RGFC » Cajun Rice Stuffing

Up here north of the border, Thanksgiving is around the corner. And that is a fine reason for me to celebrate as Thanksgiving was my favourite (eating) holiday in the States. It became an even bigger celebration for me after I got married and was able to start eating, I mean, celebrating twice in one year!

One of the best things about Thanksgiving dinner was the dressing. I started using my mother’s recipe for dressing when I first started doing the turkey – unfortunately, I can’t make biscuits. So I started using my mother-in-law’s recipe with bread. Then I got diagnosed with Celiac’s and I realized that I would have to figure something else out.

Fortunately that meant that I was able to do it hot and spicy since I would be the only one eating it. So I went with Cajun and rice – and lots of other fun stuff thrown in. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have …
