Pumpkin bread pudding.

Pumpkin bread and dried cranberries in a pumpkin custard, baked and topped with powdered sugar. Rich but not too rich, really flavorful and the cranberries add nice texture.

Cranberry scones.

Watching BBC programming, I got a hankering for scones. So I made these. Thank you, England. Served with butter, jam would be good too.

Gyoza.

Trader Joe's has got all things that are good. Like these Thai veggie gyoza, like potstickers stuffed with all kind of vegetables, and General Tsao dipping sauce. Yeah, they're kind of amazing. Served with garlic ginger chicken and fresh veggies.

Pumpkin swirl cheesecake.

I don't love a lot of pies*, but cheesecake is an exception. This one was very autumnal, not too rich but plenty of flavor, with a gingersnap & pecan crust.

*yeah, I said pies.

Stir-fry ginger beef.

Chinese food has to be my favorite cuisine, so I love making it at home. Thin strips of beef and ginger, green bell peppers, green onions, and all sorts of delicious sauce ingredients. Served with sauteed garlic green beans.
