    Gluten Free Stuffing with Kale, Caramelized Onions, and Mushrooms
    I've never been much of a stuffing person. I don't dislike it and I'll eat it if it's there, but I've never attempted to make it myself. I mean, what is stuffing but stale bread and broth? That's like what they'd feed prisoners in the Middle Ages. And we're supposed to look forward to this? This is a holiday tradition?!

    Gluten Free Stuffing

    When Udi's Gluten Free Foods issued a challenge to bloggers to create a gluten free stuffing holiday recipe using their bread, I decided to attempt to make a gluten free stuffing that wasn't just gluten free, but a gluten free stuffing that we'd look forward to eating. One that was more than just prison food circa 1425. I started with Udi's Whole Grain Bread Loaf, added fresh kale from the garden, caramelized onions, and browned mushrooms. In all honesty, I was expecting this to be a little bit weird texture-wise because of the gluten free bread. I tried the bread before I made the stuffing and I could definitely tell that it wasn't wheat bread--the texture was different. But once baked in the stuffing, you'd never guess that the bread was gluten free.

    Between the Whole Grain bread and fresh veggies, this was the best gluten free stuffing–no, the best stuffing, period–I've ever had (and my husband agrees!). My gluten free stuffing ambivalence is gone!

      Stuffing is something I can't do, but I think a lot of it has to do with the fact my mom made it with giblets when I was a child and I can't get the obnoxious smell out of my memory banks.

        Ha! I don't think I've ever had a giblet, so I can't say I know the smell. And I'm pretty glad about that. 🙂

      Looks so good!!! I love homemade stuffing though mine didn't turn out so fabulous this year. I think it needed an egg...or a new chef. 🙂

        I was wondering if I could get away without using an egg, but hearing this, I'm glad I did. 🙂

      This sounds so much better than the Stove Top my grandma makes - blech.

        I think my mom made Stove Top too? Or maybe croutons? I don't know, but I didn't like it either!

      I always look forward to see what new recipe you are posting! I am going to print this out and give it a try. I have been buying kale whenever it is on sale at Whole Foods and my husband actually likes it!

        I grew my own kale this year and it did so well that next year, I'm growing three different kinds. It's definitely my favorite leafy green vegetable--it has such a nice, chewy texture. I hope you enjoy the recipe!

      Looks great! It seems like we always have too much kale in the garden, and not enough recipes! 😀
