I was bummed, because I did put in more sauce than the recipe called for. I too like it saucy

I’m so wiped! Two days of prep but I feel good about tomorrow going smoothly and less stressful. I kind of blew up our tradition of carnitas on Thanksgiving Eve by going all out with taco toppings but it was so worth it. Delicious! This started with our friendsgivings in Tucson (I miss that and those friends so much!) and Eric and I just decided to keep on doing it. Makes for nice alternative leftovers from the typical. Toppings tonight include quick picked red onions, cilantro and diced white onion, shredded cabbage, radishes, avocado, queso fresco, and salsa verde made from frozen puréed roasted garden tomatillos. The tray with carnitas is how we get crispy bits under the broiler - the pork roast was cooked in a crockpot with citrus juices, tons of garlic, cumin and other seasonings and chopped chipotle chiles en adobo.

My favorite pie
Cranberry Streusel… Health food, walnuts and cranberries…
I have made it jillions of times… all of that cooks down! This is a pic from in the past.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you celebrating.
Happy Every Day to all of you who do not.

I haven’t made a cheesecake in possibly a decade. Couldn’t resist the double graham cracker crust challenge my husband gave me, since we both love that crust. Turns out it’s just like riding a bike.

I picture you having a regular house and a second bigger house to hold all your Christmas stuff. This pic seems to have been taken at the Christmas house.

Gnocchi with champions,
broccoli y parmesan!
@Sabrina80: these ones are from “burger” no wheat, but not declared as glutenfree…
They are muuuuch more fluffy and so big compared to the ones from “rewe frei von”.
I bought another bag with spinach as they were on discount. (cooling section at rewe)

I finally got a Costco membership. It’s a bit of a drive to get there, so I’ve never bothered to buy one. Mostly stocked up on stuff for hubby & little guy. But got this cheese advent calendar for myself
