Whole Wheat Moist Stuffing with Swiss Chard by FamilySpice.com

I love Thanksgiving. Love it, love it, LOVE IT! I love the fact that this holiday does not involve gifts. It does not involve religion. And more importantly, it is all about counting your blessings and being with your loved ones.

I also love all the flavors of the Thanksgiving dinner. I love roasted turkey. I love cranberry sauce. I love squash and mashed potatoes and green beans. And I especially love stuffing.

My mother is a great cook and being Persian, we would also have some basmati rice on our Thanksgiving table. But she made a mean stuffing. None of that boxed stuff and none of that dry, suck-the-water-right-out-of-your-mouth kinda stuffing.

It’s moist stuffing that has plenty of celery in it and lots of sage. YUM!

This whole wheat moist stuffing is my version of the classic stuffing my mom made. I made it a little more healthy with the use of whole wheat bread and the addition of Swiss chard. And you know what? It still tastes amazing!
