The Weekly Menu including an Early Birthday Celebration

 As we finish out the first week of October the leaves are slowly starting to change.  Our Corn Maze outing was postponed the second weekend in a row because of rain.  We are hoping it is nice enough and dry enough on Saturday to finally take the Angel Face.  She gets to spend the night with us on Saturday either way so if we can't do the maze again we will at least go out to the pumpkin patch so we can carve pumpkins while she's here.

Karen's Lasagna Bolognese #FoodieExtravaganza

This meaty, rich, and savory lasagna has very little cheese as compared to my other versions but tastes as if it is as cheese laden as any I have made.

What's Good?~~This Romesco Sauce!! #LitHappens

I was provided a copy of What's Good? A Memoir in Fourteen Ingredients by Peter Hoffman by publisher, Abrams Press.  I received no monetary compensation for this post.  All opinions are strictly my own.

What's Good

I belong to an online bookclub, led by Cam of Culinary Adventures with Camilla, called Lit Happens.  When Cam asked if any of us were interested in reading this memoir and creating a recipe found in it or inspired by it, in return for a free copy, I was all in.

Slow Cooker Shredded Beef Grilled Tacos #SundayFunday

These delicious soft grilled tacos start off with the beef being slow cooked with aromatics and spices before being shredded and placed onto flour shells with cheese and grilled.  A little more work but absolutely worth it.
