My wife cooks down the giblets in chicken stock to enhance the stock for her stuffing. She chops up the giblets and adds it to the stuffing.

We buy extra giblets because we were shorted for three years in a row.

She likes to add raisins to the stuffing to add moisture but a couple of family members don't like them.

One year I put raisins in my dressing. Afterwards, when we were cleaning the plates to put in the dishwasher, we scraped all the raisins people had picked out into the trash.

Never again.

I'll stick to the tried and true, old southern, cornbread dressing. On holidays, our family loves tradition. I will not get too adventuresome.
