CROISSANT STUFFING BITES

THE BITE SIZED THANKSGIVING SIDE

I always have so much fun every time I see my friend Jamal of Style Society Guy. The last time we met up, over cocktails he posed the question "what are good sites for me to visit for recipes". Immediately, I had that "duh, Jamal, Coffee & Champagne" knee jerk reaction response. It stuck with me.

A couple of days later, I reached out and invited him to come over and cook with me. I asked him what kind of dish he was interested in learning how to make.

"What dish to bring to a Friendsgiving".

From there we narrowed it down to a savory dish that can be made in under an hour.

My friends, I present you with this rockin' stuffing dish with the warning that your once friends will all want to be your very best friends if you make this for them. Choose who you feed wisely!

PS. Before we cooked and ate, we had a super fun morning! An event with Nautica Home and then a fab fashion shoot where I got the honor of not only seeing the inner workings of Jamal's fashion shoots but I got to play fashion photographer! So fun! Gents, you have to check out Jamal's look and Fall tips on his insta!
