Stuffing from a box has never tasted so good! With the addition of onions, scallions, celery, and diced pears you can easily upgrade a basic boxed mix and serve up something special this holiday. This semi-homemade stuffing has lots of flavor and texture. I made it for Thanksgiving and I got a lot of compliments, plus it was all gone within minutes! Your guests will never know it starts from a box — unless you tell them.

Sandra's Butter Tarts
These butter tarts are super easy to prepare, especially with time-saving frozen tart shells. My boys ask for these tarts often, and when I do make them, it's hard to keep them around for long!
Leftover Mashed Potato Egg Cups
These leftover mashed potato egg cups are a great way to use up mashed potatoes, and are quick and easy to assemble for breakfast or brunch. We like our eggs cooked until you can still dip a piece of toast into the yolk, but cook to your preference.
Beef and Rice Stuffed Bell Peppers
These stuffed peppers with rice are worth a try! Ninety-four percent of all stuffed bell peppers are made because there's leftover rice around. You can adjust this recipe in many different ways: the herbs, the meat, etc. Any ground meat works: lamb, pork, or an equal mixture of sausage and beef is fantastic. I used lean beef, but I recommend trying 1 pound beef with 1/2 pound pork sausage.
