Pulla Bread

Pronounced "boo-la", this is a Finnish bread that my mother's friend makes every year around the holidays.  It's SO amazing.  Braided, with cinnamon, cherries, and big granules of sugar on the top.  Slice a piece, pop it in the toaster and butter it....wow.  It goes without saying, I look forward to this EVERY year. Yum!

Korean Mandu

My hubby is Korean, and so we've spent a lot of time in Korea this past year. I've had a lot of amazing food and I'll definitely be posting it on here from time to time. These are really big steamed mandu, Korean style dumplings filled with veggies and beef. These babies were huge, and so delicious.
