Cranberry Sangria
I came up with this while playing around with sangria recipes. It has now become a traditional beverage at Thanksgiving and Christmas; my family actually got upset the one time I didn't make it!
Dol Sot Bi Bim Bap
Dol sot bi bim bap is Korean for hot stone bowl with mixed rice — oh, and vegetables, meat, and egg. My go-to favorite Korean dish, next to haemul pajeon and bulgogi. I'm a big carnivore, so my version has about 25% more meat than the traditional version.
Double Layer Pumpkin Pie
This double layer pumpkin pie combines cheesecake and pumpkin pie on top of a ready-made graham cracker crust to create one delicious dessert with two luscious layers — light and fluffy cream cheese and perfectly spiced, creamy pumpkin that's thickened with a pudding mix. Add this easy, no-bake pie to your holiday menu, or serve anytime you're craving a decadent treat.
