      Hey Myshelle. This recipe sounds delicious. I have been thinking of incorporating Cornish hens into one of our family functions, and this recipe fits the bill. We have some beautiful Swiss Chard growing in our garden and I'd probably saute some with garlic and fold it into the stuffing with a pinch of allspice! Thanks for sharing!
