I have been having so much fun sharing Thanksgiving recipes with you over these past few weeks (follow me @cristinacooks for the latest). I'm curious to hear which ones will actually make it to your dinner table. This week I'm sharing a recipe for stuffing that happens to be one of Oprah's favorites dishes! I made it for her on her show and we had a great time in the kitchen together. I've also had the pleasure of making it for her along with family and other friends for Christmas Day feasts many times over the years! The moment I start to prepare the stuffing, I get so excited. The aroma from the onions, carrots and celery in the fruity olive oil smells so familiar, I guess because it's how my mom and grandmother would start their stuffing. It immediately conjures up warm feelings of home and family. I love it when my kids or husband will shout out from the other room, "It smells like Thanksgiving in here!"  That makes me smile every time!
