+As Thanksgiving approaches and its really only a matter of weeks away I have been looking up new recipes. I always like to switch things up each year and cook at least one thing that is new. I think this is a fun way to change up the dinner each year so we have one new surprise each year. Thanksgiving Recipes are definitely some of my most favorite of all the recipes I review as work for Better Recipes and am constantly reviewing recipes. This recipe in particular is unlike other stuffing I have made because of the figs which give it unique and delicious taste.

+Loved it!!! I made a few changes like using Coconut oil instead of olive oil and I used 1/2 cup of Egg beaters instead of the two eggs. I hope those changes made it even healthier. It was a great stuffing recipe! Thanks.

+Mom had cholestrol and blood pressure issues last year. I found this recipe and it was such a hit. They loved this more then Nana's recipe I had been using for years. Mom is healthy now but this is our new family dressing recipe. Got all freaked out that I lost the printed copy came back and here it is. I love Chef Rocco!

+I tried this with dinner one night and my only complaint was that it made too much for a normal non-holiday dinner. Other than that, it was a very good stuffing and had great flavor and everything. We'll be making it for Christmas this year for sure!! Thanks for the recipe!
