This stuffing is a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

This stuffing was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try it with less pears next time.

This stuffing was a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! The pears added a unique sweetness and the pecans gave it a nice crunch. I also loved the addition of thyme and rosemary, which gave it a savory flavor.
