  1. Since my DH won't usually eat cooked spinach, I halved the recipe. Please do finely chop your onion or grate it (reserving the juice in case you need it). I'd also pop the stuffing into a food processor after measuring. Using that much cayenne and Creole seasoning seemed to mask the parmesan flavor (which I did not cut in half as I like it so well). I would make it again with about half of the heat. Thank you Ranelle!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a former avid 4-Her with many awards for Food and Nutrition. My current occupation is Computer Trainer and Mother of two boys. I love to experiment in the kitchen and my husband can't understand how I never follow a recipe exactly nor use exact measurements, but he loves everything I cook. I learned to cook by pinch of this, glug of that, handful of the other thing.
