Chicken Apple Sausage Cornbread Stuffing

Chicken Apple Sausage Cornbread Stuffing

My favorite stuffing recipe that I used to make nearly every holiday season is my own take on Whole Foods’ Southern-Style Chicken Sausage and Buttermilk Cornbread Stuffing recipe.  I hadn’t brought this to a potluck in a few years as I’d been more focused on dessert,

Here’s another update from my Holiday Bake-A-Thon 2012 – I found this recipe on Martha Stewart. I chose these because lemon is a great compliment for tea, though there is no actual tea in these cookies themselves.  The cookies themselves were good and really easy to
