This chicken egg drop soup is born from a love of the soup, many trips to my favorite Chinese restaurant, and many questions. This variation is the result. Simplicity is the key. The soup can be reheated or frozen and reheated.

Fresh Fruit Flan
This fruit flan recipe was given to me by a great cook and great friend. In some countries, such as the U.K. and Germany, flan is not a baked custard dessert but instead similar to a fruit tart, made with a cake-like crust, custard filling, and fresh fruit on top. This recipe is a riff on that style of flan, made with a cream cheese filling reminiscent of what we in the U.S. call a fruit pizza.
