Here’s what I made from the November Paint Bucket
Spinach Stuffing Balls from Happier than a Pig in Mud turned into Nutty Spinach Stuffing Bites and were featured on Lori’s Culinary Creations
Cranberry Walnut Pinwheels from Diethood turned into Cranberry Walnut Pie Spirals with Gorgonzola Garlic Butter
Stuffed New Potatoes turned into Vegetable Soufflé Stuffed Potatoes
Slow Cook Bacon Wrapped BBQ Chicken with Apples from Closet Cooking was a BBQ lover’s dream
Eggplant, Gruyere & Prosciutto Lasagna from Epicurious is a wonderful twist on traditional lasagna
Pumpkin Enchiladas from Newlyweds turned into Savory Pumpkin Enchiladas and became a new family favorite
Butter Pecan Toffee Pie turned into Million $ Pound Cake with Almond Toffee Crown and was featured on A Peek into My Paradise and Miz Helen’s Country Cottage
Gorgonzola Garlic Butter , adapted from Cooking with Curls is a great addition to your holiday table~
My favorite recipe from November was…Savory Pumpkin Enchiladas 🎃…no, wait, Cranberry Walnut Pie Spirals…no, no…Gorgonzola Garlic Butter….NO! It has to be Million $ Pound Cake with Almond Toffee Crown!! Oh, dear, I can’t decide…the Eggplant Prosciutto & Gruyère Lasagna was pretty amazing…and those Vegetable Soufflé Stuffed Potatoes, were a big hit…and the Nutty Spinach Stuffing Balls disappeared…the guys lapped up that Bacon BBQ Chicken with Apples…
Hope you have a tasty month!
