Ingredients

  • My family has been in Florida for over 5 generations. We have many ethnic offshoots and traditions. This stuffing encompasses many ingredients from my family heritage and it tastes good too. Something a little different than plain stuffing. A little sweet, a little hot and a lot delicious. Just like my family and Florida: a little of everything.
