Do you make the same stuffing recipes for Thanksgiving and Christmas (and even Easter) every year? Maybe I can tempt you into making a change. But don't get me wrong. I adore traditional stuffing but it's always good to try something new. And in our family we like to have a few different stuffings to choose from - some cooked in the bird and some separately. Ready to pimp up your holiday table with some special stuffing recipes?
