STUFFED!

Ok, this is a fun one ~ I’ve gathered my favorite recipes that have been, well, stuffed. We’re going from the tiniest olive to the whole roast chicken, with peppers, zucchini, onions, pasta, squash, apples, and figs along the way. Stuffing food is a classic way to make it more appetizing, and more satisfying. There’s a lot to love here.
