CREOLE CORNBREAD STUFFING (EMERIL'S)
Saw this on Good Morning America. I decided immediately it had to be a last minute addition to our Thanksgiving menu. My 22 year old son was thrilled to have it assigned to him ("instead of a sissy salad"). He breezed through making it and we all thought it was so good it had to have a permanent place on our Thanksgiving menu. Highly recommended (although it may be a tad spicy for some -- if you are timid about spices, go easy on them).
