About This Recipe:
Even though stuffing is technically a “side dish,” it is by far my favorite part of Thanksgiving and Christmas meals. This recipe is nothing fancy- just your standard vegetable stuffing that is fool proof and absolutely delicious. I love stuffing with sourdough bread, but you could also use a baguette, ciabatta, or cornbread. This recipe has a ton of vegetables and is definitely on the lighter side of stuffing. However, there are so many variations that you can make to this recipe such as adding sausage, different seasonings, apples, etc. I’m on a mission to make stuffing a year round thing- come join me!
Enjoy!
