Paula Deen is an inspiration, a joy and a pleasure. I recently read her story and was so inspried by her success, as I am going through a very tough time emotionally/financially due to my daughter's chronic illness. I want Paula to know how much reading her story helped me and made me love her even more upon hearing how she is still so sweet, kind and charitable in spite of her enormous success/fame. I wish her, and her entire family and loved ones a Blessed Thanksgiving. Thank you Paula.

dear Paula, seeing a recipe for stuffing that was not cornbread was a joy. I have made my mother's and her mother's before her white bread dressing for over 50 years now, and my family loves it. I was amazed to see your Good Old Country Stuffing was virtually the same recipe! Wow! Thank you for being you!!

I am truely sorry I wouldn't eat5 either of these dressing or stuffing which ever you wantr to call it, I call it dressing myself, but mine is turkey dressing or chicken dressing, my mother had made these all my life well all my life before she passed away and are so good so gooddddd yummmmm. Turkey is added to one and chicken in the other one. I hope this rating thing is for mine not for yours, your wouold only get a one from me, like i said am sorry and don't mean to sound mean or hateful or rude.

I make this every year now. Everyone loves it. I have to take it everywhere I go. I have a split family so I make a lot of it, but it's so worth it...
