In this post, I am featuring quick and easy ways to dress up your favorite Stove Top Stuffing just in time for the holidays!
Do you call it stuffing or dressing? We call it stuffing in our household, and Stove Top is the family's favorite.
It seems like a cheat to use stuffing from a box on the holidays, but my family won't use anything else. I think doctoring it up slightly, is a great way to dress it up and hopefully your guests won't be able to tell its from a box!

Below I will share other ideas of things that you can add to your Stove Top to cheat and make it taste more like it's home made!
