Steph2003's Southern Cornbread Dressing

There are so many ways to make dressing, so I have combined several of the recipes that I have and come up with this one. Instead of using the canned chicken broth you can use homemade if you're making a chicken to go with this, and you can also add the shredded cooked chicken to the stuffing before baking.

Low Calorie Southern Banana Puddin'

I created this on labor day because I wanted to have some homemade banana puddin' just like the rest of the family. Banana Puddin' is a southern tradition. And the reduced fat nilla wafers get nice and soft, not mushy like with the regualr nilla wafers, because the reduced fat ones are very crisp.Submitted by: CHUBBYDOLL

Grilled Jalapeno Basil Pork or Chicken (Southern Living)

This is a Southern Living Recipe (from the magazine and website). It is very easy and quite tasty. I listed it so I could calculate the calories and share the recipe with a friend. The original recipe calls for pork, but the 'options' for pork chops as an ingredient were so confusing I listed chicken instead (instructions for both included).
