Homemade Stuffing Recipe

When I was married,  Thanksgiving was the only holiday My ex-husband would allow me to cook for him. So creating a homemade stuffing recipe was very important to me. I had to show him I really did know how to cook. So I had to make my stuffing recipe for Thanksgiving perfect.

Is It Stuffing Or Dressing?

In the Cajun Crawfish Dressing: A Southern Holiday Side Dish I asked is it Stuffing or Dressing? The results were interesting. Northerners call it stuffing. Southerners call it dressing.

I did some research on is it stuffing or is it dressing? Here is what I found out:

• Stuffing is the name when you put seasoned bread into a bird.
• A dressing is when the seasoned bread is served alongside a bird.
• Northern states tend to stuff birds.
• Southern states tend to serve alongside the bird.

Stuffing With Cranberries and Walnuts

The walnut idea for stuffing with cranberries and walnuts came about because of a Persian dish that had walnut and Pomegranate in it.  That Persian walnut dressing is a sweet and savory recipe, like this cranberry stuffing.

This Cranberry Walnut Stuffing turned out so yummy. Ok, I ate the entire bowl of walnut and cranberry stuffing for dinner. I am not ashamed to admit it. Cranberry walnut stuffing was really good!
