High Gluttony is about cooking, consuming, relaxing, and learning a few things along the way. Pour yourself a drink, light up a joint, or settle in with some tea, and join Gretchen and Becca for their latest adventure.
A little programming note for our Gluttoneers - we're taking a break after this episode and wish everyone a happy holiday season! But, for now, on to shepard's pie...We've prepared a lot of mashed potatoes around here but adding them to the top of a casserole had eluded us until now. Behold, the shepard's pie! Gretchen's version includes ground beef and lamb and Becca's uses mushrooms instead of meat. While it did take a while to prepare and complete this dish, it was definitely worth it in the end. But what's not to love with potatoes, cream, butter, veggies, and more butter. Yes, please.
It's soup season! We celebrate this cozy time of year with a tribute to our favorite, Marcella Hazan. Starting with dried beans and ending with lemon zest and olive oil, this easy and simple soup will be go-to dish for us this fall. Not only is our recipe from Marcella but we take it a step further and use a white bean named after the chef herself. It really is a soup situation with Marcella.

We've been wanting to make homemade root beer since March, but it takes about two weeks to get to the final product and we had to make a ginger bug, not to mention sourcing the unusual ingredients used. Oof. All in, this was quite the endeavor. We mix our finished root beer with ice cream and make what we call funky floats. Was it worth it? Join us on a root beer adventure to find out.Recipe source:https://nourishedkitchen.com/homemade-root-beer-recipe/
Our latest adventure finds up elbow deep in rice krispies, chocolate, peanut butter, and butterscotch. It's that time of year when there's an excuse to eat sugary treats all day long and we're starting with a mid-west favorite, the scotcheroo. We found these ingredients to be a great base to add in your favorite toppings like pretzels, coconut, or dried fruit, and because you use a 9x13 pan, there's plenty of space to play with and plenty of treats to supply a large group. Gretchen also breaks down what makes butterscotch different from caramel and we test our patience waiting for the final product to cool down. Off we go on another sweet journey!Recipe Sources: https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/scotcheroos/https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/homemade-pumpkin-spice-latte/
Never content with making something simple, we get creative with green apples and put them into syrups, blenders, and even the freezer. Talking a little about what makes green apples unique, we ultimately end up with a few variations on an herby, apple margarita to kick off fall. Join us in making a "healthy" margarita lol.Recipe:https://olmecaaltos.com/apple-margarita/
