I love this recipe on so many levels. For starters, it tastes delicious and is an AWESOME way to use up your leftover stale gluten-free bread. On a personal level, it reminds me of the holidays and family. 

I’ve used butter in the recipe here, because that is traditionally how we grew up making stuffing, but you can substitute with healthier fats like olive oil if you prefer. Simply swap out the chicken stock for vegetable stock if you are making this dish vegetarian.

Fun fact: What you call “stuffing” on the East Coast is often called “dressing” in the Southern United States!
