Cornish Hens with Rice Dressing

By: Geraldine Grisdale 
"THIS IS a perfect main dish when you're cooking for two. I've even used these hens as a stand-in for turkey on Thanksgiving Day when the group was not large. I found this recipe among my mother's collection. She was always searching newspapers and magazines for new cooking ideas. --Geraldine Grisdale Mt. Pleasant, Michigan"
