Sausage and Roasted Grape Stuffing with Rosemary and Thyme

Can you imagine a Thanksgiving table without stuffing? It’s 100% my favorite part of the meal! Savory, satisfying, crunchy, soft, salty. It’s so much all in one bite. This year, I’m dishing out this sausage and roasted grape stuffing with rosemary and thyme.

Using breakfast sausage, rosemary and thyme brings those traditional flavors of the holidays I’m sure we are all gravitating towards, especially this year. But the roasted grapes – they bring something a little more unique to the table. They’re soft but still firm enough that they give you a burst of sweet juice when you take a bite.

Stuffing is really one of the easiest things you can make – and I’m all about keeping it easy for a holiday meal! The key to being a hostess with that effortless touch is making dishes you don’t have to think too much about, don’t have to stress about.

Especially Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving, there’s so much food there’s no reason to stress! Even if one thing doesn’t turn out how you imagined it, it’s going to be okay. You’re the only one who knows.
