Corn Stuffing Balls

Imagine stuffing in the form of an individually portioned ball. That’s what these Corn Stuffing Balls are! If you’re looking for an alternative to traditional stuffing for Thanksgiving, these Corn Stuffing Balls are for you!

CORN STUFFING BALLS

Thanksgiving is just a couple of days away. I’m not stressed at all this year about the meal. I’m hosting and I’ve definitely had my oops moments in the past (hello gummy mashed potatoes and rock hard gravy).

All those are learning curves along the way and I’m sure I’ll learn something this year the hard way, but that’s life.

One of the traditions my friend Claire introduced us to last year was pie in the park. Basically after you’ve eaten your Thanksgiving meal, all of our friends meet in the park and share pies.

We had over 20 pies last year and it was so nice to taste a little bit of everything or four versions of an apple pie.

The only part that I guess is a little strange is that it’s like hey I don’t value our friendship enough to have the actual dinner with you but let’s meet up for dessert?

That could be the overthinker in me talking.

Thanksgiving dinner…you’ve got your turkey, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn souffle, and rolls. Stuffing? Well my mom just made it out of the box.

This is halfway in between homemade and out of the box, hence the theme of this blog.

While I don’t think these Corn Stuffing Balls are best for a crowd, they definitely would be perfect for a smaller group. Little individual servings of stuffing, I mean how cute is that?

I can’t tell you how good my house smelled after making these!
