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.

Lime/Lemon Pie

Swiss Cake Roll

Last August I made a couple of Swiss Cake Rolls - one when my sister-in-law came to town, and another when my husband's cousin visited Asheville for the first time.

Below is the one I made when Allen's cousin visited. 

Gang Jued (Thai Vegetable Soup w/ Pork)

 

Raspberry Champagne Cake

This is the third one I have done.  I called this one "Raspberry Beret" Champagne Cake, in memory of Prince.  I have another one in the works, and it will be served on Christmas day.

Three Ladies

This is one brand of rice I buy in Asheville.  You can get it at one of the Asian markets.  I usually go to Kim's Oriental Food and Gifts.

More Caramel Cakes

For Thanksgiving I made a caramel cake, using the same Southern Living recipe I like.  A few days after Thanksgiving, I made a second caramel cake.  I gave most of it to my friends.  This second one I had some orange zest.

the one for Thanksgiving

and then this one

Swiss Chocolate Roll Cake

Pear Cobbler

I baked it in this dish that belonged to my mother-in-law.

Kai Cha Om

Acacia Shoot Omelets

I made this after our most recent return from Thailand.  I got the Acadia at an Asian market in Asheville.
