Sliced Mangoes



I usually peel about three of the smaller mangoes at a time.  They are sweeter.  The larger ones are a bit more tart, but go perfectly with the sugar/chili dipping mix I make.  In Thailand, we like to dip fruit into sweet & spicy mixes.

Check out all the mango varieties you can sample in Thailand.

Broccoli Salad



There's bacon in there, too!  I will add a recipe later.

Healthy Snack

 

I sliced two types of apples, and then whipped up a "dip" that's given out at fruit stands in Thailand.  It's simply salt, sugar and chili.  This looks quite lovely displayed on Blue Ridge plate that belonged to my mother-in-law.

Boiled Egg Custard





Back in December, I made boiled custard, using a family recipe - the same recipe I used for the batch above.  Each time, though, I cut back pretty significantly on the sugar.  Do that to your liking.  Start with a 1/4 to 1/2 reduction.

Citrus

It's a bit more work, but eating oranges this way is really nice.
