My Best MAKE AHEAD Stuffing (Dressing) Recipe just in time. RECIPE LINK IN PROFILE!

It’s classic, flavorful, and just needs to be thrown in the oven the day of Thanksgiving. No fuss and no mess. I use sourdough bread, but a basic white country loaf works well, too. Maple or brown sugar breakfast sausage adds a hint of sweetness and excellent flavor, while sautéed rosemary, sage, and parsley, instantly make your kitchen smell like the holidays.

This recipe calls for a lot of butter, but believe me when I say that it’s worth it. Now is not the time to start counting calories! The top is crispy and the inside is juicy and soft — it’s basically the best bread pudding you’ve ever have. And because it’s made a day ahead of time, the flavors have a chance to develop and meld together. I have always done it this way, and once you try it, you will, too.

Cookie season is upon us! RECIPE BELOW! #ad No cookie season is complete without making an exceptional butter cookie to share. I make these Salted Butter Cookies dipped in Chocolate w/ Pistachios almost every year. They are nothing without the richness and complexity of European butter. After all, it is a BUTTER cookie which means that only the best quality, higher fat content, deeply flavored French Butter will do in this recipe! Check out where you can find European Butter by going to tasteeurope.com and follow @tasteeuropebutteroffrance !

20 cookies

1 cup French Salted Butter, softened
7 tbsp powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
1 ½ cups AP flour, sifted
3 tbsp whole milk
4 oz chopped dark chocolate
¼ cup chopped pistachios

-Pre-heat oven to 350˚F
-In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with paddle, cream the butter and sugar on med-high until light & fluffy
-Add vanilla extract & paste, and flour, mix until just combined
-Add the milk and mix for 20 seconds
-Fill piping bag with large star nozzle and pipe cookies onto parchment lined baking sheet
-Bake for 13-14 minutes until the bottoms and tips are just browning
-Cool the cookies before dipping
-Melt chocolate and dip each cookie then decorate with chopped pistachios
-After chocolate sets, these will keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days

How to elevate or revive your pita. Do this with every pita! Toast it over an open flame for 20-40 seconds each side and serve immediately with labne topped with olive oil and za’atar. Or however you like it!

I made these pitas almost a week ago and they’ve been in my fridge getting rubbery and gummy. This super easy trick brings them back to life!!!! They’re as good as the day I made them. 

This works with any pita. Store bought, homemade … frozen pita(just thaw it in the microwave first).
