Thanksgiving Stuffing Ideas

I’m a big fan of homemade stuffing. It so easy to make and just tastes better to me. When I make my stuffing I look for potato bread cubes or other soft bread to use. If you can’t find ready made cut bread, really any bread you like would do fine. A touch of white wine and cream or milk add to moisten any bread you use.
A must in my stuffing is a bit of vegetables. Sautéed celery and onion are standard.

Here’s where pumpkin makes it even better!
PUMPKIN STUFFING

CRANBERRY CORNBREAD STUFFING
Cranberry Cornbread Stuffing is a great alternative to traditional bread stuffing. A slightly sweet side that goes great with poultry.

CHESTNUT STUFFING
Chestnuts give this stuffing a holiday flair. Boiled, chestnuts take on a soft, sweet flavor. Easy peasy to cook too!
I cut an “X” on the flattest side before boiling. Cover chestnuts with water and bring to a boil. Cook chestnuts about 15 minutes until soft. Cool and peel.
Chestnuts add a bit of texture, Vitamin C, folates, B vitamins and are gluten-free. These nuts are also a good source of fiber and monounsaturated fats.

So dig in and enjoy a big spoonful of stuffing. After all it is the Holidays!
