For this stuffing recipe I added fresh tart cranberries and diced sweet apples. They compliment each other nicely. [...]

On Tuesday I tweeted this “Should I go Sweet or Savory for my Thursday post??” @bodaciousgirl responded with  ”The other “S” – Spooky.”  That request fit in with none of the recipes I had in the posting pipeline. Truly, I thought I was done posting Halloween. Not. Quite.
