My Mom passed away in 2020 and I’m making Thanksgiving and Christmas and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you and your recipes. I fall asleep with your videos playing and it gives me such peace. Thank you for being there for me even though you don’t know me. You are an Angel. ♥️
So sorry for your loss and I know you will be so successful with anything you cook from Ms Lori, we all just love her and she helps us with everything. ❤
I’m a hospice nurse working on thanksgiving so I had mine today :) Please pray our patients, their families and our staff have a good and safe day. I’m so thankful to the Lord for all his grace and mercy.
I remember Daddy striking up a conversation in areas like a waiting room. When the subject turned to food, he would ask the ladies how many eggs they put in their cornbread. When they said 2, his eyes would sparkle and he would tell them his secret. He used 3 eggs! He never put sugar in his cornbread either. He had been chief cook during WWII and Mama had been a home ec teacher. I ate good. This year we're not having Thanksgiving. Eugene came down with shingles. Honestly I'm grateful. So everyone reading this, y'all have a Blessed Thanksgiving.
Thank you I hope you finish the year happy and healthy ready for a new one. My sisters husband (Troy) now both have passed, he could and would start a conversation with anybody and everybody. He was one of a kind (kind of like your Daddy). I sure do miss them terribly. I’ll try the 3 eggs this year in your Daddy’s honor. Take care~Linn
Cook yourself a great steak! That's what we're doing. I sent years doing the whole holiday cooking. Now, we can do whatever we want to do. I miss the old days, but it was the people not the food.
Well Ms. Lori, this video made me cry like a baby. My Momma went to heaven in June 2020 at age of 90. She made her gravy EXACTLY like you described your Grandma's. So delicious and I love it. She made her dressing much like you. I didn't cry because it made me sad, I'll see her again someday and I know this. It made me thankful for her memories expecially this time of year. I try to remember everything about her cooking, but I'm older myself and I don't always. I would like to say thank you for keeping the old ways. I really love you and Mr. Brown. God bless y'all and have a most blessed Thanksgiving. God is good all the time.
Hi Maxine! It's almost been a year since you wrote this. I sure hope you've had a good year and everything is well with you! I relate with your message so much. My mother is 90yrs old and the youngest of 12. Lately moms been telling me how she's worn out and going to be going home soon to be with her mother & father soon. It breaks my heart in one way, and in another, it's comforting to know a place like heaven awaits. I'm 60 now and blessed to live back at home with mom since daddy passed away. It's ironic how things go full circle. I love my mother so much, I don't know how I'll make it without her when the good Lord calls her home! Just please know, your message touched my heart! Sending nothing but love your way💯🌞❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
When I was 10 yrs old my mother went to work and I was responsible for the cooking and we were a family of eight. I remember using saltine crackers to make stuffing. I sautéed the onions and celery in butter then added the remaining ingredients and herbs. I was a very good cook at that age most of my skill came from my Grandmother, she could make a anything taste good. I learned how to can and freeze from her.That was many many years ago and the saltine crackers triggered a memory. Thank you Miss Lori for that memory and thank you for sharing your recipes. 🙂❤️
I was so happy to see Miss Lori making this dressing. Ever since my daddy died in 1975, it has fallen to me to do holiday meals cause mama couldn’t handle doing all of the cooking by herself. So since she lived with me, I was blessed to learn by doing with her there with me. Now, our kids are grown and living all over the place with families of their own. Mama and my two sisters are with mama in heaven so it’s rather quiet around here. I still long for the, and all of the cooking and good smells. But we are now in our 70’s and enjoy our children as they do the cooking! Passing the legacy of good food and lots of love. It’s a wonderful thing. Happy Thanksgiving.
Beautiful comment to which I can relate however now in my sixties it’s just my younger brother and I. We decided to have spaghetti and meatballs with salad and Thanksgiving desserts. The house is so quiet and didn’t feel like stirring up emotions with traditions of the past. God is good and looking forward to January!
I’m so grateful for this. My Mom always made a wonderful dressing! I thought I would remember how she made it but I don’t. Loved cornbread dressing! I’m 81 now.
Except for a couple of ingredients, that is my grandmother's recipe for dressing that I make every year!!!! Hope you guys have a blessed Thanksgiving!!
I always keep 5-6 ziploc bags of my dry ingredients mixed up and in my pantry. (Each containing 1 recipe) That way if I come home and want to make some cornbread, I just add the wet ingredients and it’s ready to go. Already measured and everything... Such a time saver! ❤ Also, my brother never would eat my dressing because he would see the onions in there... so I began blending my onions so he couldn’t see them. He came to me and thanked me for NOT putting onions in it. 😂 His wife however, saw me putting onion in it and asked me about it, saying she thought I left the onion out for Kevin... I said nope, what he doesn’t know, won’t hurt him. She laughed with a light bulb going off in her head. 💡 😂
I do the same thing. I cook the onions low and slow for a very long time. The onions almost melt into the cornbread dressing. It is heavenly and my family adores my dressing. My older grandsons can probably eat half of that pan because to them the dressing is the best part (along with a turkey leg). 🥰
The only thing different from my dressing is the eggs. My grandma passed it down to me. And the only utensils we use is our hands....she said that way you can feel when it is just right, and always taste for the seasonings 🥰💜
My wife in law, rest her soul, my husbands first wife, would always make dressing for the holidays that she was very proud of. It was gray with sage and had hard boiled eggs in it. She had holiday meals here with us and their kids. I always made another kind, but thanked her for hers. She passed a few years ago. I make mine pretty much like you, Miss Lori.
I love that you call your husbands ex wife your “wife in law”. I wish more families could see the value of remaining close for the kids sake. My husbands first wife is most certainly not my wife in law. I didn’t meet my husband until he was divorced. He was a young man with two little bitty kids. I had no idea what i was getting into. Initially I thought we’d all get along just fine. Unlike my step mother who had been my dads secretary for several years BEFORE my parents divorced 🤨 I had nothing to do with the demise of the marriage. Nor did my husband. It didn’t turn out that way really and I think it really hurt the kids long term. It’s unfortunate. Anyway, I appreciated your inclusive spirit and I bet your step kids were better for it! God bless! ❤
Cornbread dressing is my favorite Thanksgiving dish. Back in the 70's my granny made hers with lots of sage and where you could cut into bars and eat it in your hand like a piece of cake. You know it was dang good if I can still remember it. 😋
Yes daddy n momma in the kitchen, wed put ours in a sheet pan n bake it after we made it❤❗... When it was done we'd cut it too. It would be cooked enough to be moist inside yet dryer on the top to eat in bar like cuts or daddy would spoon it in lil piles like a thick cookie 😮😅❗... We could also smother it in gibblet gravy . was the days for sure 🤤❤😋❗
Dressing is the best part of the meal. Looks great! My family used 1/2 cornbread, 1/2 biscuit. I mix my cornmeal & flour mixture, oil, eggs, together, bake in a 13X9 then crumble. Add 2 raw eggs & chopped boiled eggs, broth, poultry seasoning, onion. Mine is a little soupier to pour, similar to cake batter-I have to help it out of the bowl a little bit. With gravy & a whole lot of cranberry sauce.
For years my Mom made dressing like yours but put the onions and celery into the blender and poured it into the cornbread mix for the oven. She knew as kids we didn’t like onions and celery. One Thanksgiving she told us how many years she had been doing it. We all laughed and said that she could start just chopping up the celery and onions to put in the cornbread. Another thing is she made a double batch, baking some dressing in a 9X13 pan, then made dressing individual servings in cupcake pans because they were easy to cool then pop in a plastic bag for the freezer. And there is lots of the crust with the little muffins. Easy to take several out for another meal later, or to take to a pot luck heated in a crock pot. Happy Thanksgiving. She used all the other same ingredients as yours. Yum, yum.
I also lost my Dear Mama in early 2020, and Mrs. Lori is a Precious beautiful lady!And I Love her and Mr. Brown and all they teach us! Bless you this holiday season. And always.
I’m making gumbo for Thanksgiving. The kids will eat turkey at other homes so this will be something different at my house. You know, whether I’m cooking what you’re making or not, I listen because I love hearing your voice while you talk about cooking. It’s so calming.
I do this to. I mean I have made her recipes before but I just love to "hear" her speak. Her voice is so soothing and her message and love just come right through the screen. Mary's Nest is another channel that I do this with. ❤
The Martha White mix is what I use to dredge my fried green tomatoes in! Makes them delish! It's harder to find it in Ohio and it's expensive! I've never used it to actually make cornbread with it because it is so expensive! Leftover hot dog buns make great garlic bread to serve with a spaghetti dish!
I would be happy to eat some of your dressing. It’s pretty similar to mine, with a few small differences. I learned from my mother, who learned from her mother. This will be my first Thanksgiving without my mom, who passed away six months ago. I really enjoy watching you and Mr. Brown. God bless y’all.
Before I retired, for our holiday luncheon I always volunteered to make the dressing, gravy and turkey and everyone thought I was crazy to volunteer to prepare the stars of the table. What they didn't know was this part was so EASY. Just easy!!!! Cook in shifts then just throw everything together the morning of the luncheon. To kinda make sure celery and onions are tender, I chop, store in fridge then microwave with homemade chicken broth. When bread mixture is seasoned I just pour veggies mixture into cornbread mixture and it's ready for the oven. I also add eggs to dressing. I NEVER had leftovers. As a matter of fact I heard so many times that it was just like their Grandma's dressing. What a compliment!! A dear friend was diagnosed with cancer and unable to eat, she asked me to make her a pan of dressing. She go a pan big enough to feed family and leftovers to freeze in small containers to have anytime she craved dressing. Such a blessing to be able to help during a time you feel so helpless. Ladies, don't make dressing hard, it's one of the ultimate comfort dishes and super easy to make, and it feeds so many for such an economical expense. Loved our little visit today and thanks for all your hard work and sharing. Christian love and prayers to you and yours.
This is a ps to my 1st comment!!! If I didn't know better I'd say you have looked over my shoulder and took notes on how to make dressing and gravy. Just like I do mine. People just have no idea how good this is, sooooo good. Also if you have leftover gravy, by adding just a couple more things, it can be used to make chicken pot pie filling. Don't throw out those leftovers, just add a few more ingredients and have another great fish/meal.
I add a can of cream of chicken soup to my dressing. I found myself without enough chicken broth when making dressing once, so I added a can of cream of chicken soup out of desperation. Well, I loved the creamy texture and taste, so I add it every time now.
This is almost the same dressing my Mother taught me to make. I don’t think I could make cornbread without Martha White. I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season. We feel safe enough to finally get back together this year. Love to you and Mr. Brown.
I found a trick years ago to tone down the sagey greeness to southern dressing. You put your spices, sage, rosemary, thyme, etc, in your cornbread when your baking it. Turns out golden. Makes a pretty dressing.
This reminds me a lot of my late mother's dressing recipe. She always put chicken and boiled eggs in hers and she would have me taste the mixture before she cooked it to make sure there wasn't too much sage in it too. This brings back some great memories!
Every family has their favorite dressing recipe. Yours sounds so good. My siblings and I loved our mothers homemade from scratch dressing. The best I recall she cooked the gibbets and wings from the turkey. She saved her left over biscuits and used them along with the chopped up gibbets and wing meat, black pepper, salt and the broth from the gibbets and roasted turkey and made dressing. Her dressing went to her grave with her. It was the best to me.
That cornbread dressing looks like a meal on its own, what a wonderful recipe. Only 3 of us for christmas dinner this year and they don't like dressing/stuffing but I'm so tempted to make some just for me. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in Scotland but I do wish you all a Happy, Healthy Thanksgiving xxx
I’ve been making cornbread dressing for 50 years and I make mine almost the same way Lori does except I don’t add Chicken because like you said it would be more like a meal but everyone makes there’s different I make a double batch because I’m usually feeding around 30 people and I like to have leftover’s cornbread dressing is my favorite
My Mama always said, "the greasier the stock, the tastier the dressing". I like it very moist before cooking. Thank you Ms. Lori for this refresher course on making this wonderful traditional dish.
First had cornbread dressing from my mother in law. She was from Arkansas. Thought it was so strange until I tasted it. Never looked back. I make my own now and don’t have a recipe. You are so right on the herbs. Go easy. My favorite year was when I used leftover croissant. Oh my. Thanks for the lesson!
Thank you for your video! I used to call my Mom every Thanksgiving to ask again how much broth she added and how to know when it was enough. She's been in heaven for 11 yrs, and I'm sure she would agree your dressing looks just like hers! Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
My Momma let her cornbread and sandwich bread dry out before adding the broth. She added more eggs and almost covered the dry ingredients with broth and covered to steep to absorb the broth. She poured dressing over turkey picked off the bone, placed on the bottom of baking dish and always turned out perfectly moist and holding together. Yours looks delicious too. 😋
I’m excited to finish this later :). My family just moved to southeast Missouri, so probably not too far from y’all. We got a nice homestead and getting back to the simple things and raising our kids in the Lord in the country. We are on our own out here, but my granny loved the Lord and she used to make the best dressing! Sometimes I feel a tad lonely for her as the holidays approach - I’ve had to figure out how to make her dressing, and I’ve done decent since I have nobody to ask- so this year I think I’ll add some crackers to it.
Same here fullypersuaded. We moved here to southern MO too and we have a homestead and we are alone. So welcome, and I hope you find happiness here. Happy Thanksgiving!
This recipe of yours has been around the world from your video, to my pen, to my friends and relatives in the military. I got your first book and I'm still using it to feed my family, which includes 7 great grandchildren with picky tastebuds; but they eat any recipe I cook from your book. You and Mr. Brown are children compared to me and my husband of 62 years, but I love trying your recipes and learning new techniques because I have the opinion I'll never get too old to learn something new. Thanks for being the sweet Christian lady you are and the wonderful cook, who's willing to share their gift.
My mother started adding chicken to the dressing several years ago and my family loved it. She is now 85 years old, so I have taken on the honor of cooking for them on Thanksgiving and I have carried on her recipe which is much like yours. Thank you for all your videos! Please keep them coming. Hugs and blessings to you and your family. Happy Thanksgiving
I love watching cooking videos, not just to learn new cooking tips and recipes, but also because it makes me feel as if I'm connecting with people from all over. Regional specialities are my favourite and the accents are so much fun. You're lovely Ms. Lori!
Oh my! That’s a great idea! Make some sage biscuits and put giblet gravy over or even regular gravy (I always have twice-monthly broth on hand). Eliminates whole hassle of making stuffing!! But the taste is perfect I bet. We love actual stuffing from bread cubes, no cornbread in it, no mush & no meat or eggs in it as we re having turkey & devilled eggs with it. Gotta make rolls or biscuits to have with dinner anyway so this would just ease up a lot on dinner prep! TY
God bless you, Miss Lori. I'm trying to stretch my pennies right now. Food has become so expensive. I'm following your wonderful advice and making our holiday meal with what I have on hand. Thank you for all these wonderful side recipes.
My mom was the master of southern dressing (Texas). I was always the helper (crumble cornbread and bread). Because all of her kids loved it, she made it in stock pot. (All the way up to my elbows). She never measured her ingredients. I have had some flops and last year it worked out. She did not put meat in her dressing. But everything else is spot on. So no matter what we have (traditional or not) for Thanksgiving and Christmas, I get to bring dressing and banana pudding. Thank you!
Our dressing never had meat in it but we had the meat on the side. We always had the true giblet gravy. It was my job to pick the meat off the neck and cut up the liver, gizzard, heart and boiled eggs. My family doesn’t like the gravy that way and I miss having it that way. Sure makes me hungry for thanksgiving dinner. Thank you. 🥰
Thank you so much for all your hard work and sharing your knowledge with your recipes, you really touched my heart I lost my husband 11 years ago and he loved his gravey with all the giblets, hearts and eggs the southern way, God bless you and your family .
This is how my MIL made her dressing. I've been struggling to get it just right. You've helped me figure out what I've been doing wrong. Her cornbread was always crumbled up fine and she only used broth in hers too. She did add chopped boiled eggs. Thank you!
Im from Louisiana and my family put chopped boiled eggs also! Im thinking it’s a louisiana thing or southern in certain areas. It was like this but she added sauté bell pepper n green onion to her veggie mix.
Fascinating to see how people across our amazing and diverse country make their stuffing/dressing. Looks like it's quite tasty Ms. Lori! I have yet to see anyone who does it like my momma. Very interesting. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving. I wish you and your family an abundance of blessings.♥️
Nothing like southern dressing and gravy and I’m with you Lori .. must have cranberry sauce !! I wish you and Mr.Brown and family a blessed Thanksgiving !!
I love cornbread dressing😊 I make it the same way you do and I learned from my mom who made the best! she had a tradition every Christmas, she would call my brother who lived right beside her and he would come up and taste test it and if he approved of it …that was it and it was always the best😂😂 Happy Thanksgiving to you and Mr. Brown
Holidays are so different now. We all used to cook our specialty casseroles and bring them to Moms house. Now it's just me, everyone else has passed away. What used to be such a happy time is now so sad. Trying your recipes really helps lift my spirits and I get to try them out on my sons.son's. Thank you very much for sharing.
I don't know if this is wrong or what but I save my broth from pork , chicken & turkey from all year, & that's what I make my Thanksgiving dressing with. Nobody really knows it's a mixture & in fact I think its really good. It also makes good gravy. I never waste anything. Even though I can cook, I always watch to see what you're doing & still learn from you. Love, love, love your channel. Happy Holidays to you & your family 🤗
This reminds me so much of helping my grandma cook. She cooked a lot like you do. She made some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. It wasn’t fancy but it always was delicious and comforting. There are two things I would dearly love to taste of her again and that’s her tomato preserves jam, and her potato doughnuts!
Thank Miss Lori. This is just like my Moma's and Grandma's dressing except they both added chopped eggs. I use to make the giblets gravy but no one wanted to eat it with the giblets in it. I never thought of doing it this way. I will give it a try this year. Happy Thanksgiving to you Mr. Brown and everyone here. God bless everyone.
I know I like your dressing,because you and I make it just alike. It’s always good to see you and Mr. Brown. I just love your home stead, it looks so quiet and peaceful. Your chickens just soothe my heart. I know it will never happen,but I would love to set on your porch and just have a quiet conversation with two people that I have known and loved for 5 or more years. I will be glad when you both retire soon and just relax. You deserve it. I send my love , have fun with your grandkids over the holidays and take care, watch out for the mean ole flu , I am just getting over it, love ya,
This looks so delicious. My favorite food at Thanksgiving is cornbread dressing and giblet gravy. I live in western North Carolina and I’m not finding giblets ANYWHERE. I hope I can find some before Thanksgiving. Miss Lori, I can see why your friends hire you to make their dressing. God bless you and Mr. Brown and your family.
Raised on cornbread dressing ( grown up in West Texas.. still live here) my mom always tested it for seasoning and I do too. We don't put any type of meat tho. I bet it is yummy tho! I wish you and your family and anyone reading this a very Blessed Thanksgiving!
Thanks Miss Lorie for the video. Even after 50 years of making dressing and gravy, a refresher is welcomed! Now the giblet gravy is a must for me and mince them finely. My son and wife are hosting Thanksgiving this year. First time I haven't cooked a turkey in decades.....LOL the millennials are taking over but nothing compares to good ole southern cooking by mom and grandmom
You are a pro and people hiring you to make them things prove it. 💖 It looks delicious! Stuffing is my favorite!🧡 I hope you all have a very blessed Thanksgiving week and holiday.🦃🍽️ Love ya!🧡🌻🍂
I make mine just exactly like that without the seasonings. I put more celery and onion but mostly it is the same. And I have a friend that begs me for a tray of dressings. I have made it for her family festivities. It is delicious. Sometimes I use a rotisserie chicken to keep from cooking chicken. It is a meal all unto itself.
I'm going to try this. Stuffing is one thing I have not ever managed to get exactly right but I did make this recipe a few weeks ago and it was great except (for me) way too much sage and poultry seasoning. I've been debating whether to leave it all out or use smaller amount but your version sounds like the right thing to do. Thanks! (Oh also I did not add chicken to it.)
Oh my goodness Ms. Lori. The dressing and gravy looks delicious.. I would love to have a plate of it right now. Looking forward to some more recipes. Have a great weekend.
Miss Lori, thank you for your kind sweet voice & gentle way. In these troubled times- I know when I’m feeling troubled I get thinking it’s time to see what’s happening at Whippoorwill Holler. Between you and the Lord it settles me! I hope you , your wonderful husband and precious family have a joyful, blessed Thanksgiving! ❤️Nana from Wyoming
My husband and I watched this video this eve. We both miss our grandma's dressing. Thanks for showing us how to make it. We are both guys that grew up eating good Ole home cooking. We love watching your videos. Happy Thanksgiving from Paul&Justin ,Kingsport,Tn
❤️ you make it just like my Maw maw, momma, myself and now both daughters. Handed down from generation to generation. Love watching y'all's videos. 2 descent wholesome hardworking folk does the heart good! Thank you both so much!!!!
Ms. Lori I love Cornbread dressing & that’s what I make., My Mother used to Stuff the Turkey and I like it that way better but they always talking about that way is bad, I will not put it in the Turkey for that reason., Thanks For Sharing Ms. Lori 11-18-2022♥️
This is the only dressing I ever make!! Yours is my very favorite. I do it the way you said last time with celery season and onion powder. Love y’all happy thanksgiving to y’all!!!❤❤❤
You remind me of my mama ❤ ty for sharing your love with us. There is a world of us adult orphans that love you and Mr. Brown. My granny was from Benton and my big mama was from North Carolina. Big love to both of you.
I make a huge batch of cornbread dressing each year around Thanksgiving. I make enough to fill anywhere from 10 to 12 aluminum cake pans. I keep one for Thanksgiving day and the rest go into the freezer. My husband and I love it and we decided a few years ago, if we are going to go to the trouble of making it, we are going to make enough so that we can eat it all year long. This year I used 4 recipes of cornbread, 5 lbs of chicken thighs, 5 lbs of chicken breasts and 2 cartons of chicken gizzards, loads of onions, green onions and garlic. I also use around a gallon to a gallon and a half of chicken broth. It usually takes all day but we think it’s worth it. Happy Thanksgiving.
Mrs Lori, You make cooking look as easy as falling off a log... when i start cooking it takes me to a harder higher level. TY for sharing your fav Thanksgiving recipes & especially ur techniques.
Mrs Lori, I agree about keeping it simple, this year. Last year, I stressed about making all of these different side dishes and casseroles. All my family wanted to eat was the basics: the turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, and dressing. My kids didn’t want the different casseroles. 🤷♀️ So, I am keeping it simple and basic, this year.
We would make cornbread to go with pinto beans a couple of times before Thanksgiving and save all our left over biscuits or bread to make dressing with. I agree, a hen is really flavorful. Old birds are the best tasting!
Thank you Miss Lori for this recipe! I usually make homemade turkey cornbread dressing for Thanksgiving, but I really want to try this one of yours. It looks scrumptious. I so appreciate the tips you offer your subscribers, because I think I have been putting too much sage in my dressings. Also, I just wanted to mention I'm very familiar with the giblet gravy. My Kentucky upbringing influenced all my country & southern cooking. And my precious Momma used to make the gravy for every Thanksgiving & Christmas. It was always special & delicious! Have a blessed weekend! ❤
My mom passed away in 2021 and I can never get my dressing to taste like hers but this recipe looks exactly the way she made hers so I'm trying this one this year. The only differences are she always baked her chopped celery and onions right into the cornbread and she used her broth but omitted the chicken. Thanks for the memories. Happy Thanksgiving 2023 everyone🦃
My mom always added all those chopped giblets to her stuffing. She chopped them and sautéed them in butter with onions and celery and then mixed it into the dry ingredients. You would have loved it. But I didn’t 😂😂😂
Being from Georgia, I make my dressing pretty much the same way! I learned from my Grannies n Mama! I like a good moist dressing to! I can eat it by itself it's so good! Thank you Miss Lori for your recipe! God Bless You n Mr Brown 🙏🙏❤❤
Mom use to make this for Thanksgiving.I am one of 5 children. Mom never used exact measurements. This seems close. She did say use a hen for heartier broth. Mom over years developed dementia. And recently passed away in 2021. She was from Alabama and made alot of Southern passed down meals. Thank you Ms Lori for sharing this recipe. I watch you all the time. Need more small batch cooking recipes for 2.
Miss Lori I recently found your CZcams videos. I love them. My family is from Tennessee and I appreciate your way of life and your recipes and your love for the Lord. Thank you
This is just like my Granny taught me to made dressing. I usually freeze some cornbread and then use it when I start to make dressing...just because time get so much more important the closer I get to Thanksgiving! 🤣💕
Good evening! Your Cornbread Dressing with chicken and Giblet Gravy (minus the giblets) look delicious!!! Hubby and I love Cornbread Dressing with the works: Giblet Gravy and Cranberry sauce!!! It's only two of us, so I half the recipe. I bet yours tastes as good as it looks!!! Living in Louisiana I used to make a Cajun Cornbread Dressing recipe by Chef Prudhomme that was good, but growing up in Texas I like the traditional southern version better!!! Thanks for sharing!!! ❤️ Have a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving!!!
Chicken and dumplings and cornbread dressing are my 2 best tasting dishes. I remember being in the kitchen every holiday helping mama cook and I love those memories. I was her helper and had to crumble all the cornbread, de-bone the boiled chicken, boil the eggs and chop them, wash and chop the green onions and have all the spices laid out for her. In my opinion, that's the right way to learn. After making my own for quite a few years and little tweaks here and there, I'm proud to say that my dressing tastes as good as mama's. And that's saying something because mama is one of the best cooks ever.
My Mama passed in 2013. She loved to cook and was an awesome cook. She made this gravy and I can't find her recipe. She didn't put hard boiled eggs in hers. Her trick was to add a couple drops of yellow food coloring. This made it pretty She told me. Your gravy reminds me of hers. Thanks ... I will try it. Nothing hurts like loosing mom. I like to make things She made. It makes us 😊.
I am always so inspired by your cooking!! Love your channel and the peace of you and your home. What a joy to spend at any time watching you cook and teach us. You have the most amazing collection of cooking ware, bowls, tools, ect. I just love it all!!! God Bless you and Danny!!! Psalm 91. Dana
Even though Im from Northern Kentucky, my MOMMOW, then my Mama made the exact SAME cornbread dressing you do! I am almost in tears. My mama passed 4 years ago and all my great Aunts (11) and Mommow are in Heaven, too, I miss them so very much during the holidays, singing, cooking, always laughing and praying over someone. I was so blessed and trust me, Miss Lori, you and Pa Brown would have been just like my family at our Holiday meals. Thank you for a years worth of wisdom and knowledge and know that I wish you and your family a lovely Thanksgiving and a beautiful Holiday season.🦃🦃🙏💙🌞💚🕊💚😔😇 Love, Susun🌞💕💓💞
Thank you Miss Lori. I watched a black man make his dressing and his was very moist too before baking. Kind of soppy. So that must be the key. My dressing has always been dry after cooked. I need to add more broth in it. I love how the black ppl cook, they have good tasting food too! Especially greens that I crave so much.
Miss Lori I was so happy to see your new video today and as always you look amazing. You and Mr.Brown are such heartfelt people. I wish you could make a video on some old chirtmas candies. The one I love is called winter green candy. Not sure if you call it that but that's so good of a candy. I could watch you all day making candy 🍬and bake goodies I could live off the homemade goodies. Love you and Mr.Brown. hope to see more videos of Mr.Brown talking about his childhood stories. Plus love his Bible study 📖 time. Love always tara and kendall cox from five islands nova scoita Canada 🇨🇦❤😍
My Mom passed away in 2020 and I’m making Thanksgiving and Christmas and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you and your recipes. I fall asleep with your videos playing and it gives me such peace. Thank you for being there for me even though you don’t know me. You are an Angel. ♥️
I am so sorry for your loss. ❤️❤️❤️
That feels my heart,
I'm so sorry for the loss of your mama,
Mama's are special,
God Bless, xoxoxo
So sorry for your loss and I know you will be so successful with anything you cook from Ms Lori, we all just love her and she helps us with everything. ❤
Bless your heart. I’m sure your Moma will be proud❤
So sorry for your loss. 💕
I’m a hospice nurse working on thanksgiving so I had mine today :) Please pray our patients, their families and our staff have a good and safe day. I’m so thankful to the Lord for all his grace and mercy.

I remember Daddy striking up a conversation in areas like a waiting room. When the subject turned to food, he would ask the ladies how many eggs they put in their cornbread. When they said 2, his eyes would sparkle and he would tell them his secret. He used 3 eggs! He never put sugar in his cornbread either. He had been chief cook during WWII and Mama had been a home ec teacher. I ate good. This year we're not having Thanksgiving. Eugene came down with shingles. Honestly I'm grateful. So everyone reading this, y'all have a Blessed Thanksgiving.
I used 3 eggs in my dressing this year and it was pretty fantastic!
I make giblet gravy too but no eggs in it.
My mom and Momo used mayonaise and boiled eggs chopped up. It's all yummy!😊
Add a couple of big heaping spoons full of sour cream to your cornbread. It’ll be so moist! I add it to any baked products. They’re never dry!
Thank you I hope you finish the year happy and healthy ready for a new one. My sisters husband (Troy) now both have passed, he could and would start a conversation with anybody and everybody. He was one of a kind (kind of like your Daddy). I sure do miss them terribly. I’ll try the 3 eggs this year in your Daddy’s honor. Take care~Linn
Cook yourself a great steak! That's what we're doing. I sent years doing the whole holiday cooking. Now, we can do whatever we want to do. I miss the old days, but it was the people not the food.
Thank you so much! When my mother in law died I thought I would never have this again. Now I can make it myself.
my mother. in law was like a mother to me.
Well Ms. Lori, this video made me cry like a baby. My Momma went to heaven in June 2020 at age of 90. She made her gravy EXACTLY like you described your Grandma's. So delicious and I love it. She made her dressing much like you. I didn't cry because it made me sad, I'll see her again someday and I know this. It made me thankful for her memories expecially this time of year. I try to remember everything about her cooking, but I'm older myself and I don't always. I would like to say thank you for keeping the old ways. I really love you and Mr. Brown. God bless y'all and have a most blessed Thanksgiving. God is good all the time.
God Bless, Happy Holidays!
Hi Maxine! It's almost been a year since you wrote this. I sure hope you've had a good year and everything is well with you! I relate with your message so much. My mother is 90yrs old and the youngest of 12. Lately moms been telling me how she's worn out and going to be going home soon to be with her mother & father soon. It breaks my heart in one way, and in another, it's comforting to know a place like heaven awaits. I'm 60 now and blessed to live back at home with mom since daddy passed away. It's ironic how things go full circle. I love my mother so much, I don't know how I'll make it without her when the good Lord calls her home! Just please know, your message touched my heart! Sending nothing but love your way💯🌞❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
When I was 10 yrs old my mother went to work and I was responsible for the cooking and we were a family of eight. I remember using saltine crackers to make stuffing. I sautéed the onions and celery in butter then added the remaining ingredients and herbs. I was a very good cook at that age most of my skill came from my Grandmother, she could make a anything taste good. I learned how to can and freeze from her.That was many many years ago and the saltine crackers triggered a memory. Thank you Miss Lori for that memory and thank you for sharing your recipes. 🙂❤️
Why use saltines? I’ve never heard of that
Not many good people like you anymore, unfortunately.
the saltines reminded me of my grandmother too.
Do
Like Miss Lori said:”you used what you had”
I was so happy to see Miss Lori making this dressing. Ever since my daddy died in 1975, it has fallen to me to do holiday meals cause mama couldn’t handle doing all of the cooking by herself. So since she lived with me, I was blessed to learn by doing with her there with me. Now, our kids are grown and living all over the place with families of their own. Mama and my two sisters are with mama in heaven so it’s rather quiet around here. I still long for the, and all of the cooking and good smells. But we are now in our 70’s and enjoy our children as they do the cooking! Passing the legacy of good food and lots of love. It’s a wonderful thing. Happy Thanksgiving.
Beautiful comment to which I can relate however now in my sixties it’s just my younger brother and I. We decided to have spaghetti and meatballs with salad and Thanksgiving desserts. The house is so quiet and didn’t feel like stirring up emotions with traditions of the past. God is good and looking forward to January!
I can soo relate. Hugs 🤗
I’m so grateful for this. My Mom always made a wonderful dressing! I thought I would remember how she made it but I don’t. Loved cornbread dressing! I’m 81 now.
@@char8a2919
@@gloriamiller2473 Don't cha hate that? Not being 81but forgetting the recipes!!! Lol. 🤗 Sending a big hug...
Except for a couple of ingredients, that is my grandmother's recipe for dressing that I make every year!!!! Hope you guys have a blessed Thanksgiving!!
Ditto!
Mine to, they are gone now but very like .om and granmaw
Ditto!
I always keep 5-6 ziploc bags of my dry ingredients mixed up and in my pantry. (Each containing 1 recipe) That way if I come home and want to make some cornbread, I just add the wet ingredients and it’s ready to go. Already measured and everything... Such a time saver! ❤ Also, my brother never would eat my dressing because he would see the onions in there... so I began blending my onions so he couldn’t see them. He came to me and thanked me for NOT putting onions in it. 😂 His wife however, saw me putting onion in it and asked me about it, saying she thought I left the onion out for Kevin... I said nope, what he doesn’t know, won’t hurt him. She laughed with a light bulb going off in her head. 💡 😂
I used to do that when my son was little because he didn't like onions.
I do the same thing. I cook the onions low and slow for a very long time. The onions almost melt into the cornbread dressing. It is heavenly and my family adores my dressing. My older grandsons can probably eat half of that pan because to them the dressing is the best part (along with a turkey leg). 🥰
@@linnjones8263 Your onion idea sounds great...
@@noeldeal8087 Thanks. I love the taste of cooked onions, I just don’t necessarily want to see them. It’s almost like a “secret ingredient”. 👍
That’s how my son is, won’t eat it if he can see the onions. It’s the texture, not the taste. Have to trick him!
The only thing different from my dressing is the eggs. My grandma passed it down to me. And the only utensils we use is our hands....she said that way you can feel when it is just right, and always taste for the seasonings 🥰💜
My wife in law, rest her soul, my husbands first wife, would always make dressing for the holidays that she was very proud of. It was gray with sage and had hard boiled eggs in it. She had holiday meals here with us and their kids. I always made another kind, but thanked her for hers. She passed a few years ago. I make mine pretty much like you, Miss Lori.
I love that you call your husbands ex wife your “wife in law”. I wish more families could see the value of remaining close for the kids sake. My husbands first wife is most certainly not my wife in law. I didn’t meet my husband until he was divorced. He was a young man with two little bitty kids. I had no idea what i was getting into. Initially I thought we’d all get along just fine. Unlike my step mother who had been my dads secretary for several years BEFORE my parents divorced 🤨 I had nothing to do with the demise of the marriage. Nor did my husband. It didn’t turn out that way really and I think it really hurt the kids long term. It’s unfortunate.
Anyway, I appreciated your inclusive spirit and I bet your step kids were better for it! God bless! ❤
Cornbread dressing is my favorite Thanksgiving dish.
Back in the 70's my granny made hers with lots of sage and where you could cut into bars and eat it in your hand like a piece of cake. You know it was dang good if I can still remember it. 😋
Yes daddy n momma in the kitchen, wed put ours in a sheet pan n bake it after we made it❤❗... When it was done we'd cut it too. It would be cooked enough to be moist inside yet dryer on the top to eat in bar like cuts or daddy would spoon it in lil piles like a thick cookie 😮😅❗... We could also smother it in gibblet gravy . was the days for sure 🤤❤😋❗
Dressing is the best part of the meal. Looks great!
My family used 1/2 cornbread, 1/2 biscuit.
I mix my cornmeal & flour mixture, oil, eggs, together, bake in a 13X9 then crumble. Add 2 raw eggs & chopped boiled eggs, broth, poultry seasoning, onion.
Mine is a little soupier to pour, similar to cake batter-I have to help it out of the bowl a little bit.
With gravy & a whole lot of cranberry sauce.
For years my Mom made dressing like yours but put the onions and celery into the blender and poured it into the cornbread mix for the oven. She knew as kids we didn’t like onions and celery. One Thanksgiving she told us how many years she had been doing it. We all laughed and said that she could start just chopping up the celery and onions to put in the cornbread. Another thing is she made a double batch, baking some dressing in a 9X13 pan, then made dressing individual servings in cupcake pans because they were easy to cool then pop in a plastic bag for the freezer. And there is lots of the crust with the little muffins. Easy to take several out for another meal later, or to take to a pot luck heated in a crock pot. Happy Thanksgiving. She used all the other same ingredients as yours. Yum, yum.
What a great idea making some in muffin cups, definitely doing that this year. Thanks Kathy
Great idea thank you for sharing
she was wonderful
Yes! They never know. My Mama always put boiled eggs in her dressing but I don't like them in there because the whites turn to rubbery texture.
My mom did the same thing, would cook the celery and onions with the giblets and then put the veggies in the blender and I still do it that way 😅
I also lost my Dear Mama in early 2020, and Mrs. Lori is a Precious beautiful lady!And I Love her and Mr. Brown and all they teach us! Bless you this holiday season. And always.
I’m sorry about your Mom. Praying peace for you and your family. 🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️
I’m making gumbo for Thanksgiving. The kids will eat turkey at other homes so this will be something different at my house. You know, whether I’m cooking what you’re making or not, I listen because I love hearing your voice while you talk about cooking. It’s so calming.
Thank you
Miss Lori brings peace to our wearied souls.
We are having gumbo for the third year. It has worked out so well.
Miss Laurie is so sweet ❤
I do this to. I mean I have made her recipes before but I just love to "hear" her speak. Her voice is so soothing and her message and love just come right through the screen. Mary's Nest is another channel that I do this with. ❤
The Martha White mix is what I use to dredge my fried green tomatoes in! Makes them delish! It's harder to find it in Ohio and it's expensive! I've never used it to actually make cornbread with it because it is so expensive!
Leftover hot dog buns make great garlic bread to serve with a spaghetti dish!
Love the idea for the fried green tomatoes! I usually just use Zatairan's Fish Fry and add some flour to it but I'm gonna try your idea!
white lily buttermilk self-rising cornmeal mix is excellent. you can order it from Amazon.
U can make cornbread mixes up urself
So easy
U can use buttermilk to make it too
I would be happy to eat some of your dressing. It’s pretty similar to mine, with a few small differences. I learned from my mother, who learned from her mother. This will be my first Thanksgiving without my mom, who passed away six months ago. I really enjoy watching you and Mr. Brown. God bless y’all.
Before I retired, for our holiday luncheon I always volunteered to make the dressing, gravy and turkey and everyone thought I was crazy to volunteer to prepare the stars of the table. What they didn't know was this part was so EASY. Just easy!!!! Cook in shifts then just throw everything together the morning of the luncheon. To kinda make sure celery and onions are tender, I chop, store in fridge then microwave with homemade chicken broth. When bread mixture is seasoned I just pour veggies mixture into cornbread mixture and it's ready for the oven. I also add eggs to dressing. I NEVER had leftovers. As a matter of fact I heard so many times that it was just like their Grandma's dressing. What a compliment!! A dear friend was diagnosed with cancer and unable to eat, she asked me to make her a pan of dressing. She go a pan big enough to feed family and leftovers to freeze in small containers to have anytime she craved dressing. Such a blessing to be able to help during a time you feel so helpless. Ladies, don't make dressing hard, it's one of the ultimate comfort dishes and super easy to make, and it feeds so many for such an economical expense. Loved our little visit today and thanks for all your hard work and sharing. Christian love and prayers to you and yours.
This is a ps to my 1st comment!!! If I didn't know better I'd say you have looked over my shoulder and took notes on how to make dressing and gravy. Just like I do mine. People just have no idea how good this is, sooooo good. Also if you have leftover gravy, by adding just a couple more things, it can be used to make chicken pot pie filling. Don't throw out those leftovers, just add a few more ingredients and have another great fish/meal.
I add a can of cream of chicken soup to my dressing. I found myself without enough chicken broth when making dressing once, so I added a can of cream of chicken soup out of desperation. Well, I loved the creamy texture and taste, so I add it every time now.
A happy mistake!
I do the same. Otherwise, my dressing is almost just like Lori's, except I don't saute the onions.
Me too, for exactly the same reason. I put my onions and celery in the cornbread before I bake it
@@annseabolt6645 I'll have to try that!
Thats what my mom did about 20 years ago for the same reason we always have it that way now!
This is almost the same dressing my Mother taught me to make. I don’t think I could make cornbread without Martha White. I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season. We feel safe enough to finally get back together this year. Love to you and Mr. Brown.
Safe enough?
@@thelmahenriques6454 Covid.
I found a trick years ago to tone down the sagey greeness to southern dressing. You put your spices, sage, rosemary, thyme, etc, in your cornbread when your baking it. Turns out golden. Makes a pretty dressing.
Some of us in my family use this method too! 😊
My mom bakes her celery and onions in her cornbread (my hubby is allergic to onion so I use powder instead)
I sprinkle my poultry seasoning and sage over the cornbread and sandwich bread that is setting out to dry and always perfect amount.
@@iamhis1594 I do the same starting the day before.
Yep...that's the way my family does it too.
This reminds me a lot of my late mother's dressing recipe. She always put chicken and boiled eggs in hers and she would have me taste the mixture before she cooked it to make sure there wasn't too much sage in it too. This brings back some great memories!
Every family has their favorite dressing recipe. Yours sounds so good. My siblings and I loved our mothers homemade from scratch dressing. The best I recall she cooked the gibbets and wings from the turkey. She saved her left over biscuits and used them along with the chopped up gibbets and wing meat, black pepper, salt and the broth from the gibbets and roasted turkey and made dressing. Her dressing went to her grave with her. It was the best to me.
That cornbread dressing looks like a meal on its own, what a wonderful recipe. Only 3 of us for christmas dinner this year and they don't like dressing/stuffing but I'm so tempted to make some just for me. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in Scotland but I do wish you all a Happy, Healthy Thanksgiving xxx
I’ve been making cornbread dressing for 50 years and I make mine almost the same way Lori does except I don’t add Chicken because like you said it would be more like a meal but everyone makes there’s different I make a double batch because I’m usually feeding around 30 people and I like to have leftover’s cornbread dressing is my favorite
It is a meal on its own! ;)
You will love the dressing - join us in the US - everyone needs to be grateful for all their blessings !! Love Scotland as . . .
@@sandragreen9560 I do love cornbread dressing I just made 4 pans of it for all my family and I’m very thankful for the many blessings in my life
You should make you some just because. I make it whenever the mood strikes me to. 😅
My Mama always said, "the greasier the stock, the tastier the dressing". I like it very moist before cooking. Thank you Ms. Lori for this refresher course on making this wonderful traditional dish.
First had cornbread dressing from my mother in law. She was from Arkansas. Thought it was so strange until I tasted it. Never looked back. I make my own now and don’t have a recipe. You are so right on the herbs. Go easy. My favorite year was when I used leftover croissant. Oh my. Thanks for the lesson!
Thank you for your video! I used to call my Mom every Thanksgiving to ask again how much broth she added and how to know when it was enough. She's been in heaven for 11 yrs, and I'm sure she would agree your dressing looks just like hers! Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving
My Momma let her cornbread and sandwich bread dry out before adding the broth. She added more eggs and almost covered the dry ingredients with broth and covered to steep to absorb the broth. She poured dressing over turkey picked off the bone, placed on the bottom of baking dish and always turned out perfectly moist and holding together. Yours looks delicious too. 😋
I’m excited to finish this later :). My family just moved to southeast Missouri, so probably not too far from y’all. We got a nice homestead and getting back to the simple things and raising our kids in the Lord in the country. We are on our own out here, but my granny loved the Lord and she used to make the best dressing! Sometimes I feel a tad lonely for her as the holidays approach - I’ve had to figure out how to make her dressing, and I’ve done decent since I have nobody to ask- so this year I think I’ll add some crackers to it.
Happy Thanksgiving
Same here fullypersuaded. We moved here to southern MO too and we have a homestead and we are alone. So welcome, and I hope you find happiness here. Happy Thanksgiving!
@@cjblack5925 same to you! ❤️ Happy Thanksgiving.
This recipe of yours has been around the world from your video, to my pen, to my friends and relatives in the military. I got your first book and I'm still using it to feed my family, which includes 7 great grandchildren with picky tastebuds; but they eat any recipe I cook from your book. You and Mr. Brown are children compared to me and my husband of 62 years, but I love trying your recipes and learning new techniques because I have the opinion I'll never get too old to learn something new. Thanks for being the sweet Christian lady you are and the wonderful cook, who's willing to share their gift.
Thank you for your kind words
Makes me so happy!
What a wonderful recipe to share. This is like legacy-level dressing. It should be passed down from generation to generation.
My mother started adding chicken to the dressing several years ago and my family loved it. She is now 85 years old, so I have taken on the honor of cooking for them on Thanksgiving and I have carried on her recipe which is much like yours. Thank you for all your videos! Please keep them coming. Hugs and blessings to you and your family. Happy Thanksgiving
I love watching cooking videos, not just to learn new cooking tips and recipes, but also because it makes me feel as if I'm connecting with people from all over. Regional specialities are my favourite and the accents are so much fun. You're lovely Ms. Lori!
I totally agree!
When I was a kid growing up we always had giblet gravy over fresh biscuits, and still is one of my favorites.
I make giblet gravy to pour over dressing. I was given the recipe by my MIL. Giblets gravy is a family tradition.
Oh my! That’s a great idea! Make some sage biscuits and put giblet gravy over or even regular gravy (I always have twice-monthly broth on hand).
Eliminates whole hassle of making stuffing!! But the taste is perfect I bet. We love actual stuffing from bread cubes, no cornbread in it, no mush & no meat or eggs in it as we re having turkey & devilled eggs with it.
Gotta make rolls or biscuits to have with dinner anyway so this would just ease up a lot on dinner prep! TY
God bless you, Miss Lori. I'm trying to stretch my pennies right now. Food has become so expensive. I'm following your wonderful advice and making our holiday meal with what I have on hand. Thank you for all these wonderful side recipes.
My mom was the master of southern dressing (Texas). I was always the helper (crumble cornbread and bread). Because all of her kids loved it, she made it in stock pot. (All the way up to my elbows). She never measured her ingredients. I have had some flops and last year it worked out. She did not put meat in her dressing. But everything else is spot on. So no matter what we have (traditional or not) for Thanksgiving and Christmas, I get to bring dressing and banana pudding. Thank you!
Our dressing never had meat in it but we had the meat on the side. We always had the true giblet gravy. It was my job to pick the meat off the neck and cut up the liver, gizzard, heart and boiled eggs.
My family doesn’t like the gravy that way and I miss having it that way.
Sure makes me hungry for thanksgiving dinner. Thank you. 🥰
Thank you so much for all your hard work and sharing your knowledge with your recipes, you really touched my heart I lost my husband 11 years ago and he loved his gravey with all the giblets, hearts and eggs the southern way, God bless you and your family .
Thanks for wearing your microphone...it really makes the difference...love you all..praise the Lord!
This is how my MIL made her dressing. I've been struggling to get it just right. You've helped me figure out what I've been doing wrong. Her cornbread was always crumbled up fine and she only used broth in hers too. She did add chopped boiled eggs. Thank you!
Im from Louisiana and my family put chopped boiled eggs also! Im thinking it’s a louisiana thing or southern in certain areas. It was like this but she added sauté bell pepper n green onion to her veggie mix.
My Moma used chopped boiled eggs also. I sure miss helper her make dressing.
Fascinating to see how people across our amazing and diverse country make their stuffing/dressing. Looks like it's quite tasty Ms. Lori!
I have yet to see anyone who does it like my momma. Very interesting. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving. I wish you and your family an abundance of blessings.♥️
Nothing like southern dressing and gravy and I’m with you Lori .. must have cranberry sauce !! I wish you and Mr.Brown and family a blessed Thanksgiving !!
Try cran n orange chutney .
This dressing could be used as a main course with veggies or a side salad! I can smell it from here! Yum!
Oh yes!
This looks delicious and I bet the aroma in your home was so inviting. Just love fall/winter recipes. Thank you Miss Lori for this.
Looking so forward to watching you each time. Y'all are such a blessing, and I thank God for you. 😘❤️
I love cornbread dressing😊 I make it the same way you do and I learned from my mom who made the best! she had a tradition every Christmas, she would call my brother who lived right beside her and he would come up and taste test it and if he approved of it …that was it and it was always the best😂😂 Happy Thanksgiving to you and Mr. Brown
Holidays are so different now. We all used to cook our specialty casseroles and bring them to Moms house. Now it's just me, everyone else has passed away. What used to be such a happy time is now so sad. Trying your recipes really helps lift my spirits and I get to try them out on my sons.son's. Thank you very much for sharing.
God Bless, Have a Blessed Thanksgiving
I don't know if this is wrong or what but I save my broth from pork , chicken & turkey from all year, & that's what I make my Thanksgiving dressing with. Nobody really knows it's a mixture & in fact I think its really good. It also makes good gravy. I never waste anything. Even though I can cook, I always watch to see what you're doing & still learn from you. Love, love, love your channel. Happy Holidays to you & your family 🤗
Oh I bet it's a rich good broth!
Deffinitely not wrong! Unique touches are what makes it YOURS❤
U don’t put chicken in?
If u do, the broth can come from it.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah Yes , I said chicken also
@@janetclassen1144 instead of using saved broth, use the broth made from cooking the chicken- for the dressing
This reminds me so much of helping my grandma cook. She cooked a lot like you do. She made some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. It wasn’t fancy but it always was delicious and comforting. There are two things I would dearly love to taste of her again and that’s her tomato preserves jam, and her potato doughnuts!
Ms. Lori, you are such a blessing to your friends and family! This looks delicious 🤤 😋🥰 God bless y’all ❤️😇🙏🏻✝️
Such a pleasure for this "northerner" to get to see how other parts of the country cook. Thanks so very much for sharing.
I’d give both my legs to have a woman like this but then she wouldn’t have me cause I ain’t got no legs. Gloom, despair & agony on me. ❤️
Mrs Lori, your family is blessed to have you, your love and devotion, not always easy when it gets busy. Great video and ideas. Have a great TG!
Cornbread Dressing is the best! My granny always saved me the corner piece. 😋
LOVE LOVE ❤️ I make my Mom's & Grandma gravy with the gizzards,liver,heart,neck, eggs, thank you for sharing GOD BLESS you and Mr Brown ❤️
Thank Miss Lori. This is just like my Moma's and Grandma's dressing except they both added chopped eggs. I use to make the giblets gravy but no one wanted to eat it with the giblets in it. I never thought of doing it this way. I will give it a try this year. Happy Thanksgiving to you Mr. Brown and everyone here. God bless everyone.
My momma always added chopped eggs too! She also
did the recipe basically the same way as Miss Lori:)
I know I like your dressing,because you and I make it just alike. It’s always good to see you and Mr. Brown. I just love your home stead, it looks so quiet and peaceful. Your chickens just soothe my heart. I know it will never happen,but I would love to set on your porch and just have a quiet conversation with two people that I have known and loved for 5 or more years. I will be glad when you both retire soon and just relax. You deserve it. I send my love , have fun with your grandkids over the holidays and take care, watch out for the mean ole flu , I am just getting over it, love ya,
Would Love to sit with you too!
Wish I would be sitting at your Thanksgiving table this year! Yum!
This looks so delicious. My favorite food at Thanksgiving is cornbread dressing and giblet gravy. I live in western North Carolina and I’m not finding giblets ANYWHERE. I hope I can find some before Thanksgiving. Miss Lori, I can see why your friends hire you to make their dressing. God bless you and Mr. Brown and your family.
I'm with u girl I love giblet gravy with giblets!
Hint: they're inside the turkey or a whole chicken or hen. ;)
Raised on cornbread dressing ( grown up in West Texas.. still live here) my mom always tested it for seasoning and I do too. We don't put any type of meat tho. I bet it is yummy tho! I wish you and your family and anyone reading this a very Blessed Thanksgiving!
Hello fellow Texan 👋 I grew up in West Texas as well 👍 what town do you live in?
@@suejohnson3972 I was born and raised in Midland and now in Sweetwater
Wow I use way more seasoning. Plus more onions and celery and broth from cooking the giblets. Its sooo good!
This southern cornbread dressing and gravy looks so scrumptious. Your videos are so peaceful and comforting Ms Lorie I just love ya ♥️
Thanks Miss Lorie for the video. Even after 50 years of making dressing and gravy, a refresher is welcomed! Now the giblet gravy is a must for me and mince them finely. My son and wife are hosting Thanksgiving this year. First time I haven't cooked a turkey in decades.....LOL the millennials are taking over but nothing compares to good ole southern cooking by mom and grandmom
Well, let th.do the hard work, and you enjoy!
You are a pro and people hiring you to make them things prove it. 💖 It looks delicious! Stuffing is my favorite!🧡 I hope you all have a very blessed Thanksgiving week and holiday.🦃🍽️ Love ya!🧡🌻🍂
I make mine just exactly like that without the seasonings. I put more celery and onion but mostly it is the same. And I have a friend that begs me for a tray of dressings. I have made it for her family festivities. It is delicious. Sometimes I use a rotisserie chicken to keep from cooking chicken. It is a meal all unto itself.
I'm going to try this. Stuffing is one thing I have not ever managed to get exactly right but I did make this recipe a few weeks ago and it was great except (for me) way too much sage and poultry seasoning. I've been debating whether to leave it all out or use smaller amount but your version sounds like the right thing to do. Thanks! (Oh also I did not add chicken to it.)
Oh my goodness Ms. Lori. The dressing and gravy looks delicious.. I would love to have a plate of it right now. Looking forward to some more recipes. Have a great weekend.
Miss Lori, thank you for your kind sweet voice & gentle way. In these troubled times- I know when I’m feeling troubled I get thinking it’s time to see what’s happening at Whippoorwill Holler. Between you and the Lord it settles me! I hope you , your wonderful husband and precious family have a joyful, blessed Thanksgiving! ❤️Nana from Wyoming

Ms. Lori I love Cornbread dressing & that’s what I make., My Mother used to Stuff the Turkey and I like it that way better but they always talking about that way is bad, I will not put it in the Turkey for that reason., Thanks For Sharing Ms. Lori 11-18-2022♥️
You bring happiness to all those watching you. It's comforting to know there are good people all around who want to share what they've learned.
This is the only dressing I ever make!! Yours is my very favorite. I do it the way you said last time with celery season and onion powder. Love y’all happy thanksgiving to y’all!!!❤❤❤
You remind me of my mama ❤ ty for sharing your love with us. There is a world of us adult orphans that love you and Mr. Brown. My granny was from Benton and my big mama was from North Carolina. Big love to both of you.
I make a huge batch of cornbread dressing each year around Thanksgiving. I make enough to fill anywhere from 10 to 12 aluminum cake pans. I keep one for Thanksgiving day and the rest go into the freezer. My husband and I love it and we decided a few years ago, if we are going to go to the trouble of making it, we are going to make enough so that we can eat it all year long. This year I used 4 recipes of cornbread, 5 lbs of chicken thighs, 5 lbs of chicken breasts and 2 cartons of chicken gizzards, loads of onions, green onions and garlic. I also use around a gallon to a gallon and a half of chicken broth. It usually takes all day but we think it’s worth it. Happy Thanksgiving.
Mrs Lori, You make cooking look as easy as falling off a log... when i start cooking it takes me to a harder higher level. TY for sharing your fav Thanksgiving recipes & especially ur techniques.
Mrs Lori, I agree about keeping it simple, this year. Last year, I stressed about making all of these different side dishes and casseroles. All my family wanted to eat was the basics: the turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, and dressing. My kids didn’t want the different casseroles. 🤷♀️ So, I am keeping it simple and basic, this year.
We would make cornbread to go with pinto beans a couple of times before Thanksgiving and save all our left over biscuits or bread to make dressing with. I agree, a hen is really flavorful. Old birds are the best tasting!
Thank you Miss Lori for this recipe! I usually make homemade turkey cornbread dressing for Thanksgiving, but I really want to try this one of yours. It looks scrumptious.
I so appreciate the tips you offer your subscribers, because I think I have been putting too much sage in my dressings.
Also, I just wanted to mention I'm very familiar with the giblet gravy. My Kentucky upbringing influenced all my country & southern cooking. And my precious Momma used to make the gravy for every Thanksgiving & Christmas. It was always special & delicious!
Have a blessed weekend! ❤
Thank you
My mom passed away in 2021 and I can never get my dressing to taste like hers but this recipe looks exactly the way she made hers so I'm trying this one this year. The only differences are she always baked her chopped celery and onions right into the cornbread and she used her broth but omitted the chicken. Thanks for the memories. Happy Thanksgiving 2023 everyone🦃
My mom always added all those chopped giblets to her stuffing. She chopped them and sautéed them in butter with onions and celery and then mixed it into the dry ingredients. You would have loved it. But I didn’t 😂😂😂
my momma did it this way too.
Being from Georgia, I make my dressing pretty much the same way! I learned from my Grannies n Mama! I like a good moist dressing to! I can eat it by itself it's so good! Thank you Miss Lori for your recipe! God Bless You n Mr Brown 🙏🙏❤❤
Oh Lawd!! This looks so good! I can hardly wait until Thanksgiving! ❤
Your recipes are so comforting and remind me of my dearly departed mama as well. God Bless You ❤
I love to use this cornmeal mix too! So easy and good. Your dressing sounds so good!
Mom use to make this for Thanksgiving.I am one of 5 children. Mom never used exact measurements. This seems close. She did say use a hen for heartier broth. Mom over years developed dementia. And recently passed away in 2021. She was from Alabama and made alot of Southern passed down meals. Thank you Ms Lori for sharing this recipe. I watch you all the time. Need more small batch cooking recipes for 2.
Miss Lori
I recently found your CZcams videos. I love them. My family is from Tennessee and I appreciate your way of life and your recipes and your love for the Lord. Thank you
Thank you
What a beautiful dressing!
This is just like my Granny taught me to made dressing. I usually freeze some cornbread and then use it when I start to make dressing...just because time get so much more important the closer I get to Thanksgiving! 🤣💕
Good evening! Your Cornbread Dressing with chicken and Giblet Gravy (minus the giblets) look delicious!!! Hubby and I love Cornbread Dressing with the works: Giblet Gravy and Cranberry sauce!!! It's only two of us, so I half the recipe. I bet yours tastes as good as it looks!!! Living in Louisiana I used to make a Cajun Cornbread Dressing recipe by Chef Prudhomme that was good, but growing up in Texas I like the traditional southern version better!!! Thanks for sharing!!! ❤️ Have a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving!!!
Chicken and dumplings and cornbread dressing are my 2 best tasting dishes. I remember being in the kitchen every holiday helping mama cook and I love those memories. I was her helper and had to crumble all the cornbread, de-bone the boiled chicken, boil the eggs and chop them, wash and chop the green onions and have all the spices laid out for her. In my opinion, that's the right way to learn. After making my own for quite a few years and little tweaks here and there, I'm proud to say that my dressing tastes as good as mama's. And that's saying something because mama is one of the best cooks ever.
Miss Lori, that looks so good, and the gravy, my mouth is watering! May you and Mr. Brown have a blessed Thanksgiving.
My Mama passed in 2013. She loved to cook and was an awesome cook. She made this gravy and I can't find her recipe. She didn't put hard boiled eggs in hers. Her trick was to add a couple drops of yellow food coloring. This made it pretty She told me. Your gravy reminds me of hers. Thanks ... I will try it. Nothing hurts like loosing mom. I like to make things She made. It makes us 😊.
I taste test after the broth and before I put the eggs in. I also put boiled egg in mine.
I am always so inspired by your cooking!! Love your channel and the peace of you and your home. What a joy to spend at any time watching you cook and teach us. You have the most amazing collection of cooking ware, bowls, tools, ect. I just love it all!!! God Bless you and Danny!!! Psalm 91. Dana
Thank you so much
Hello Ms Lori….this recipe sounds delicious. Thank you. Connie from Michigan
Even though Im from Northern Kentucky, my MOMMOW, then my Mama made the exact SAME cornbread dressing you do! I am almost in tears. My mama passed 4 years ago and all my great Aunts (11) and Mommow are in Heaven, too, I miss them so very much during the holidays, singing, cooking, always laughing and praying over someone. I was so blessed and trust me, Miss Lori, you and Pa Brown would have been just like my family at our Holiday meals. Thank you for a years worth of wisdom and knowledge and know that I wish you and your family a lovely Thanksgiving and a beautiful Holiday season.🦃🦃🙏💙🌞💚🕊💚😔😇 Love, Susun🌞💕💓💞
Thank you so much, we appriciate your kindness so much!
Thank you Miss Lori. I watched a black man make his dressing and his was very moist too before baking. Kind of soppy. So that must be the key. My dressing has always been dry after cooked. I need to add more broth in it. I love how the black ppl cook, they have good tasting food too! Especially greens that I crave so much.
!!!
Why you say BLACK MAN a COOK is still a MAN ! Why
@@margaretenglish1110 Lady, that was a compliment. Why are you offended?
You made me smile and my heart full when you talked about hard-core gravy. My Mama always had hard boiled eggs/sliced in her gravy.❤❤❤
Miss Lori I was so happy to see your new video today and as always you look amazing. You and Mr.Brown are such heartfelt people. I wish you could make a video on some old chirtmas candies. The one I love is called winter green candy. Not sure if you call it that but that's so good of a candy. I could watch you all day making candy 🍬and bake goodies I could live off the homemade goodies. Love you and Mr.Brown. hope to see more videos of Mr.Brown talking about his childhood stories. Plus love his Bible study 📖 time. Love always tara and kendall cox from five islands nova scoita Canada 🇨🇦❤😍
Thank you
