MOMMA'S OLD FASHIONED CORNBREAD DRESSING
This is the best dressing I have ever had. My Mother has made it for years and it came from her Mother. I now prepare the same dressing for my Mother and family for Thanksgiving every year. Tips for making this dressing is to bake the cornbread, toast, crackers and rice the day before. Crumble all these ingredients in large bowl, cover and refrigerate over night. You can also dice up the carrots, onions and celery to store over night too.

- To prevent the bread cubes from drying out, toss them with a mixture of melted butter and olive oil before toasting.
- For a more flavorful dressing, use a combination of fresh and dried sage.
- Adding a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the dressing will enhance its flavor.
