Dear Paula, thank you so much, I finally found an awesome (great) recipe for southern dressing. My husbands ninny always made the best for the holidays but kept her recipe a secret. She passed a couple years ago, bless her heart and soul. Now I have the chance to make the dressing. I cant wait to try your recipe. Thank you for sharing. I love your personality and would love to meet you.

Hello Paula, If I could adopt you as a Grandma I would because only Grandma's can make Southern Cornbread Stuffing this darn good. I have been making this Stuffing for the past 4 years and it has become a family favorite. I love you Paula Deen.!!!!!!!!

I have looked for years for a recipe just like what my 80 year old Tennessee Granny serves every year at Thanksgiving. I made this myself last year and it was just right! A little bit of the South comes to Pittsburgh.

Just wanted to say Paula you cook exactly like I do...This is exactly how I make my stuffing...I always tell people the secret to good stuffing is making the cornbread yourself instead of buying the dried bread stuffing mixes at the grocery....And your peach cobbler is exactly like I make mine also....NOthing Like SOUTHERN COOKS... Keep cooking up the good food... *Marsha*

Paula, Thank you so much for this recipe. It is so close to my mother's. She passed away before I could get her to write it down. I have a big family and we didn't know what we would do without Mom's dressing. I made this for Christmas last year and I don't think there was a dry eye or empty belly in the house. Thank you so much.
