This grain-free “rice” stuffing is perfectly savory and tastes like Thanksgiving. Its flavor and texture is impeccable, and I can’t even fathom how incredible it would taste with turkey. It’s been amazing with chicken, and I think it would also pair well with mild fish, pork tenderloin, and even eggs. If you ask me, it’s a must-have side dish for the holiday season!
Since this stuffing is not grain-based, it doesn’t leave you with that heavy belly, carb coma feeling. Instead, it’s veggie based, light, and leaves you feeling great. No stomach aches or fatigue!
Meanwhile, I went back on KATU Afternoon Live recently and made my crustless butternut squash pie. Catch the replay of my segment HERE.
Cheers and enjoy!
