Paleo Cornbread Stuffing

Who doesn't like stuffing at Thanksgiving? To me, if there isn't stuff, it isn't Thanksgiving. I love a good old-fashioned cornbread stuffing. Well I used to anyway— it didn't really love me back. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I got to work in the lab and came up with this delicious stuffing. My friends came over to help me vet it and they loved it as well - in fact, they ate the entire pan. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
