If there is one thing I love seeing on that Thanksgiving table, it’s oyster dressing. It’s stuffing made from hard bread crumbs (start out with croutons). It includes oysters and lots of butter. You also use the traditional veggies like onions, garlic and celery. My brother, Mike makes the most spectacular oyster dressing. I’m not a cornbread dressing fan.
