Try this spin on stuffing with fresh pomegranate seeds and lots of herbs

One loaf bread, such as sour dough or whole wheat French bread, diced into about 1/2 inch cubes
¼ c olive oil and 1 tbsp olive oil
2 small onions, chopped small
2 celery stalks, chopped small
1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
2 c low-sodium chicken stock
1/2 tbsp grass-fed butter
Seeds from 1 pomegranate, about 1.5 cups of loose seeds

Instructions

Toss bread cubes with 1/4 cup of olive oil, salt. Place in one layer on a cookie sheet and toast in a toaster over or broil in the oven until golden. Set aside.
Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a medium size pan. Saute the onions and celery until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the herbs, chicken stock, and butter. Bring to a boil then simmer for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the bread cubes and pomegranate seeds in an oven safe pan. Slowly add the hot liquid and mix gently. Bake at 350 F for 20-30 minutes.

I hope you have a great weekend! Happy Thanksgiving!

Nour’s guidance and expertise was the key to dramatically halting our son’s [Crohn’s] disease progression! His pediatric gastroenterologist is now in agreement of our choice to treat solely with diet and supplements. All his labs have improved and his inflammatory markers are so low they are practically nonexistent.

Before working with Nour, I experienced intestinal pain off and on for for 54 years with minimal success on medications. I have benefited 100% from Nour’s program as I am now pain free!

A lot of time and money was wasted on foods that I thought would help my digestive struggles [diarrhea, bloating, hunger], but in fact I was making it worse. The main benefit is getting a handle on what negatively affects my digestive symptom. Doing a total 180 to my eating habits has been pretty amazing.
