Chef John's Best Mushroom Gravy
This mushroom gravy recipe is easy to make from scratch. It can be made with any type of stock, but I used beef stock here since I'm going to be serving the sauce with meatloaf.
Magical Unicorn Poop Meringues
This spin on classic meringues is fun and tasty! I have even turned off the heat and let them continue to sit in the oven overnight. They are not so much baking as they are drying out the moisture. Although humidity can affect them, I have made them on many a wet day day here in rainy Oregon. I hope you enjoy them!
