Imagine your Thanksgiving dinner, layered and baked lasagna style. The stuffing, the turkey, the potatoes and the gravy. I even snuck in a few green beans, in a nod to the green bean casserole!
You can make each layer from scratch for a casual take on the traditional Thanksgiving meal or throw it together the next day with your Thanksgiving leftovers!

Inspired by the “Thanksgiving in a Bucket” craze from years ago, this layered casserole takes the idea to a whole new level and makes an impressive presentation. Oh, and it’s completely gluten free!

After about 20 minutes the meat should be well browned and starting to caramelize on the bottom of the pan. Clear a spot in the middle of the pan and add the tomato paste. Cook for 2 minutes, then stir the tomato paste into the meat.

Simmer 3 minutes to allow some of the wine to cook off, then add the milk (or cream), tomatoes and stock.



This week I have been experimenting with my waffle recipe, to see if I could incorporate more fruits and fiber into breakfast. These hearty, dense waffles will stick to your ribs and start your morning off right!

Transfer to a serving platter and finish with a drizzle of olive oil. Garnish with fresh parsley and toasted pignoli.










Use the smaller slices on the bottom for the best fit. Drizzle one tsp. of the butter mixture over each stack and top with half of the grated cheese.














It should be falling apart tender. Spoon a little of the reserved sauce over the top. You can strain out the pepper flakes if you like.

Gather the dough into a ball, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest for 15-20 minutes at room temperature. This is a good time to wash the mixer bowl and attachments. 😉

Roll each piece of dough into a rope. This is the moment when you know you have a good gluten free dough. It rolls out beautifully without crumbling or breaking.
Using your fingers or a bench knife, gently roll each piece over the pasta board to create the ridges.
