Cleaning Eating: Delicious Grain-Free Stuffing Recipe
Grain-free and stuffing just don’t seem like two words that even make sense in the same sentence, let alone the same recipe! But, let me tell you, this recipe is the bees knees and hits all the amazingness that is stuffing. I mean stuffing IS the reason I show up for Thanksgiving dinner. It is what keeps me munching on leftovers long after the plates have been cleared and the last crumb of pie licked clean.
This year, my family is working through some health and gut-healing so grains, sugar and dairy are not on our table. Yikes, I know. But, we are still finding ways to indulge. After much research (thank you internet) and experimenting, I found a delicious satisfying replacement for traditional bread stuffing. This makes a beautiful addition to your holiday table or any time of the year paired with a roasted chicken. It even stands on its own with a green salad. Enjoy!!
