Did you mention these in an earlier post…maybe a Thankful Thursday post? Somehow they sound familiar. And look delicious. A colleague of my husband’s at work made a unique, flavorful stuffing for their work Thanksgiving dinner. It was so good. I think this stuffing sounds so tasty, too. Both put my Stove Top to shame!! Going to try this very soon.
