Glow Recipe Of The Day: Paleo Pilgrim Stuffing

Even though Thanksgiving is over, the celebration need not stop. Here’s one healthy treat for you. Paleo Pilgrim Stuffing is a recipe that is easily modifiable. If you’re a vegetarian, you can omit the meat and add additional vegetables. You can also swap out veggies for other ones.

This recipe makes 8-10 servings (depending of course on the size of the serving).

Have your fill 🙂
