned, about an hour or so.
I use my giblets and neckbone from the turkey to make a good gravy. Boil them in water with a stick of real butter, salt and pepper until tender. Chop the meat and add with a couple of diced boiled eggs in the liquid. Mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cup of water and add to boiling mixture to thicked.
