Mary hosted and served several bottles of wine for our sipping pleasure.

Angelica brought a dip thickened with walnuts for our appetizer and served with sourdough dippers. 

I made roasted butternut squash. With the fresh cranberries it would be excellent for Thanksgiving. I also mixed in some dried cranberries.

Couscous is one of my favorite sides and Tonya made one filled with vegetables. With chickpeas for protein, it is very filling.

We prepared lentils and meatballs and this is a two time favorite. Mary had the meatballs already mixed and they were baked before going into the broth along with the lentils. If you use more broth, it's like a soup and reminds me of Italian Wedding soup except with Moroccan flavors.

Dessert did not disappoint and Carol served an apple dump cake alamode with caramel sauce. Yum!
