Let’s Cook!

First Things First: The Bread
Making your own bread cubes is super simple! Mix the dry stuff, add the wet stuff, bake it up, and chop! Don’t skip letting it cool; it helps get those perfect cubes. Plus, your kitchen will smell amazing! Want to make it fun? Play your favorite songs while you cook.
Cooking the Good Stuff
Cooking the onions and celery until they’re soft is key. It builds the yummy base for our stuffing. And when you add the herbs, oh my! Your house will smell like a cozy holiday dream. I like to use real butter, but you can use oil if you want. It’s your food, make it your way!
Getting it Just Right
Mixing the bread cubes with the buttery veggies is my favorite part. Make sure each piece gets a good coating. You want every bite to be full of flavor! Pour that chicken broth all over – it keeps everything moist and tasty. Little tip: Taste a bit before you bake it. Need more salt? Add it!
Baking Time!
Pop it in the oven until it’s warm and a little bit crispy on top. If you like a crunchier stuffing, leave it in a bit longer. No rules here, just good food!
Mix it Up a Bit!
Want to add some fun things? Go for it! Try adding chopped nuts, cooked sausage, or even some apple pieces for a sweet twist. You can also change up the herbs. I love adding parsley sometimes! Make it your own special dish.
How to Serve it Up
This stuffing is great with turkey or chicken, of course. But don’t stop there! I love it with roasted veggies or even as a side for a simple weeknight dinner. It’s yummy and makes any meal feel special.
Saving Some for Later
Got leftovers? Yay! Put the stuffing in a container and pop it in the fridge. It’s good for a few days. You can reheat it in the oven or microwave. It’s perfect for a quick and yummy lunch!
So there you have it! My favorite low-carb stuffing that’s easy to make and super delicious. Happy cooking, and enjoy every bite! Let me know how yours turns out, okay?
