Happy National Stuffing Day!

As with many of one's favorite foods, a love affair with stuffing may have been sparked by a simple product served during your formative years, like Kraft's Stove Top Stuffing. And although this author's food knowledge and repertoire have since expanded significantly, the adaptable base is still a viable option today -- with all the preparations a Thanksgiving meal entails, why not cut some corners when possible?

The base -- adapted by Recipezaar with a make-at-home clone recipe -- is extremely versatile, flavored only by chicken bouillon, parsley, celery and onion powder. But to many, this is its beauty -- it's infinitely adaptable. It can be kept simple, but is open to taste preferences -- sautée, say, a generous amount of onions, garlic, leeks, carrots and portobella mushrooms to make the dish extra hearty and satisfying.

What do you add into your usual stuffing recipe? Share your recommendations after the jump!

Excuses for culinary celebrations range from tame (National Sunday Day, Nov. 11), to obvious (National Turkey Day -- you guessed it, Thanksgiving Day), to practical (National Leftovers Day follows Turkey Day), to downright bizarre (Cook Something Bold and Pungent Day, Nov. 9). So get cooking -- if only for the holidays that you can stomach.

Notable national food holidays for the month of November, after the jump...
