I’ve always been a stuffing fan from day one. Stovetop brand stuffing was always my favorite. The mix of intact pieces of bread held together with the creamy, thick blend of broth and breadcrumbs. I’m drooling just thinking about it! Over the years, however, my palate (and gut) has changed. Now, the Stovetop brand is far too salty for my taste and the wheat irritates my digestive system. So each year, I chase the high and test out new ways to make it just as good as I remember.

This year I found the secret to the perfect mock-Stovetop stuffing. And it’s… In this recipe, I use mushroom broth and soy sauce to mimic the savory poultry flavor that is usually infused into store bought mixes while fresh herbs elevate it to home-chef status flavor. It’s a simple 1-pot recipe packed with a lot of nostalgic flavor, does it get any better than that?

For me, the ideal summer 30 minute meal has fresh greens, seasonal produce, and a grilled protein. This salad checks all those boxes: Delicious sweet and tangy barbecue chicken breast paired with sweet, juicy peaches, creamy burrata cheese, crunchy greens, and drizzled with a light oil and vinegar dressing. It perfectly combines my need for a light yet nutrient dense dinner when it’s too hot to spend more than a half hour in the kitchen.

This is one of my all time favorite summer meals because it is so light, colorful, and bursting with bold fresh flavors! Its simple to prep and only takes 15 minutes to cook - perfect for when you’re minimizing oven use in the warm weather! Plus, it pairs perfectly with a margarita!
