Cornbread stuffing

Like I said my favorite stuffing is cornbread stuffing. It is packed with fun and fantastic flavors. From the seasonings to the onions to the fresh parsley it is amazing. It is also a decent presentation. All the flavors cause for a lot of ingredients (but they are cheap). All the ingredients have different colors from the green basil and parsley to the red bell peppers so when they mix with the sunny bright yellow cornbread. This also has the perfect texture with the cornbread then you have a little crunch but it is not too over powering. Since me and my family has a Thanksgiving feast every year we need a lot of stuffing. This is the perfect recipe because it makes the perfect amount. Trust me I know that on Thanksgiving I eat more of stuffing then everything else even turkey. Its my favorite dish on the table.ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!
