I am very excited about this recipe! It turned out way better than I could have imagined. I am a stuffing lover. I think it is just as important at the Thanksgiving Table as the Turkey! I have been eating the Paleo Diet for years now (and LOVE it) I thought I would always have to skip out on the stuffing. And my mom's stuffing is the best, this is the basic recipe she uses- but with a Paleo twist. Do you call it dressing? Whatever you call it- you no longer have to miss out on stuffing this Thanksgiving! And you will know it is made with healthy, natural ingredients that won't make you feel ... Read More
