As a complete side note, mostly for my own use... One of my favorite holidays is thanksgiving. I think it's the gluttony. I LOVE stuffing, dressing, whatever you want to call that bready stuff you cram in the turkey's ass, then pull back out and slather in gravy. Because i'm making an effort to avoid grains, i started looking around for different recipes so that i could attempt a paleo friendly stuffing. I found tons of recipes that had no bread-like objects at all, which defeats the purpose entirely. I found a half dozen or so more recipes that involved a huge list of ingredients, most of which i either have never used, never heard of, or once bought for use in stuffing, would go to waste because i'd never use them again. Then i hit on this one: Rosemary Sage Stuffing
It doesn't take a whole lot of extra stuff. The ingredients list is fairly short. The only thing i didnt already have at home were the eggs (i ate them all, omelette's are tasty). The bread was fairly quick to mix up. I tossed it in the oven, and my house smelled like heaven for hours. Then, the moment of truth.
It looks like bread. It tastes like bread. It feels like bread. Therefore, it's a duck. (it doesnt float, nor is it made of wood, but work with me here...)
It's bread. Chopped up, mixed with sauteed onions, garlic, celery, carrots, and some sausage, drowned in chicken broth, and baked, and it makes a stuffing I'd be willing to marry.
Not only did it save my thanksgiving when covered in gravy, it's been my breakfast for the last week. The leftover stuffing went into a baking dish, i drowned it in more eggs, baked it and made a stuffing strata. I'm still drooling thinking about it.
