Homemade Croutons are some of the simplest pantry items to make. Once you catch the bug and realize the endless favor combinations that can be blended together you won’t be able to stop. I have to have something with some crunch with my Soups and Salads, whether it’s saltine crackers (Liz makes fun of the […]
Pear Harvest Salad
I really don’t think we eat enough salads around here, sure, during the Summer when there is a bounty of vegetables from the gardens we’ll focus on dinner salads or a big chef salad. Yet during the colder months of the year, salads seem to get pushed aside for one reason or another, whether it […]
Deep Fried Stuffing
Stuffing is one of our favorite Thanksgiving dishes, however I’ve not been very creative with the leftovers in the past.
