OMG! It was so good! I made for Thanksgiving day, and it was gone. The figs made a difference . I never used or heard figs before. Again, thanks for the recipe!
I tried this with dinner one night and my only complaint was that it made too much for a normal non-holiday dinner. Other than that, it was a very good stuffing and had great flavor and everything. We'll be making it for Christmas this year for sure!! Thanks for the recipe!
Awesome flavorful was a big hit at thanksgiving. Even our southern family (who love fatty unhealthy ) loved it & chose it over the traditional and box versions
I used bread crumbs from a whole wheat bread recipe I love along with some cornbread bread crumbs. It was great!
