I love stove top stuffing. Something about the easy directions and great flavor that keeps me going back. I love it! However, sometimes when you have a food blog, everyone wants you to make everything from scratch. Who knew that it was a faux pas to serve boxed stuffing to your friends and family when [...]

Maybe it is because I live by myself or it is the fact that nobody can (let me rephrase that) should eat a 5lb chicken. Earlier this week I made beer can chicken.
