—a mother and daughter recording the conversations we'd be having anyway. Tori's in her late 20s, constantly calling with life questions. Karen's in her 50s, answering those calls and realizing she's still figuring things out too.
Creamy, cheesy, and tastes like home. What could be better? I (Karen) didn’t grow up with mac ‘n cheese. In fact, the first time I had it was in college and it was Kraft Tori and I like to make this as a side dish for braised short ribs in the winter or as a side when Ross smokes a brisket in the summer.
I (Karen) don’t love pumpkin pie. I know, how dare I say such a thing. My go-to Thanksgiving dessert is either apple pie or my mother’s pecan pie. That’s not to say I don’t love pumpkin desserts, but straight up pumpkin pie just isn’t my thing. So when I found this recipe for a beautiful layered gingerbread and pumpkin dessert, I had to try it.
