We ordered a Thanksgiving meal from Cracker Barrel.  Adam and I have a tradition of having a Thanksgiving with just the two of us.  This year we did it on Wednesday.  I was at work so he picked the meal up and he cooked all of it!  He said the restaurant had a tent set up outside and the meals were in very nice cracker barrel boxes with our name on it.  We did 1pm pickup and he said it wasn't busy until he was ready to leave.  1pm was a great pickup time!   The turkey breast, mashed potatoes, and broccoli casserole were standout great.  The sweet potatoes were okay with a heavy orange flavor.  I wouldn't get the entire meal again.  I'd order a la carte next time and make our own sides and rolls.  I did add broth to the turkey and I seasoned it with a little salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, and paprika.     After our private Thanksgiving we had the family Thanksgiving and I made the stuffing balls.  Cracker B...

It has been a while since I made paleo cauliflower mashed potatoes!  I needed a double batch of what I made to cover my casserole dish.  Next time I'll get it right.

Butter or plant butter Almond milk, plain unsweetened salt, pepper, garlic powder I would double the cauliflower next time!  

I made a huge batch of taco mac and got to eat leftovers for days.  This is the taco mac recipe from 2022!  I loved this recipe so much I made it too often and haven't made it in a long time.  

1 chuck roast 1 onion thinly slices 1 packet of Good Seasonings Italian Seasoning Dash Worcestershire Sauce Dash onion powder Dash garlic powder Tablespoon or 2 of brown sugar A good drizzle of BBQ sauce Some chicken or beef broth in the bottom of crockpot.  Not to cover the entire roast! Throw everything in crockpot until the beef is falling apart and shreds easily. Bun of your choice.  I toasted the top bun with a little garlic salt, onion powder, parsley and a smear of plant butter. Add cheddar cheese or I used American cheese slice. You can add a little more bbq sauce to sandwich if you like.  My boyfriend likes it saucy,
