Pumpkin Custard Pie
This pumpkin custard pie has delicious flavor, thanks to caramelized pumpkin puree and fall spices. Baking the hot filling in a chilled crust produces a smooth and shiny, good-textured custard and a well-baked crust for this holiday dessert. Works well with crumb crusts too, such as graham cracker or gingersnap.
Grilled Mongolian Pork Chops
These marinated Mongolian pork chops can be cooked any way you like, but for the true experience, you will want to cook these on a charcoal grill. For me, it's the smokiness that brings all these flavors together.
