Sushi Bake
This savory, satisfying sushi bake recipe is a local favorite in Hawaii. It's the only thing I make to take to parties anymore. Even at a smaller gathering, the baking dish is empty at the end of the night. Like most casseroles, this dish is very forgiving, so don't sweat it if you can't find an ingredient or aren't sure about the quantities.
Chipotle and Adobo Pickled Eggs
These pickled eggs are great sliced and served on a salad or just eat them plain for a quick low carb snack! You can adjust the heat by adding more or less chipotle and adobo.
Roasted Duck
Roast duck is a nice change from traditional turkey at Thanksgiving. I made it one year and served it with all the usual side dishes, and my whole family — who had never eaten duck before — enjoyed it.
