I can’t even tell you how excited I am! Thanksgiving has to be one of my favorite food holidays! If you follow me on Instagram then you have seen all of my Thanksgiving inspired meals I have been enjoying! I will admit, the holiday cravings have been going on for quite some time! I can’t help it! Turkey, sweet potatoes, cranberry, stuffing… All of my favorites! But, can you believe that in my 4.5 years blogging I have never made a stuffing recipe?! I couldn’t believe it either! I mean isn’t stuffing everyone’s favorite side dish? It’s definitely mine! I will just blame it on the fact that I have always been spoiled by my grandmother’s stuffing!

Traditional stuffing is made with white bread, lots (and lots) of butter and broth. But this Butternut Squash, Cranberry & Pecan Naan Stuffing recipe swaps all of that out for wholesome   Naan, avocado oil, and bone broth. I also swapped the eggs for egg whites! Can we raise our hands to the nutrition gods because this comforting dish is now not only preservative free & delicious but loaded with fiber, omega-3’s and protein! Amen! We are taking back the holidays in a healthy way!

When I was shopping at Target (one of my favorite places!) I saw the Stonefire Naan  staring at me out of the corner of my eye in the bakery section. I was there specifically to get the ingredients for the Butternut Squash, Cranberry & Pecan Naan Stuffing. The naan  ended up being just the remix to this dish that I was looking for! I was torn between using the original and the garlic but finally decided on the original. Although, I highly recommend trying it with the garlic!

Unlike most bread companies, Stonefire does not use any artificial preservatives in their products. Because of this, the shelf life is short. This is why you will always find an expiration sticker on the bread! The great part about this Naan is that if you have handfuls of coupons, you can still stock up because the bread will last up to 1 year in your freezer! Insert: you will always have the base for a delicious recipe on hand!

Thankfully, I was armed with a  coupon  which made purchasing the Naan even more exciting! Because let’s be honest, who doesn’t want to feel like they just walked out of a store winning! And winning with the ingredients to make one epic stuffing:
