stuffing croutons





This is good. I read somewhere that leftover stuffing could be made into croutons so I tried sauteing chunks of stuffing in ghee. As a comparison, I also slow-baked some smaller clumps in the toaster oven -- and decided they are delicious both ways with the baked ones crunchier.

Then I made a salad with just things on-hand -- romaine lettuce, parsley, green onions, black olives and Gorgonzola cheese. I added a couple of spoonfuls of cranberry sauce and some fresh thyme to a basic vinaigrette dressing. Sprinkled dried cranberries on top. And another spoonful of cranberry sauce on top of everything, what the heck. This is good.

If I'd thought ahead, these last pears (from our pear tree) would've been a nice addition but they've been in cold storage and are hard as a rock. Toasted nuts, too, but I was too lazy.

And a happy full moon to you -- I'll be making some full moon art later on. Join me?

  1. Yum, I'm salivating! Thanks for sharing that great idea. Coming up to Christmas (and I always have a stuffing), this will be a great use of left overs.
    Your salad sounds scrumptious and those pears look beautiful...might have to sketch them into my journal.

    Happy moonday to you too.

  6. Jacky -- it's worth a try if you're tired of heating leftovers up day after day! :)

    Marie, okay then, I'll set you a place! I'm going to come see your art now, too!

    Thanks, Wild Magnolia!

    Nancy, okay then, two place settings! hehe. Well, sometimes life moves to the forefront and crowds out all the time we have for making. ;)

    Nat, thanks and I hope you like it!
