Martha White hotrize. The only corn meal my mamma ever used in her 98yrs of living. Loss her this year and missing her so. When I see things that remind me of her, I can't help going down memory lane.
Yummy, when I was young, everyone gathered at my parents' house on Thanksgiving. There were eight of us kids. As the years progressed, husbands, wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, and grandchildren were added to the mix. My Dad passed away in 2003, and Thanksgiving dinner was moved to my home where we still gather for dinner. Thank you for sharing your family stories and your recipes, MeMe. 🙂♥️
I’ve been a Martha White Hot Rize user for most of my 51 years of marriage. It’s the best, in my opinion. Your dressing is almost identical to mine. My North Carolina mama taught me how. Thank you for bringing sunshine into our lives with your videos. Shine for Jesus!
MeMe, you took me back. We chewed on sugar cane in south Louisiana as a treat. During fall cane season, my father would find himself following a big cane truck and inevitably a stalk or two would fall off the back. He'd stop, pick up a fresh-cut stalk, bring it home and peel it for us. We'd chew chunks and enjoy the sweet cane juice. What a great memory you've given me! This is my cornbread dressing recipe, modified from Ms. Deen's Southern Cornbread Dressing recipe. Like her, I add saltines and stale bread cubes to my cornbread, plus bell pepper and a lot of Cajun seasoning! Happy Thanksgiving!
We chewed on Sugar Cane when we were kids too. The Heritage Syrup Festival was held last Saturday in Henderson, Texas. They demonstrate how to make the syrup the old fashioned way. It was so much fun and very informative!
I made two pans about two weeks ago and put them in the freezer, I’m 70 yrs old and I learned how to make dressing from my granmaw when I was just a little girl, she always sautéed her celery and onions first before adding them to it,
I think that’s my favorite thing I make for Thanksgiving supper. I love it with giblet gravy and cranberry sauce. I’d be happy if that’s all I had to eat. We have so much to be thankful for! God bless you MeMe. ❤
wish I knew how to make giblet gravy. My mothers cornbread dressing and giblet gravy was 10/10 and sadly she passed before sharing her recipes with us. this recipe seems to resemble hers from what I remember of it
I just love you and all your recipes!! I have your books and we enjoy them more than any other cook books we have! We love the Lord and try to always shine for Him!
Oh Mimi!!! You reminded me of my sweet mama. When I was learning to make dressing, she told to add enough broth until you think it almost too soupy. I sure miss my mama.
Absolutely correct, everyone who has ever watched me make dressing is amazed at how soupy it is when it goes in the oven, they swear I have ruined it lol.
I bought exactly what I need to make this for Thanksgiving, can’t wait to try it. I also wanted to mention that I love hearing stories of times past. My daddy would tell us all sorts of neat things, like loading the furnace with coal, skimming the cream off the top of the milk to have heavy cream, and of course walking to and back from school, uphill both ways,lol, stuff like that. I could listen to those stories for hours. We lost him a little over two years ago, so this video made me a tad sad, but a little happy too. Thank you for the great tutorial.
Thank you for your dressing recipe. I love your memory when you helped make what we call molasses. My grandfather made molasses just like you described. My dad helped him with the sugar cane. They sold a can of molasses for a quarter. My dad loved his molasses!
I can smell it through the phone! You make it exactly the way my momma used to make hers, God rest her soul. Glad I found this video because I’m cooking the Thanksgiving dinner this year.
You are a beautiful person. Thank you for being you. Reminds me of Old Grandma as we called her. She was my grandma via a marriage that has ended, but her love for Jesus and her amazing cooking, watching you brings me peace
I am one of those odd folks who actually prefers a cloudy day over a sunny one. I'm also a big fan of rainy days. Love me some cornbread dressing. Wish we had it more often. My sister-in-law is the dressing expert in our family. She makes two versions - a regular one and then a jalapeno one (my favorite).
@@carolannunderhill8459 No way! That is KK, and she does the videoing, and she is great. Those of us who view regularly love her. These videos wouldn't be nearly as good without her contributions.
Hi MeMe. I loved this video. I always sautéed the celery and onion with the butter but you have saved time for me. Just puree the celery and onion and add. Perfect. Plus I did not know you can freeze it. Your dressing looked so delicious. I bet working with the sugar cane is a wonderful memory. I still remember my childhood big family dinners. I remember when I could sit at the big table and not at the card table.😊 My grandpa was a school teacher and us cousins had to recite the multiplication tables through the 12's. 😮 I love your pretty top. Your videos make me happy. Hugs.😊❤
I loved MeMe’s story and I found a video of L W Paul Living History Farm. SC. they are making the syrup with the mule and stones as she described. What a fantastic memory. We need to share those stories more . I used to tell my Dad he was a piece of living history. 🤣🤣. He described the memories of his WW1 childhood. And my grandfather described the sound of clogs on the cobbled streets of the mill town in Lancashire UK waking him up as the workers made their way to the woollen mill. Tell us some more MeMe!!
That dressing looks so good! It is my favorite dish at Thanksgiving. If I had to choose, I'd take another serving of dressing over dessert (unless there was pecan pie)🤔🤣 My SIL makes the best dressing😋
What a treasure you are, MeMe. ❤ I wish had a MeMe growing up. I LOVE your amazing Hobo Cornbread recipe; I make it just about every week, and I add it to traditional dressing and as topping for a chicken casserole. It adds so much to regular dressing!! It's delicious added to buttermilk too. Happy Thanksgiving, precious family.
You just proved to me I was making mine right. Except for pureeing my celery and onion. I fry my celery and onion using the “stick of butter” and always bake a skillet of cornbread. I also use sage and a lil bit of black pepper. I’m the designated dressing maker. I learned from watching beautiful and great cooks just like you, my Mom (the oldest of 12) and Mamaw. Your soul shines bright, MeMe!! 🙏 ❤
I use my mama's recipe, although she didn't go by a recipe. She used Pepperidge farms herb dressing mix and their cornbread mix. She added celery, onions and bell pepper, boiled eggs, chopped hen and lots of broth from the hen. It was so good! I've been to many cane grindings. They are so very fun. They had "dog candy" that comes off before syrup completely makes. I love the way you tell stories and I love your videos. Keep blessing us, MeMe!
Happy Thanksgiving Meme and Kaykay! I love old fashioned Southern cornbread stuffing and this recipe is soooo easy! I use a similar recipe but I also add sage sausage, a few other spices and some button mushrooms. I'm sure your little ones would balk at the mushrooms! Haha! So delicious!
Looks really good. My mom and I love dressing. I started a new tradition years ago. Instead of just having it Thanksgiving and Christmas, we would also have it every Easter,
Your dressing is exactly like my mama made. I remember after Thanksgiving dinner going out and watching my grandpa make cane syrup. And he also had a mule to turn the stones! This was in south Mississippi.
I can’t wait to try this for Thanksgiving with my family. It looks pretty tasty. Thank you for sharing your recipe!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family
What precious memories of Thanksgivings past. I enjoy your channel so very much! You remind me so much of my sweet grandmother that has gone to be with the Lord many years ago. Oh how I miss her! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Thank you for the trip down memory lane with the cane syrup story. My Mema and papa were from East Georgia and we would have “cane stirrings” at their farm. The whole community would come. It was definitely a social event. Precious memories!
The dressing looked yummy! Ms Meme you blessed my soul. You are a lovely person and the person behind the camera has an infectious laugh. God bless y’all!!😍🙏🏾 I’m a new subscriber.
Oh! Diane, my granddaddy made syrup just like you described! I loved when he would peel the sugar cane and give it to me to chew on!!! I might have been 5 years old! I remember it like yesterday ❤ Thank you for the beautiful memories ❤
MeMe, you're making me hungry! Dressing and giblet gravy with lots of chopped boiled eggs poured over it with cranberry sauce is my favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal. Ummmm....can't wait! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. And, thanks for giving me the idea of pureeing the celery. I will try that. Thanks so much! I really enjoy watching you and listening to your stories! Take care! 🍁😊🍁
Very close to my favorite dressing recipe. I am glad you have a hint of sage. Too much isn't good but I love a hint of it. I add cream of Chicken soup to mine in addition to the chicken broth. There is a recipe that was from a slave Lady who made great Dressing in the deep south, Fannie Pressley. It was a most requested recipe in Southern Living Magazine decades ago. It's very siimilar to ours Meme. Have a great Thanksgiving and all of your family and friends enjoy the Holidays!
This is like my late Momma's and my late mother in laws. You remind me so much of them both. Thank you for being you. I miss Christian elders nowadays. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Love from a Mamaw in Ky.
Hey MeMe, I know your family loves squash. My sweet mother-in-law made squash dressing throughout the year for part of Sunday lunch. She just added cooked and chopped squash to her regular dressing recipe. It was fabulous especially with a ham dinner. It is a wonderful side dish-such a welcome addition to a regular Sunday meal and loved by all of us.
I want your cookbooks. We're having your dressing for our Thanksgiving. I need help with gravy recipe and demonstration. Please. Watching you brings a smile to my face.
I’m so glad I watched this because being the goofus that I am, I’ve always frozen dressing in freezer bags never thinking about freezing it in a pan lol. Love your videos! There’s nothing better than cane sugar!
You are a dear! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful childhood memory & giving us insight into your lovely family. Many blessings and love to y’all! I’m from Ontario but now I’m saying y’all😂❤
Oh I love your Mimi!!! Reminds me of my sweet mama!! My mama told the ole time stories as well! I miss her and. all her stories!! Give her a big hug for me. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! Jesus is king!! ❤🙏
Mimi you are amazing! You cook good ole down home food. I love dressing but I usually doctor up some Peppridge Farms with celery, onions, butter, broth from the turkey and chicken broth. I use a bag of each mixed together, the herb & cornbread type. Everyone loves it but you are making me think about making my own now! ❤
Thank you for making it soupy. There's nothing worse than dry cornbread dressing. It literally chokes me. Also, thank you for calling it dressing not stuffing.
My parents were both from Grandview, Missouri,a suburb of Kansas City. They learned about cornbread after they moved to Arkansas as newlyweds. Upon eating it for the first time Dad thought he’d died and gone to heaven. We always had both cornbread dressing and bread dressing for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s dinner. I married an Utah man so we had the same thing as my parents. I made both cornbread dressing and bread dressing for those holidays. Of course, I made cornbread all the time, even when I went to college in Utah. My roommates got used to my southern cooking. My husband and kids had it all the time.
A little advice to add more flavor...saute the veggies in butter and seasoning before adding it to the bread mixture. You could also add canned cream of chicken as well as seasoning salt and pepper.
Hello there MeMe. It is always a pleasure seeing you and watching your awesome videos 📸. This recipe looks so delicious 😋🤤 and it's one of my favorites. May you and your family have a wonderful blessed week. Thank you so very much for all of your hard work and dedication because it is very outstanding 💪👍
My neighbors from Orangeburg would make molasses each Thanksgiving and I used to love chewing on that sugar cane🎉 Years later I was able to rescue a giant cast iron pot that was used for cooking syrups and church stews. There’s nothing that cooks like cast iron!! Happy Thanksgiving y’all ❤
My mom made cornbread dressing while my grandmother made hers with stale bread that she kept in her freezer some extra biscuits and left over cornbread she added onions celery and would add one or two boiled potatoes cubed she sometimes added oysters or turkey neck and liver chopped. It was the ultimate side dish we all looked forward to.
Thank you!!! I've been racking my brain trying to remember the dressing I've made it more times than I can count but my memory isn't working lately lol Your recipe jarred my memory into action. It's the same as our family has made all these years
It's been many years since I saw mules pulling wagons or plows! We didn't have sugar cane in Aiken, though, so no mules turning a stone wheel! Thanks for this recipe. As usual, you've made me hungry and nostalgic at the same time! 😊
I use the broth from the turkey for my dressing and it’s so moist and delicious!!I am a mee mee too by the way and a new subscriber!❤ your dressing looks delicious and love your closing remarks to shine for Jesus!! Amen!!!🙏
You have brought back some memories! My Daddy would grow a patch of sugar cane some years. I remember him striping it and cutting a chunk for me to chew. The juice was so good.
Good Job Grandma You Sho Did That! Added That Butter Too Girlll I Do The Same I Add Cream Of Chicken And Cream Of Celery And You Talkin Bout Goood And Its Creamy And Not Stiff😂❤
Our hands are our best tools. I really enjoy your videos MeMe! You are a sweetheart ❤️! I've never made cornbread stuffing I make bread stuffing. I'll try your recipe. After my cataract surgery.
I love your childhood memories ❤, You should write a book on how you lived during those times! I would love to read about it! I just enjoy the stories behind the meals❤❤❤
Thank you MeMe. We don't do Thanksgiving here in South Africa, so I am making a turkey and this cornbread stuffing for the Christmas lunch tomorrow (will make the stuffing tomorrow so it is fresh). I am sure it's going to be a hit. Cornbread stuffing isn't common here, usually people use couscous so I am hoping to convert some people. Thank you for sharing these recipes and making us all smile and eat well!
I guess I'm an oddball, but cornbread dressing is not my husband's or my favorite dish. Once I grew up, I found I preferred the regular chicken stovetop stuffing so much better (the one without cornbread). It's a lot easier to make, too! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Martha White hotrize. The only corn meal my mamma ever used in her 98yrs of living. Loss her this year and missing her so. When I see things that remind me of her, I can't help going down memory lane.
❤
Honored to stir sweet memories.
@@jfitzgerald6039 so sorry for your loss. I lost mine at 97. It is so hard to give them up.
@sharicooper-michener8177 Yes, it is. We had them for so long.
Mine too Martha white😊
Meme, you are truly a southern blessing to us all! You are PRECIOUS!!
It's wonderful to see you and your daughter having fun, and to hear how precious your family has been to each other all through the years.
Thank you so much!😊

I’m cooking your dressing as we speak. I can’t wait to try it! Yours looks really southern like my grandmother used to make.
My family loves it.😋🙂👍🏻❤️
Mimi you are amazing! You cook good ole down home food. I love dressing but I usually doctor up some Peppridge Farms with celery, onions, butter, broth from the turkey and chicken broth.

I have to have some of those spatulas your using🥰 Where did you get those?? Love, love your videos and recipes!!
Look on my Amazon store
A little advice to add more flavor...saute the veggies in butter and seasoning before adding it to the bread mixture. You could also add canned cream of chicken as well as seasoning salt and pepper.
Thanks for the tips!
Hello there MeMe. It is always a pleasure seeing you and watching your awesome videos 📸. This recipe looks so delicious 😋🤤 and it's one of my favorites. May you and your family have a wonderful blessed week. Thank you so very much for all of your hard work and dedication because it is very outstanding 💪👍
Thank you so much… you are kind! ❤️
My neighbors from Orangeburg would make molasses each Thanksgiving and I used to love chewing on that sugar cane🎉 Years later I was able to rescue a giant cast iron pot that was used for cooking syrups and church stews. There’s nothing that cooks like cast iron!! Happy Thanksgiving y’all ❤
What a rescue! ❤️
Mama always adds one or two scrambled eggs to her dressing mix to bind it all together.
My mom made cornbread dressing while my grandmother made hers with stale bread that she kept in her freezer some extra biscuits and left over cornbread she added onions celery and would add one or two boiled potatoes cubed she sometimes added oysters or turkey neck and liver chopped. It was the ultimate side dish we all looked forward to.
Thank you!!! I've been racking my brain trying to remember the dressing
I've made it more times than I can count but my memory isn't working lately lol
Your recipe jarred my memory into action. It's the same as our family has made all these years
Happy I could “jog” that memory for you! ❤️ Happy Thanksgiving!
It's been many years since I saw mules pulling wagons or plows! We didn't have sugar cane in Aiken, though, so no mules turning a stone wheel! Thanks for this recipe. As usual, you've made me hungry and nostalgic at the same time! 😊
❤️❤️❤️

Such sweet hands. Reminds me of my mama.
Our hands are our best tools. I really enjoy your videos MeMe! You are a sweetheart ❤️! I've never made cornbread stuffing I make bread stuffing. I'll try your recipe. After my cataract surgery.
Pray you heal quickly! ❤️
You are such a joy MeMe 💕
Same goes for KayKay 💖
Blessings and Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Thank you! You too!❤️❤️
I love your childhood memories ❤, You should write a book on how you lived during those times! I would love to read about it! I just enjoy the stories behind the meals❤❤❤

Thank you MeMe. We don't do Thanksgiving here in South Africa, so I am making a turkey and this cornbread stuffing for the Christmas lunch tomorrow (will make the stuffing tomorrow so it is fresh). I am sure it's going to be a hit. Cornbread stuffing isn't common here, usually people use couscous so I am hoping to convert some people.
Thank you for sharing these recipes and making us all smile and eat well!
I hope they love it! 🎄❤️
I guess I'm an oddball, but cornbread dressing is not my husband's or my favorite dish. Once I grew up, I found I preferred the regular chicken stovetop stuffing so much better (the one without cornbread). It's a lot easier to make, too! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Variety is the spice of life!
I’ve never done it this way but boy I’m sure going to this year! Blessings
Oh, I love dressing. You make it just like my Mom and grandmother. Mmmmm!!!! 😇
