If your kids will not eat Mac n Cheese made from real cheese, you need to trade them in on some who will.

I know! I have thought of this. But they keep sticking around!

Thanksgiving for us north of the border
Cooked on the Kamado
Brined the breast in a simple brine. Turned out perfectly, so moist and tender

Unfortunately, a turkey breast does not have the same presentation as a whole turkey. Although we only serve the breast meat as a main course, I usually cook the entire turkey. After we carve the white meat, everything else gets thrown in a stew pot and is boiled down until we can shred it. Then it is used for turkey Brunswick stew (something you might not have heard of in Canada as it is a southern dish), turkey ala king, etc.

Not the same presentation, but we weren't interested in dealing with a whole turkey this year. We had some turkey breasts from some deconstructed birds we did when they were on sale for $.95/lb earlier this year
Did up all the legs and wings for use in turkey pot pie and soups this fall as well as some turkey tacos. Roasted them off low and slow in the oven until they were fall of the bone and could be shredded
Sometimes the presentation just takes some better pictures and a sharper knife

I was bored, so I decided to whip up a dozen or so Chinese ribs.

Did the turkey a bit different this year. It was a small 10 lbs.

Nice job @Torstenlaw. I hope the turkey I cook in November turns out to be as beautiful as yours. I hope it was quite tasty.

Aldi had some brown sugar bourbon chuck roast discounted so I added a little rub to it and smoked low and slow for a few hours until it hit 165 then let it cool down a bit , brushed on some bbq sauce and put it back on the Traeger at 300 until it glazed the sauce over. Great flavor, simple to cook.

Did you like the brown sugar sauce/marinade used by Aldi?

Normally, I purchase plain meat and add my own marinades and sauces, but sometimes you get a great deal.

I’m like you I hardly purchase pre seasoned meat, although it was actually good. However I did add some coffee rub then a bbq sauce glaze. I would buy one again.

We do not go to Aldi very often, but sometimes they have great deals.

I usually don’t buy meats from them unless it’s a good deal. I mainly go for bread (loaf bread $.50, hb buns .89) milk, fruit and veggies. The name brand items are over priced. Being a Homebuilder and Aldi is next to Lowe’s it makes sense to just stop in.

Just a simple dinner with some pork chops last night.
