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!

Creamy Mashed Potato Casserole gets a little flavor love with the addition of sour cream and cream cheese.
This recipe is the perfect make ahead side dish that can be reheated in the oven or the microwave.
These creamy potatoes are fluffy with a nice buttery flavor.
Perfect if you ask me!

I am coming off such an incredible weekend and needed Monday’s dinner to be as easy as Cacio e Pepe. Served Two Ways!
The first way is rather traditional made with spaghetti and lots of cheese and pepper!
The second is prepared with spaghetti squash! Equally as delicious, gluten free and low carb friendly!

I’m careful not to throw around accolades. But when two chicken wing aficionados call your Honey Garlic Chicken Wing Recipe THE BEST…. you run with it.
And run hard!
The fun thing is, this recipe is SOOOO easy!!

My dear neighbor Pat gave me this recipe for How To Make a Giant Cinnamon Roll.
She thought of us when she saw it in a magazine and cut it out for me. It’s been laying on my desk patiently waiting.
The ingredients are quite basic, most well stocked pantries could handle. The instructions are straight forward, albeit there is yeast and resting/rising involved. However I’m certain most modest cooks could tackle this recipe.
Yet day after day, week after week, I avoided eye contact. What was it about this recipe that I was avoiding?

I knew Fresh Fig Crumble Bars would be a popular recipe!
Such a sweet way to incorporate my recent fresh fig score!
And boy are they delicious! The tender crumb is sweet and buttery and the jammy fig layer has a nice hint of lemon.
