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.

Korean Barbecue-Style Meatballs
I love anything Korean-BBQ style and I really love meatballs, so I knew I was going to love these — and I did! Make sure you deactivate the enzymes of the fresh ginger by soaking it in 1 tablespoon of vinegar for 5 minutes — otherwise, your meatballs will turn out soggy. Alternatively, you can add the ginger to the sauce.
