What I love about this dressing recipe for the holidays is that you can do the prep work a day or two before the day you mix it together and bake. This gives you more time to prepare other dished and visit with friends and family. Also par-boiling the vegetables the dressing bakes much faster, so once it is in the oven keep an eye one it. Look for my grandmothers Giblet Gravy recipe, it is so rich and delicious. I took it to church and the men were scrapping to bottom of the pot.
