As the casserole baked, the house transformed into a haven of warmth and delicious anticipation. I’d sit at the counter, watching the oven light glow, eagerly waiting for the timer to ding. When it finally did, the golden, crispy top of the stuffing was the ultimate invitation. We’d scoop generous portions onto our plates, steam rising, and sit down together to savor the moment.
