Kids Apple Sausage Stuffing
November 24, 2008
Stuffing is one of those Thanksgiving foods that I've found you don't have to twist a kid's arm to eat. I mean come on, the base of it is bread!
This recipe is sweet, savory and truly delicious. There are tons of variations on the ingredients you can put in your stuffing. Cornbread, wheat or white bread, fruits, vegetables, herbs, the list goes on...But the mixture of ingredients in this apple sausage stuffing is truly geared for little ones taste buds (and secretly mine, too!).
