There is absolutely no Thanksgiving dinner complete without stuffing! Ah, the versatility of this fabulous dish. It really can be whatever you want it to be. We decided to keep our stuffing “close to home” – using a freshly baked challah and pears from the farmer’s market. Zikki insisted we use loads of fresh celery to give it the classic stuffing taste and Gingis, this combination was absolutely delicious. Warm, rich, slightly sweet, and very simple!
