Instagram post 2169912447125673010_462853852 Thanksgiving debate number 2! Side Dish or Dessert? 🤔 Where does the CLASSIC marshmallow-topped sweet potato casserole reside? 🤷‍♀️ * It's always been a "sweet" side dish in our family, definitely NOT a dessert!

Instagram post 2164819317391112965_462853852 It's STUFFING Season! 🙌 Or...do you call it Dressing? 🤔 DEBATE! What do you call this classic Thanksgiving side? 🤷‍♀️ Technically, this is "dressing" since it was baked on its own (not inside a bird). 😝 My family has ALWAYS called it stuffing and I grew up in the Northeast. In the South, they tend to call it "dressing". They also tend to make it with...CORNBREAD! 🤩 * I ALWAYS make my famous "traditional" stuffing recipe (on the blog), but a cornbread stuffing sounded delicious to try this year! What's your favorite way to make stuffing/dressing? 🧐 Southern Gluten-Free Cornbread Stuffing (Vegan, Allergy-Free)! 😋👌🍞🍽 * This Corny Comfort Food is:👇 Gluten-Free ❤️ Allergy-Free 🧡 Vegan 💛 Sugar-Free + Oil-Free 💚 Picky-Eater Approved (even if they don't like traditional stuffing!) 💙 Great for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or ANY weeknight 💜 10 Simple Ingredients 💖 Uses my Homemade Gluten-Free Cornbread 💗 Makes You Feel Warm, Cozy, and Full or Southern Comfort 💝 * So Team Stuffing or Team Dressing!? 🤔 Click the link in my bio @rebeccagf666 for the full recipe on the blog! 👆👆 https://strengthandsunshine.com/gluten-free-cornbread-stuffing-vegan/ * #cornbreadstuffing #cornbreaddressing #cornbread #stuffing #glutenfree #vegan #dairyfree #eggfree #soyfree #nutfree #top8free #allergyfree #celiac #foodallergies #thefeedfeed #thanksgivingfood #southernfood #glutenfreelife #foodallergymom #kidapproved #thanksgivingdinner #sidedishes #glutenfreebread #glutenfreefood #fallrecipes #glutenfreeliving #celiacdisease #goodmoodfood #easymeals #nosugaradded
