Our Stuffing Winner: Sage Dressing!

Gluten-Free Sage Dressing:

Ingredients:

1 loaf of white bread, dried out (Heidi uses 2 loaves of Ener-G’s Light Tapioca Bread, she spreads it out on a cookie sheet and puts it in a 250 degree oven until super dry)

1 1/2 cup diced celery

1 cup of diced onion

1/2 cup of butter (Heidi has used Smart Balance)

1 Tbsp. dried rubbed sage

Directions:
Break up bread into small pieces

Saute celery and onion in butter  until tender.

Add sage to celery and onion mixture, stir to incorporate (the smell is divine)

Add sauteed vegetables and sage to bread pieces; mix well.

Turn into a well greased 2 qt. baking dish

Add a little extra chicken broth to slightly moisten

Dot with butter

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

*For crock-pot, Heidi says mix the same ingredients and put on low for 3-4 hours.  She says she tried it last year and she says “it worked GREAT!”
