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!
