great for me and uh also I’m cooking my chicken over here in this pot it’s chicken breast and um it is the kind that got the bone on it I get that kind for better flavor and so uh I usually cook it for about 15 minutes then I let it cool and then I break it up and um I add it to my dressing and so uh I’ve got some prep work to do today I’ve got to chop up my celery and my onions and um so let me get started on that and I’ll be back all right my uh chicken I’ve already got it deboned and it’s cooled and this right here is my chicken broth and um I put my celery and onion in it to let it get all softened up and so now I’m going to crumble up my cornbread and my biscuits so and uh this recipe will be in the description below um our family’s been making this dressing for years like this this is the way we like to make it I know a lot of people put different things in their dressing but we really don’t like cranberries and sausage and all that in ours but it’s however everybody’s different and everybody’s got their own way that they like [Music] theirs [Music] [Music] and when I make my dressing I usually put less biscuits in it than I do cornbread and the amounts of the cornbread and the biscuit will be in the recipe in the description below and um I think I’m just going to use about four of these today these were the best tasting biscuits when I made these biscuits I um also made me a sausage biscuit that morning and it was really good the reason I don’t put as much biscuit in it it’s it doesn’t I don’t like the texture in it if there’s more biscuits in it than cornbread I believe that might be enough biscuits right there let me wash my hands and I’ll be back okay so now I’m going to be adding in my sage we don’t like a whole lot of sage either we like some people put a lot of sage but we don’t like a whole lot okay now let me stir all this up think I have that stirred up good enough so now I’m going to add in my onion and chicken broth last year I [Music] about come around just like thatone is here to Cate one day we have our ups and downs but when there’s love there’s always a way and oh this time of year we come together to CBR yes every time

    When I was growing up, I always tried to help my mother cook. I always helped make the dressing. Alot of people do not really do not know how to make it. We used to have dressing all year round, not just at Thanksgiving. I love chicken breasts with the bone, they do have more flavor. Some grocery stores do not even sell them but the boneless. My mother would cook a larger whole chicken she called a hen. LOL She always put cornbread, day old bread toasted, pepperidge farm seasoning a few crackers, egg, sage, chicken broth and just a pinch of baking powder, why she did that I do not know. LOL My aunt used to say it made it fluffy. LOL I try to cook like my mother did and I do not stir it, I toss it. I put pats of butter on top, and it is really good frozen too. I learned so much from my mother, and at the holidays, I try to honor her memory and fix desserts like she used to make. I do not buy fresh coconuts anymore and grate them by hand, I use the frozen coconut. It is just as good. Holidays are especially hard for me because I miss my mother so much. I am going to try your recipe for dressing, it sounds so good. It is funny, I do not have a recipe, a little this and a little of that. I never thought I would be able to cook kinda like her. LOL I enjoy your videos so much. Marie and Calvin, yall are so special to me.

    Marie I make my dressing just exactly like you make yours, it really looks good. But I haven’t make any for a few years. Most everyone uses the store box stuff now, but I still like the old fashion way. God bless, have a good Thanksgiving, I send my love and prayers.

  3. @lucretiawithsadness

    Looks so delicious! I live in the North and we call it stuffing, but I would love your old fashioned cornbread dressing! You are an amazing cook!

  4. @paulabowie8325

    That dressing looks delicious, I live alone so will cut the recipe down, but it’s a must try! Thank you Marie for sharing!

  8. @oliversmom9509

    Dressing.. Mmm mmm. I love cream of chicken soup. It makes yummy gravy and a base for pot pie. You’re making me hungry 😋🦃. I’m starting my baking tomorrow.
    Have a Blessed Evening and Thanksgiving if I don’t get back. But you know I will 😬🌻

  9. @debbieskitchen2

    I used to make my own cornbread too and make cornbread like Momma did. I now buy the Pepperidge Farms cornbread stuffing mix. Looks good Marie.

  13. @lonniejones5040

    Wonderful cornbread and chicken dressing!!! I already have my cornbread and biscuits made for this dressing. This will be my third time making this recipe. Thanks for sharing. God bless you both and take care. Mrs. Lonnie

  15. @Deborah4Antiques

    I agree, I don't like my dressing fussed up with a lot of odd things. I stick with tried and true! I live that way too! Best Regards, Deb😊

  17. @homegrowncountryhomeplace

    That looked real good Marie as always. I will have to wait until Thanksgiving to eat some dressing but that will be alright. Your dressing looks moist and not dried out. That is the way we eat ours. Sometime people have their dressing a little to dry Lol! happy Thanksgiving y'all and God Bless! Justin

  22. @sharonnunn3385

    My mouth is watering! This looks so comforting and yummy. My mom makes her potato stuffing every year and it’s delicious – but I love cornbread dressing and will probably make some next week to go with our Thanksgiving leftovers. 😊 Thanks for a great recipe!

  35. @maurinadittenhaffer6140

    I know this is delicious. I would like to eat it right now. I put carrots in my dressing along with the celery and onions. I think I will add cornbread to mine this year.

    Hi my lovely's, good to see you again. The music you play i love, could you let me know who that singer is please. I hope you both are well and taking it easy. Love being with you both. Xx❤❤

  41. @DSP6877

    Hi Marie. your dressing looks really good. Why do you put eggs in your gravy? Marie i have the same issues that you do .I started passing out.I have been in the hospital 2 or 3 times.I get to dehydrated . I can't drink a lot. I was looking at your hands as you wear cooking. You fingers swell just like mine. I can't wear my rings anymore i miss them.

  42. @dianekelley6559

    Marie, the only difference in my recipe and yours is I add about 1 cup of the unbaked dressing to the gravy mixture. Everyone thinks it’s giblet gravy.
    Great recipe and demonstration. I enjoy your channel. ❤

  43. @KathleenCalhoun-em6ys

    Greetings, Cal and Marie❤. I wanted to tell Marie that I made a dinner printed on back of a Campbells turkey gravy can using center-cut pork chops breaded in Pepperidge Farm herb dressing covered in the gravy–talk about easy and delicious. I'm not finished. I also made Marie's green beans as a side which I wrote down at one time for later use, using chicken broth, bacon, and 2 T. brown sugar, etc, and my friend told me it was really good. She enjoyed how it tasted, and so did I. That will be my go-to recipe from now on for side dish green beans. Cooking down those beans until the broth evaporates really makes a difference compared to just heating them up for five minutes till warm.

    I saved this video to watch later and it's April and I'm just watching it on solar eclipse day. Lol I think I'll try to make this pretty soon

  46. @maureenbegas2856

    Wowwwwwww!!! I can’t wait to make a cake like this!!!
    I’ve always adored any flavor of “poke cakes”. Never made one correctly. Now I understand where I was making a mistake. Heating the preserves is key to being able to distribute the fruit evenly.
    Can’t wait! Thank you for sharing your recipe.
    You two are very kind and sweet to each other. I appreciate watching the two of you being so kind to each other. True love.
    Lots of aloha continue to be sent to you and yours.
