Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.

A truly delicious and different stuffing recipe made with brown rice, dried cranberries, fennel, celery, carrots, onion, and thyme.

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 medium carrots, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 medium fennel bulbs, cored and cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 celery stalks, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cups long-grain brown rice
1 can (14.5 ounce size) chicken broth
3/4 cup dried cranberries
1 3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
4 1/4 cups water
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Add carrots, fennel, celery, and onion, and cook 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender and lightly browned, stirring frequently.
Stir in rice, chicken broth, cranberries, salt, thyme, pepper, and the water. Cover and heat to boiling.
Pour rice mixture into 13-by 9-inch glass baking dish; cover with foil and bake 1 hour 15 minutes or until liquid evaporates and rice is tender.

Loved everything about this recipe because it was so different than any other stuffing recipe I've tried. Great combination of flavors. I especially loved the fennel in it. If you are looking for a unique rice stuffing, I recommend this!
