My favorite food

Chicken and dressing is my favorite food.  The end.  And like most folks, my mom's is my favorite.  I really do think hers is the best and that she could win a national contest.  Do not tell me different or I will punch you.
Given my affinity for dressing, you can imagine my concern when I heard that nobody was bringing it to a friend's Thanksgiving dinner.  So, I volunteered.  This is a tad daunting.  I mean, I can cook - but can I cook dressing?  Good, Southern Momma dressing?  And how come, despite all of my extreme Southerness, I'm exceedingly bad to average at making cornbread?
Last night, I baked a pan of biscuit and 2 pones of cornbread in preperation.  I think I'm going to wait until tomorrow to make the chicken.  Thankfully, someone has left behind a giant metal bowl at my house, so I have something to stir it up in. 
Let's hope that the miraculous balance of seasoning to bread to egg to chicken passes itself down to me.

  1. Oh, so delicious. I do love me some chicken and dressing. City Café's is especially tasty.
    I made my first pan of cornbread dressing last night for a church thing. I hope that it's not Grodie Croyle. :)

  3. Nice!
    It turned out pretty good. A little dry for my taste, but everyone else seemed to like it. :)
