Holy Stuffing! Swanson Giveaways across the blogosphere

As part of Swanson’s “Great Stuffing Debate" promotion this holiday season, TONS of bloggers have teamed up to offer Visa gift cards to help with your holiday shopping. Here's just a small sampling of the ones I've found:
Head over to Eighty MPH Mom, where you can win a $150 Visa Gift Card from Swanson’s!

The Divine Miss Mommy - Stacie is offering the chance for 5 of her readers to each win a $50 gift card. That would buy a lot of Christmas goodies!

The Mom Buzz is offering one of her readers a $150 gift card, to purchase all your holiday dinner ingredients and more!

As They Grow Up is also offering one of her readers a $150 gift card!

Baby Loving Mama is also offering one of her readers a $150 gift card!

Blessings Abound Mommy, A Mom’s Impression and Being Alison are each offering one of their readers a $50 Visa gift card to help with the holiday meal!

Shop with me Mama is also offering one of her readers a $150 Visa gift card.

MomStart is also offering 1 of her readers a $150 Visa gift card.

I told you - stuffing, stuffing everywhere! Lots of blog readers will have some much-needed financial help for their holiday meals this season, thanks to the generosity on Swanson!

In my house, there is no debate - my son is the stuffing eater, so I make it how he likes it :)

Do you make your stuffing with bread or cornbread? both, about 50/50
Meat or vegetables? again, I use both. sausage, onions, celery, mushrooms
Fruit or nuts? neither - we save those for the pies :)
Chicken broth, turkey drippings or water? chicken broth to start, I baste part-way through with turkey drippings, finish with melted butter to crisp up the top.
In the bird, or on the side? out - in a separate casserole dish. It's not so mushy that way, and it gets a crunchy top.
