    Are you team Homemade Stuffing or Team Boxed Stuffing? Even though I have a homemade stuffing recipe, my family is 100% for the boxed stuff. And considering how much easier it is, I'll never complain.

    Is boxed stuffing hard to make on the stove? Nope.

    Is it the last thing you want to worry about after coordinating 12 other recipes and cooking since 6am. Yep.

      For the slow cooker mashed potatoes, I need to buy a new pot with the metal insert because I have trouble with my arm trying to handle the ceramic inserts because of their weight. But how can you mash the potatoes in a coated metal insert without damaging the coating on the insert?

        I think you could safely use a silicon or nylon potato masher< with a nonstick insert!
