    Thanksgiving-stuffing-recipeThe holidays are an interesting time for new vegans or vegetarians and their families. Traditions rule, and that means stuffing, gravy, and all of the holiday trimmings.  What to make for the plant-eaters?  We’ve run into our fair share of less than inspired freezer aisle veggie “options”, and we’re here to say there is a better way!

    Having lived in both the north and the south, we call it either dressing or stuffing interchangeably. Whatever your kitchen names it, the dish is a holiday staple… and it needs to be great!  A perennial favourite for both our Thanksgiving or Christmas dinners, this vegan stuffing recipe combines fresh herbs, apple, and crunchy walnuts to pull the side-dish into centre stage.  Vegans and vegetarians (and their hosts), sigh no more at the holiday dinner table!  This will be the star of the show…
