Hi everyone! Sorry I haven’t been keeping up with my blog I have been very busy and am pleased to give you a sneak peak at the cookbook for my wonderful sister-in-law, Aeri. Keep in mind, this is just a taste of things to come. It is still a work in progress and the layout might change by the time it is printed. It will take a while to have the cookbook ready to publish but hopefully you will be seeing it soon on aeriskitchen.com.
Ok, so this one is self explanatory but my grandmother used to makes this on a semi-frequent basis and I can get hungry for it at times. Very easy to make and it’s not hard to try to remember the ingredients.
This recipe is always a hit. If you make it for a pot-luck dinner be prepared to give the recipe because someone will ask you for it. When buying the bok choy try to get one with lots of greens and it shouldn’t be wilted. If you are eating this over several days I recommend keeping the toasted noodle/almond mix in a separate container then just add them as you eat the salad. If you mix it all together then refrigerate it the noodles will get soggy and past one day I don’t like to eat it that way. My sister-in-law loves this recipe and I hope you will too!
I used to make this so often that I had the recipe memorized. There is plenty of room for adaptation with the filling and I have changed the ingredients and the amounts with success every time. Because I do everything to taste with this particular recipe I do not have measurements for some of the ingredients. Start by making the dough first so that it has time to rise while you are making the filling.
Although it was a little late in the year to be able to enjoy the lavender field, it was still worth the trip to check out the quaint little store at the Peace Valley Lavender Farm. It is located at (more…)
Sawaii is located in Montgomery County and I highly recommend eating at this Indian restaurant. The food is great! My friends and I just order several dishes then share the food. During my last trip we ordered the lamb chops and I have never had lamb so tender and flavorful. It was so good next time I might just order it for my meal.

I have never tried a corn fritter recipe that is as good as my grandmother’s recipe. Perhaps I am bias in my opinion or just haven’t tried enough recipes, but the consistency or taste never seems quite right. I hope you will enjoy this family recipe as much as I do.
I have just returned from an enjoyable afternoon trip to Lake Raystown, in Huntingdon County, PA. I never would have imagined that I would go there in November but the day could not have been better. The temperature was in the mid 60’s and it was just beautiful on the lake. There was very little traffic, mostly fishermen but I did see one jet ski and two individuals that were brave enough to water ski.
The boats that normally would be tied to the docks were out of the water so it made it seem deserted but I truly would go back this time of year. Sadly my friend was taking the boat to be winterized after our time on the lake, so if the weather is nice this coming weekend I will not be able to go back.
Back in May I had to travel to Clearwater, Florida for my friend’s wedding. The unfortunate part is that there was a front that was stuck over the Clearwater area the entire time I was there. I did get some pool time and beach time which was great but for the most part it was overcast and rained on and off each day.
If anyone is ever traveling in the area I want to highly recommend the Gulf Fish Spread that is available at Jimmy’s Fish House & Iguana Bar (521 S Gulfview Blvd, Clearwater, FL 33767) I really think I could have eaten this amazing appetizer every night for my supper and I think I could eat some right now. I unfortunately do not have a photo of the restaurant or the appetizer to share with you.
