Stuff That!

The most epic Christmas day stuffing, that leaves regularly stuffing tasting so basic! If you are a nut lover like me, you will love this recipe! I was literally eating it from the bowl, and served with chicken it is the perfect paleo feast! This keeps for up to 4 days stored in an airtight container in the fridge. It is also vegan friendly so If you fancy a meat free dinner this is great served alongside some creamy potatoes and roasted veggies!
