What would Thanksgiving be without dressing?  I think it would be just another day.  Hands down, the dressing is my absolute favorite part of Thanksgiving!  It is something I look forward to all year.

Dressing, or stuffing as some people call it, can really spark a debate among people.  Different parts of the country have different versions of dressing.  I realize I live in Illinois, but I consider our part of the state very Southern, especially when it comes to food. 

Now that we are into November my mind instantly starts thinking about Thanksgiving.  Over the next couple of weeks I will be sharing some recipes that are Thanksgiving staples.  Today I am sharing my Grandma’s dumpling recipe.

My Grandma was a great cook.  Her fried chicken was the best I’ve ever had, but she was probably most well known for her dumplings.  She came from a very large family and she was always in charge of making the dumplings for the family reunion every year.  In fact, some of her nieces and nephews bought her a bigger pan to make sure there would be enough for everyone to enjoy.
