 "Whether you’re making a holiday feast or want to change up your Sunday dinner, my Roasted Pork Shoulder is the recipe to try. The pork is roasted until tender, seasoned with orange, sage, rosemary, and fennel seeds, and finished with a simple gravy. This is the roast you’ll make on repeat!" - description of recipe from Jim at Sip and Feast.

One of my favorite meals is roast pork with black beans (frijoles negros) and white rice.  My recipe for mojo roast pork is here and my recipe for black beans is here.

Deep-Dish Apple Pie

"If your favorite part of a classic apple pie is the filling, where all those soft apples are covered in a cinnamon-sugar sauce, then you need to make our very best deep-dish apple pie recipe. A deep-dish apple pie is baked in, well, a deep dish, like a 13×9-inch pan. This means there’s a lot more room to pile in a mountain of apples, so there’s even more filling. Of course, the quintessential flaky pie crust is baked right on top until it’s golden brown and the filling becomes bubbly and thick" - description of this recipe by Taste of Home.

Anything with a good apple pie filling is good for me . . . but this pie looks extra special.  Does it get any better than this?

One of my favorite ice cream flavors is rich and buttery butter pecan . . . I can imagine a cheesecake with that awesome flavor!

This cheesecake, which comes from Taste of Home, is a strong contender for our holiday dessert table this year.  We just might make it before the holidays!
