Thanksgiving is right around the corner, so now is the time to start thinking about your meal plan.  Will you make the same dishes you do every year or will you try something new?  For the most part I find that it is fairly simple to make all parts of our Thanksgiving dinner gluten-free, with the exception of the stuffing, rolls and pies.  In the past I have used gluten-free cornbread in my stuffing, but this year I have something even better up my sleeve….Rudi’s Gluten-Free Stuffing!

More about the stuffing:

Rudi’s Gluten-Free Stuffing is an artisan inspired gluten-free stuffing that is perfect to bring to any holiday table for the whole family, gluten-free or not. Made from the bestselling Rudi’s Gluten-Free Multigrain & Original breads and blended with a perfect amount of savory spices, it is a perfect match to any holiday meal.  The stuffing can be prepared in about 5 minutes and is dairy, soy and, of course, gluten-free.  Unlike other Rudi’s Gluten-Free products, our gluten free stuffing is a limited time only program available while supplies last for 2013 holiday season.

The stuffing can be prepared in 5 minutes, as the package says, but I did things a little different.  I used Rudi’s Gluten-Free Stuffing in my stuffing recipe.  This recipe is the one my mom has been making since I was a little kid, so it means a lot to me that I can make it gluten-free.
