Sage and Cornbread Dressing

Salvia officinalis, S. spp.

When you smell sage what comes to mind? 

I always think of Thanksgiving. Turkey and my mom’s cornbread dressing. My favorite! 

A few years ago, I asked that she write her recipe down for me as she is slowing down a bit, and I know that one day I will need to remember how to make “mom’s” dressing. To remember and be thankful for all the wonderful meals she cooked through the years and our time together as a family.

We are familiar with sage being used as a spice, but it also has many health benefits. Sage is good for oral and throat health. It’s high in antioxidants and helps with memory and focus. 

Sage is a perennial that is very easy to grow. Mine is growing in a self-watering planter on my front porch. The leaves can be harvested and used fresh or dried. 

I pray that you will have a blessed Thanksgiving and treasure your time with family and friends.

Giving Thanks



One of my favorite holidays is Thanksgiving! Unfortunately, our society tends to put more emphasis on Halloween and then Christmas without pausing to give thanks.

So, let’s pause . . . what are you thankful for?



First and foremost, I’m thankful for my salvation in Jesus Christ. For my husband, our families and friends all over the world. My health, garden and chickens.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. (1 Chronicles 16:34)
