Stuffing Recipes for Thanksgiving

One thing I am thankful for is that I don't have to cook thanksgiving dinner! Although I LOVE to entertain, the whole idea of preparing the biggest meal of the year is terrifying to me! Failure is just out of the question! People wait all year for this - you can't let them down! I may work up enough courage to practice this year, but you won't be able to see how I do until after.

So in the meantime, I came up with this collection of Thanksgiving Stuffing Recipes from some of my favorite blogs! Stuffing is my favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner (if I had to choose just one!) My favorite is actually my mom's meat stuffing, but I will post that later on this month so stay tuned, it's a good one! 

Here are a few bread stuffing recipes. Some are more traditional and some have fun ingredients like bacon, ginger, mushrooms, and goat cheese (we know how much I love goat cheese!) There is also a figure-friendly option and a vegan one!

Enjoy!
