Ingredients
3 tbsp butter
2 stalks Foxy Celery, diced
2 cups small Foxy Broccoli florets
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh thyme
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Melt butter in large skillet set over medium heat; cook celery, broccoli, onion, garlic, thyme, rosemary and half of the salt and pepper for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender. Let cool slightly.
Toss together vegetable mixture, bread, broth and walnuts until stuffing is moist but not soggy, adding up to 2 tbsp more broth if needed.
