Sharing another Thanksgiving favorite with you—this time it’s our go-to Baked Stuffing recipe. It’s gluten-free, full of savory flavor, and always baked on the side, not in the bird.

I’ve included the full recipe as a PDF if you want to give it a try. Simple and so good the next day too (if there's any left that is!).

I just peeked at this page and saw it’s grown to 5,000 followers—wow. That honestly blows me away. I haven't been on FB in a while and know I haven’t posted lately, but I’ve been thinking it’s time to pop back in, especially with Thanksgiving coming up.

So we’ll be sharing a few favorite holiday recipes this week, starting with appetizers. This is one of my daughter Kelly's specialties, Stuffed Mushrooms.

Here’s the PDF if you want to try it this year. More recipes coming soon. 🧡

On the menu tonight--Pizza! And we're trying something different. We made a non-dairy cheese sauce from the Dairy-Free Lasagna recipe and added white beans to it to give it more of the cheese taste and melted texture. Popping in the oven now. Looks good!

Wouldn't this be wonderful? A terrific new idea still in development.
