    Such a great addition to any savory dish/casserole. Easy to make and really bumps up the flavor profile and satisfaction of a simple meal like pasta w/marinara, Mac & cheeze, baked potato w/cheeze sauce, etc.

    Used these with a modification – add 1 teaspoon of fennel seeds to the recipe. You could also add red pepper flakes – to give it more of a “sausagey” taste. Then see the creamy potato kale soup recipe for modifications to make a version of olive gardens “zuppa tuscano” soup.

    Can the baked off crumbles be frozen for future recipes?

      Yes, they may be slightly dry compared to fresh, but many people bake and freeze them.

    I love all of the “crumble” recipes! Oh so good. Packs the flavor punch. This is such a great topping on any dish – not just this one!

    Good idea for loaded nachos!

I was having severe issues with uterine fibroid tumors, with heavy periods lasting 2 to 3 weeks, which in turn resulted in fairly severe anemia. I was lethargic and weak. I… Read more or comment “Lost Weight Without Hunger!”

All The Don’ts PD Has Brought Me

Today is my 2nd PD-versary — I think. I didn’t pay much attention to the actual day because I didn’t really believe I’d ever need to reference it!
