Blueberry Sourdough Sausage Stuffing is a bit of a departure from our usual tradition. Thanksgiving is just a couple of weeks away for us here in Canada, and a sausage stuffing has always been our family tradition for the big turkey days. However, blueberries have not, until now, been included in the stuffing.
We all have our cherished traditions, but sometimes, it's just good to shake things up a little. And this stuffing will do just that because of blueberries? In stuffing?
Let's Be Thankful
I really love Thanksgiving. It's a holiday that's all about gathering with family and friends, eating an amazing feast together, and feeling gratitude for all of it.
What could be more perfect? There's no financial stress, because, that other holiday, still to come, always has a big financial factor, right? I love, also, not having the pressure to decorate big time, being personally partial to the warm and earthy colours and textures of nature and autumn. I'm not a fan of the glitter and sparkle, so much.
To me, Thanksgiving is yes, being thankful. Regardless of how big or small, don't we all have something to be thankful for? The best part: we all get to celebrate Thanksgiving in the unique ways that we do, minus all of the expectations, hype and pressure of the commercial world.
All of that being said, Thanksgiving is, front and center, about a feast, which is, in my house, a shared project and always turns out amazing and delicious, as, I am sure it does in all of your homes, too.
