To Southerners, Dumplings and Dressing kind of fall in that category of main dishes. Either one can stand on its own in a meal, even without the meat. But at a special holiday they are served as a side dish. Even with the chicken they are a must with ham, turkey or what ever you serve. They are as varied as they come with every cook making them different. At Stevens Catering we made them a little bland so you could add more poultry seasoning or sage as you like. Some cooks use boiled eggs, some used raw. You can make those changes if you like. Make it yours with our recipe.
