About the recipe creator, Samantha Finnegan:

I was diagnosed with PCOS and Celiac disease at age 16 and have been eating gluten free and paleo ever since. Frugal & Fit is a completely gluten free and allergy friendly blog that specializes in traveling with food allergies.

I choose this recipe for stuffing because it reminds me of home. My grandfather has been making this stuffing recipe for every Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner that I can remember. He grew up with it too and long before "paleo" was popular and keto was hip, my grandpa was making and eating this amazingly flavorful version of a classic holiday dish. It's very popular now, in a family with multiple food allergies and dietary restrictions!
