Thanksgiving Stuffing Recipe

Minimalism is kind of my thing (so are missing forks and putting the silverware on the wrong side of the plate apparently...;)  I fell in LOVE with all the things from the new Hearth & Hand line at Target.  I purchased these plates and alternated these cross and these striped pattern napkins for good measure.  The green tumblers are from Anthropologie  and the wine glasses were a wedding gift from Tiffany & Co. (although joke is on me because I don't drink wine, ha!).  Lastly, the gold silverware is from Target as well and I'm loving how it classes up the settings.  I'm planning on stopping by this sweet local floral shop to pick up a nice centerpiece to finish off the look.

And now....on to the stuffing!

I'll admit that I'm not much of a cook.  However, holidays are the exception.  To my knowledge, this stuffing recipe is completely the creation of my mother-in-law and let me tell you, it's delicious.  For me, like many, the best part of Thanksgiving is the morning after breakfast and lunch.  Our traditional breakfast includes this stuffing, with a poached egg on top with some gravy and turkey.  Think of it as an "everything but the kitchen sink" kind of breakfast (my favorite kind).

So PLEASE try out this recipe for your Thanksgiving table and tell me what you think!
