I have made this for thanksgiving. Most peope in my family dislike stuffing but they loved this and asked for seconds. Tasted fresh and healthy. I used the fresh spices rather than dried. Makes a big difference…
I made this last night for Thanksgiving dinner and it came out delicious! all the spices and the sweetness of the cornbread balanced each other out and i am so happy with the way it came out!!! im definitely making this next year and maybe even before it!!!
