Chances are good, if you're a woman, you are familiar with the acronym LBD or Little Black Dress. LBD"s are a staple in the wardrobe because you can do SO many different things with them to change them up. They're fun AND practical AND often come in handy in a pinch. So what does a Little Black Dress (LBD) have to do with dinner?
Much like a LBD, you can take some basic recipes and change them up in a million different ways as well. Simply by changing the seasoning, the meat, the sauce or toppings, you can take an LBD recipe and transform it into whatever you need (or using whatever you have on hand.)
In difficult times, it's important to be flexible and use what we have on hand to make tasty and delicious meals. This week's recipe for sausage stuffed mushrooms is just this kind of recipe!
