Grandma's Pumpkin Something
My Granna would often make a dessert called "pumpkin something" - it often was in the dessert lineup at Thanksgiving and is especially delicious served with fresh whipped cream!
Fried Kimchi
Kimchi is a popular Korean side dish featuring fermented cabbage. Other vegetables can be used and applied with the same fermentation process to produce a similar taste and different textures. In this recipe, I fry some kimchi to completely alter the taste and texture for a smoky doppelganger! It is so great with Korean barbeque and with plain old rice. It is certainly one of my favorites and so easy to make. Enjoy hot or cold! Sprinkle sesame seeds on top as a garnish.
Gobi Aloo (Indian Style Cauliflower with Potatoes)
This is a basic Indian dish that is very tasty! Adjust the spices to your preferences! To make it even better, you could add a bit of stewed tomatoes.
