It's not your grandma's stuffing! It's awesome. It's a staple on our Thanksgiving table. I was sick of the soggy bird stuffing and this is fresh, different and complements the meal perfectly. We still have the boring old-fashioned stuffing too, but this always goes first!

With a little bit of Mexican flare, this cornbread dressing is a nice twist on a holiday favorite. The combination of cilantro, fresh herbs, and fresh vegetables really makes this special and full of flavor. This stuffing isn't only beautiful when presented, it tastes amazing!!
