I found this yummy Sausage & Fennel Stuffed Pork Roast recipe in my December Food & Wine magazine. I’ve become a big fan of fennel, especially when combined with fresh herbs and savory aromatics. It was the stuffing that hooked me on this recipe from the start and the end result was absolutely delicious.

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

I’m always, always on the lookout for the next best grilled cheese sandwich. I seek inspiration at every turn. Every turn down the grocery store isle. Every turn through food magazine features. And every page turn of my current favorite cook book.
