When it comes to preparing Herb Browned Butter Stuffing of Love I can’t think of a recipe that makes me happier!
I know that’s a bold statement for someone who spends hours and hours in the kitchen. However, of all the food groups (and yes stuffing is a food group), stuffing is the one! It evokes emotion.
Warm and fuzzy emotion!

This How-To Make Bread Cubes for Stuffing is the first step in making stuffing.
Separating this process into a separate blog post is a way for me to more efficiently explain my stuffing-making-method.
And considering stuffing itself is considered a food group in my house…it deserves all the love and attention I can provide.

This sandwich has always seemed a bit over the top for someone committed to making Healthy Choices. However, when Cooking Light shared a Melty Monsieur recipe…that got me thinking. Three of my favorite food groups are in play with our Lightened Up Croque Madame sandwich.

Parmesan & Herb Savory French Toast {with Balsamic Onion Jam} is just one more reason I’m addicted to breakfast foods.

We rarely have a loaf of bread on hand, except when it’s tomato season. So for brunch today I went with a savory French Toast recipe that incorporated fresh herbs, tomatoes, and Indian spices. Masala Egg Toast might be a new favorite.

Now that school is back in session the talk around the office has changed from backyard BBQ’s and poolside picnics to family friendly weeknight meals.

My first experience with fondue was in the mid to late 70s while visiting New York City. Mom took us to a trendy new restaurant called The Melting Pot. Fondue was the hottest craze to hit the restaurant scene. We gleefully dipped breads, meats, and seafood into broths and cheeses.

At first this Turkey Divan Grilled Cheese Sandwich vision seemed a bit of a stretch. However, since it was born out of ingredients already in our fridge/pantry it was worth giving it a go. No risk, no reward.
