Thai-style Chicken

oven roasted chicken, roasted pumpkin and carrots and sauteed kale

mixed fruit cobbler (those are plums, btw)

Here's a sample recipe for Easy Thai Chicken.

The Asian serving dishes were my mother-in-law's.

Tasty Little Dinner

I made a Thai-style sukiyaki for dinner.  For dessert, it was a mixture of fresh fruit topped with homemade Chantilly cream.  And I use my mother-in-law's Blue Ridge dinnerware to serve it.  There's a lot of Asia, some French...mixed with North Carolina.  The Sukiyaki sauce is crucial to this noodle soup, of course.  I use this brand. 

Another Quinoa Salad

I added broccoli, sweet potato and carrots to this one.

Party Starters

Back in August I created these charcuterie boards for a Spanish tapas dinner party up on Town Mountain.

Medley of Fruits

I add a pinch of salt, one tbsp of honey, lemon juice (one lemon), and some fresh juice from oranges.  Gogi Berries are a superfood you could also add.

Let There Be Veggies!

Sangrias

Certainly not the best photos.  And the Sangrias themselves were not exactly fabulous.  Nonetheless, it was a pretty good first time.  We used peaches and blackberries, and followed one of these recipes.
