    3. what kind of oil do you recommend for the cornbread?

      • Hi Dalia – we love extra virgin olive oil when we make cornbread, but if you have another favorite you use regularly while baking, feel free to experiment!

    4. I am thinking of making this for this year’s meal, but I’d like to omit the apples. Do you think I need to make any adjustments to the rest of the recipe?

    5. This stuffing was amazing!!! Did not expect to taste so good. I almost cried. Found out months ago that I have crazy allergies to…everything. Still getting my pallet used to things without gluten, dairy and eggs. Was not looking forward to Thanksgiving at all. But now, I can’t wait!!

      Don’t know you, but I love you!!!!!

    6. Do you know how it would come out if you used honey or maple syrup instead of the sugar and brown sugar?

    7. This stuffing was AMAZING! I cheated and used 2 boxes of GF cornbread mix and I did use butter instead of oil/Earth Balance, so not totally vegan, but it was GF. Everyone absolutely loved it!
