This just might become your new holiday meal tradition.
The holiday eating frenzy is approaching. Dressing is a staple and I love dressing. It’s my favorite festive side dish. In the past, I’ve made dressing that was almost untouched. So, I’ve been searching for a great dressing recipe. I happened upon one while shooting the Gas Station Gourmet.
I met Sarah Morgan when she was the chef in a south Louisiana truck stop. Her eggplant dressing is delicious. My wife went crazy for it. Recipes are sometimes closely guarded. “Everyone should eat well,” is Sarah’s philosophy and she shared hers with me.
Here it is for you.
