Sage Cornbread Stuffing

Ahh stuffing, tied with mashed potatoes and more potatoes, stuffing is one of favorite sides for Thanksgiving. I usually make a bread and celery stuffing that calls for poultry seasoning but when I saw this on the McCormick site, I had to try it. Anddd if you know me, I don't really like pork. So I used chicken Italian sausage in this recipe! Curtis and I both loved it. He was surprised at how much he enjoyed the chicken sausage.

So are you ready for Thanksgiving yet? I braved the grocery store yesterday and it wasn't so bad. I just hope I didn't forget anything and have to go in tomorrow. It's usually pretty crazy with cars parked up on the grass in non-parking spaces.

Sage and butter gives this stuffing a wonderful flavor. I really am starting to wonder why I never really tried cornbread stuffing until now!

It was so fun to share with you some recipes with sage and for McCormick's Seasonal Seven Flavors this holiday season. Make sure you have these spices and flavors on hand this season: cinnamon, nutmeg, poultry seasoning, ginger, sage, vanilla, and peppermint. You'll have plenty of flavor for your holiday recipes!

Don't forget to check out the other recipes I shared, Brown Butter Gorgonzola Fries, Pork Chops with Parmesan Sage Sauce and Savory Herb Rub Roasted Turkey (includes my Thanksgiving meal game plan too).

What's your absolute favorite side dish for Thanksgiving?
