Wendy says
Can you use the cubed up dry cornbread that comes in a bag like you use for stuffing a turkey?
Jackie Davis says
The recipe calls for 1/4 cup sage. Surely, you mean fresh sage. Right?
Lynda says
Nope. I know it seems like a lot, but good dressing has a lot of sage in it.
Suzette Buck says
What size dish is that/how many servings? I would like to make it as the main part of a meal .
Lynda says
The number of servings would vary based on the size of the portion. I am not sure about the size of the dish, but I imagine a 9×9 glass baking dish would work.
Aldin bakao says

Lynda says
Dressing is often made with cornbread and seasoning. It is quite often eaten at Thanksgiving in the United States, though Southerners like to eat it any time.

Paula says
I had no idea you could put it in the oven! I love the heart shaped dish it’s my fave!
Lynda says
I had no idea, either, until I got the heart dish. Here is a little information about baking in the dishes from the Wilton Armetale website: You can cook, bake, broil, grill, chill and serve in almost all of our products. We suggest that you put a thin coat of oil on your piece before doing any this to keep the piece from staining. The only pieces you can not use for cooking are pieces with black paint in the cooking surface of the pieces like the bread trays. Those pieces are only for serving.
Liz Mays says
That is really a beautiful piece. I wouldn’t have thought to cook something like that in it, but I love the idea!
Jennifer H says
