Slightly sweet and sour. Ginger and garlic Asian dressing was super flavourful. The napa cabbage, carrots, and radishes gave the salad a nice crunch. Definitely will be making it again with my leftover turkey. I'm sure that it works great with chicken as well.

The pumpkin filling was very smooth and silky-like texture, I used all evaporated milk, reduced the sugar a bit, and the pumplin pie looked and tasted great with the right amount of sweetness. I had this tasty pumpkin pie with a dollop of Greek yogurt, and I absolutely enjoyed it.

A scrumptious breakfast casserole made with hash brown potatoes, bacon and cheddar cheese. An American classic that's perfect when you have overnight guests.
