Garlic Basil Cheese Puffs

Cory shared:   Three things I am thankful for:

1. My family
2. Our health
3. Our jobs, food, cars, house, neighborhood, friends, warm showers, hot coffee & breakfast burritos!

What are you thankful for this thanksgiving season?  Please send in your comments so that we might share during the next weeks.

These cute little savory puffs made a big appearance at our dinner table along with our recent baked Macaroni and Cheese!  Mom and I have been making cream puffs for a long time.  But savory puffs?  I came across this recipe in The Taste of Home cookbook that was a recent gift from my Florida girlfriends, Kathy and Phyllis.  Wow, we love these.  An endless ingredient list can be changed up depending on what they are served with.  Garlic, basil, Parmesan, onion, rosemary, thyme, oregano, and the list goes on.  We ate them warm out of the oven and boy oh boy are they good!  Very easy to make also!
