I really enjoy the stuffing during the holidays. I think it is one of my favorite dishes. From the tiny pieces of onions to the chunks of celery, I love every last morsel of it. Yum! In fact, my kids and husband loved this stuffing so much that they asked me to make it even when it wasn’t Thanksgiving! Boy oh boy, talk about a confidence-boosting compliment for this mommy of picky eaters!
I love the crunch that the pecans give! This stuffing is so different from what I am used too!
