Uncle Bubba’s Cornbread Dressing

Healthy Eating· Recipes

Jump to Recipe


Yes in the South we call this Thanksgiving Day must-have dish “dressing” although my Northern friends and family will argue that the proper name for it is “stuffing“. Over the years I’ve learned to just “mind my manners” when it comes to semantics – as apparently not everyone uses words like “fixin’ to”, “hankerin'”, or “smidge”. But for all Y’all that would like to enjoy a little southern cuisine I give you Uncle Bubba’s Cornbread Dressing recipe that has been blessing our Thanksgiving table for as long as I can remember.

This dish starts with a freshly made batch of delicious cornbread. You’ll be tempted by the scent of this baked goodness to just stop at this step and devour the entire pan. Trust me – don’t do it… although no one will know if you steal a couple bites 😉

Next you’ll combine all of the remaining ingredients and the crumbled cornbread. Pouring everything into two 13×9 inch pans

Your belly will start grumbling at this point from the aroma of sweet cornbread and sage emitting from the oven.

You can either slice it into squares in the pan like cornbread or crumble it like that northern “stuffing”. 🙂

Add some of Nanny’s homemade giblet gravy, perfectly roasted (or fried) turkey, green bean casserole, candy yams and some cranberry sauce…. and that my friends is the perfect Southern Thanksgiving meal.

Cheers! It’s my first pumpkin spice latte of the Cheers! It’s my first pumpkin spice latte of the season! 🧡 Here’s how I cut down on calories when ordering:

✴️ order a tall instead of a grande (-80 cal)
✴️ hold the whipped cream (-70 cal)
✴️ swap out regular milk for non-fat milk (-50 cal)
✴️ reduce the pumps of syrup…I’m not a sugar-free syrup girl and I don’t think 1 less pump changes the flavor (-30 cal per pump)

I only indulge once, maybe twice a week, but these customizations keep me on track! My tall pumpkin spice latte comes in at 150 calories vs. 300 calories! 🧡

Laundry is a perpetual chore in my house. 🧺 Jus Laundry is a perpetual chore in my house. 🧺 Just when I think I'm finished with all the loads, more dirty clothes appear and it's time to start another load. Unfortunately my swap for today doesn't fix that 😆, but it does fix the need for a non-toxic, natural and affordable fabric softener. I'm no where near being 100% chemical-free in our house, but I've made swaps here and there that make me feel pretty good about the everyday changes I'm making to a healthier lifestyle. ⁠

Hi 👋 I’m Angela. Welcome to my everyday road Hi 👋 I’m Angela. Welcome to my everyday road to a healthy-ish lifestyle! 😆 

I will be the big 5-0 next year 🎉 and I really want to be in better shape by the time I get there. Most days I *think* about exercising, but I’m constantly sabotaging my own efforts. My biggest problem is I don’t prioritize my exercise time. I tried adding it as a meeting on my calendar, but I know it’s a “flexible” meeting so I’m always cutting into that time, to the point where I tell myself I no longer have the time. 🤷🏻‍♀️ And if I sit down at my desk in the morning and start checking work emails, the probability that I’ll fit in a workout goes down exponentially.

Today I chose not to sit down at my desk right away. Instead, I saw my kid off to school then went straight to the gym. Everything else waited until I got home, and the rest of the day I was able to focus without feeling guilty that I had not worked out. 

Today was just one day. I don’t know if it will stick, but I hope it does. I feel better about this plan than any other I have tried. It feels sustainable. 💪🏼

How about you? How do you make sure you fit in time for your health? How do you motivate yourself?

I’m not getting any younger, and neither is my s I’m not getting any younger, and neither is my skin. The dry and spotty mature skin struggle is real. But I am convinced this PM routine that I do every other night, along with my daily AM vitamin C serum,  helped me with my melasma. 

Every other night I use:

✅Counter+ Lotus Glow Cleansing Balm
✅Reflect Effect Overnight Resurfacing Peel (the piece de resistance)
✅All Bright Brightening Facial Oil 

And don’t forget daily C Serum and sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen.
