Baked Cornish Game Hens

SUBMITTED BY: JMRYGH PHOTO BY: Holly Chadwick

"Cornish game hens stuffed with a vegetable mixture, then roasted. A Cornish game hen recipe that I found and tweaked a bit for the taste and size of our small family, but it would be very easy to adjust it to fit your needs. It goes well with oven-roasted potatoes."
