Side Dishes

7. Bread-less Quinoa Butternut Squash Stuffing

This vegan quinoa butternut squash stuffing is perfect for Thanksgiving if you want a bread-less version of your favorite holiday side-dish.

It’s lighter and healthier but the best part is that it has the same great flavors of traditional Thanksgiving stuffing. Yum!

Forget the canned cranberry sauce and make your own! It takes 20-minutes and has only 2 ingredients. Super simple and delicious.
