Sausage Veggie Stuffing

This was a reader favorite recipe from my first book, The Healthy Gluten Free Life, so I wanted to share it with everyone for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. Originally made with gluten free bread cubes (delicious!), I adapted it to our paleo lifestyle and no-one complained a bit! Oh, and I call it stuffing, but I don’t actually stuff it into the bird, so technically it’s dressing, but no-one seems to call it that anymore.  Call it what you want, I just call it scrumptious!

Enjoy this savory and traditional stuffing either in a casserole dish or make it “Wow!” by serving in individual stuffed acorn squash.    Your guests will be impressed and no one will miss the bread!

~Enjoy!
