Twomama's Dressing


Picture is dressing from Cindy's notes from Myra

1 qt crumbled biscuits (20)
1 qt toasted white bread (8 slices)
1 qt corn bread mix, yellow (3 6oz pkgs)
1 c chopped onion
1 c green onion tops
1 1/2 cans chicken broth
1 c celery
1 c butter
2 tsp sage
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 eggs, slightly beaten

Add all except broth, butter and eggs. Toss well. Cook in well greased baking dish. Serves 14 people.

Note: I typed exactly what was written. I guess you can figure on your own what to do with the broth, butter and eggs. Another dressing recipe of Twomama's will be added soon.

UPDATE: After talking to Cindy, she gave me Myra's version and I halved it:

6 pkg Martha White white cornbread, baked
1/2 stick butter
1 bunch celery, chopped
1 1/2 bunch green onion, chopped
1/2 large onion, chopped
1/2 box of croutons
3 cans of chicken broth
1/2 can cream of chicken soup
1-2 tsp ground sage
salt pepper
1 egg*

Mix and put in 9x13 baking dish.  Bake covered at 325 degrees for 45 minutes.  Uncover and bake additional 15 minutes.

*I added egg because the original recipe called for it.

  1. I'm going to try out some of these family recipes. The meals Myra and Aunt Gladys prepared when I was lucky enough to get to sit at The Judge and Two-Mama's dinner table when I was a kid are among the most memorable of my youth. My wife Peggy is going to see this dressing recipe soon. Because I'm going to point it out to her . . . and maybe she will make it for me and the boys soon. Thanks.

Shrimp Jeannine

Cheesecake

CRUST: 1 1/2 c graham cracker crumbs 2 TBS sugar 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon 6 TBS melted butter Mix crust ingredients and pat into bottom and up sides of 10-inch spring form pan. FILLING: 3 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese 1 c sugar 3 whole eggs, well beaten 1/2 tsp vanilla Carefully pour mixture into pie shell and bake 20 minutes at 375 degrees. Remove from oven.

Peach Cobbler

3 c sliced fresh peaches 1 c sugar 1 TBS lemon juice 2 TBS butter 3/4 c flour 1/4 c shortening 1/4 tsp salt 2 TBS water Place sliced fresh peaches in a saucepan.  Add sugar, lemon juice and butter.  Simmer until peaches are heated through.  Make pastry of flour, shortening, salt and water.  Roll pastry to fit 8x8x2 inch baking dish.  Place hot peaches in pan and cover with pastry.  Prick pastry with fork and bake cobbler for 35-40 minutes at 400 degrees. Note from Melanie: I haven't used this crust but instead use the crust recipe I use for everything else.  I also use 2 bags of frozen peaches.  I cut down on the lemon juice, only using a few splashes.  And to thicken it up, I remove some of the cooked juice and whisk with corn starch and add back to the peaches.  I then sprinkle in some cinnamon.  I also sprinkle cinnamon/sugar on top of the crust.
