Not your grandma's Stuffing

No Thanksgiving dinner is complete without stuffing. 

Portabella Pumpernickel Stuffing is one of my go-to recipes for a delicious vegan stuffing that is a perfect addition to any gobble day meal! This one is a real crowd-pleaser and even the non-vegans can’t resist! It’s so savory that you never have to mention it’s vegan! It’s gotten taste test thumbs up from carnivores as well as  vegans!!

1 lb. pumpernickel bread cut into cubes (approx. 10 slices)

2 table spoon extra virgin olive oil

6 -8 medium portabella mushrooms, chopped (6cups)

½ cup sweet potato puree
