This is an excellent recipe, if you are familiar with southern cornbread but never cooked it and want to try with a basic recipe. If you are new to making it, here are some things you DEFINITELY need to know: 1) "Dry Corn Bread Mix" means "corn meal mix" - not Jiffy or any brand that is sweet. Any of the Aunt Jemima versions are perfect. Sweet dressing does not have the traditional southern taste most folks are accustomerd to. 2) Sage is delicious but is like any other herb -- personal preference rules, because it is VERY strong. If you are not used to sage, cut the recipe amount in half, and add your sage to the recipe before the eggs, so you can taste as you go along. 3) The more you stir and mix this recipe, the more dense and gummier it gets. So if you like a lighter, fluffier dressing (almost "stuffing" like), you should only add as much liquid as needed to reach the consistency that you want. 4) For non-vegetarians, add meat to this dish! Almost any meat will go well: cubed or shredded turkey ham or chicken, sausage, ground beef, bacon. Try your favorite. 5)BE CAREFUL if you use poultry seasoning - some blends have salt. Reduce the recipe salt if needed.
