Cooking On the Side
Cooking On the Side – as in on the side of food packaging – is all about “revealing” on-the-package recipes, with photos of how they actually turn out, cooking notes and more descriptive directions than package space usually allows for.

Cooking On the Side A NY Times article inspired me to try making stuffing in muffin tins - what a great idea! http://bit.ly/1AyhtG

Good idea! Just a reminder that you can get food poisoning from stuffing the bird. Thought it was an old wives tale till it happened to me!

I have done stuffing muffins...not nearly as moist as a casserole, lots safer than stuffing the bird. However, you can take the stuffing out of the bird and take the temp, put it back in the oven if need be until it reaches the safe temp..what's the point. Casserole!

I definitely feel safer with the out-of-bird approach. One less thing to worry about as you're coordinating the rest of the feast!
