Answer :

My favorite is stuffing; mo recipe needed really. I make my stuffing with homemade buttermilk cornbread baked with lots of butter. As the cornbread cools a bit, sauté in butter in a big saucepan a bunch of celery with lots of leaves and a couple of onions, chopped. Add a good amount of dried sage and a bit of rosemary, savory and thyme- or use poultry seasoning, and add salt and peper to taste. Crumble in the cornbread and add just enough vegetable broth to moisten. I sometimes add roasted chestnuts or browned veggie sausage. Pack it into a greased baking pan and bake at about 350 until crispy on top.
