Today's Kitchen Tip: How to make a super simple dressing for Thanksgiving

Super simple dressing using Stove Top
stuffing as a base and adding lots of
unique items to make it your own.

There are so many dishes to prepare for Thanksgiving that sometimes I just want to take a break.  I love stuffing, but when I've got a lot to do, it takes so long to prepare that I consider removing it from my Thanksgiving menu.

When time runs out, here's a quick and easy way to prepare stuffing (or dressing if you prefer) using a boxed mix as a base.  Trust me, once you're done with it, nobody will know you cheated.  If your family has favorites they must have in their stuffing, add your favorites.  Sausage, no problem.  Oysters, even better.  Make it your own.

Here are a few of my favorite recipes that start with boxed stuffing mixes.   You will not be disappointed.
