    Nana’s Cornbread Dressing

    11/08 /No Comments

    So this is a recipe passed down from my Nana and I have attempted to add directions as best as possible. As you can imagine Southern mama’s tend to cook everything by taste and look so it can be a challenge to get exact measurements. I made this last year for the first time and it was wonderful though a little dry. You will want your mixture wet but not swimming prior to baking. You will want to bake this at 350° for about 30-45 minutes checking frequently. This is a wonderful dish for Thanksgiving and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

    Famous Chicken Enchiladas, It’s What’s For Dinner!

They can be made quickly if you prepare your chicken in the beginning of the week. Even if you make your chicken the night of these are quick and easy. The way you season your chicken is crucial as you don’t want bland, boring chicken. I season my chicken with S&P, garlic powder, homemade taco seasoning (different post), and a touch of Creole seasoning. I know it seems like a lot but it is amazing mixed with the green chilies in this recipe. I top…
