Over stuffed

Do you LOVE stuffing! Me too! Me too!!!!!!! But OMG it's a lot of carbs and butter and frankly sometimes as I sit at Thanksgiving dinner, I wonder if I should just layer my thighs with it....that's where it wants to sit anyway, ya dig? But does this mean stuffing has to make us feel stuffed??? Nooooo! A great way to keep your servings under control when it comes to stuffing consumption on turkey day is to make your recipe AND place a serving each in a muffin pan for baking, perfect portion control size! If you're at a friends or families house, and are not in charge of cooking, think 1/2 cup serving as you dole out your spoonful. You can also, if making the stuffing, moisten with more chicken broth than butter to cut the fat AND add all kinds of good for you ingredients like roasted butternut squash, brussel sprouts, dried fruits and nuts. A little taste of everything on Thanksgiving is ok, still practice portion control, I mean there will be leftovers, no need to eat everything at once. No one wants to feel stuffed, leave that for the turkey!!
