Rochelle's Fruit Salad
"I had this roommate in college, Rochelle, and she made this fruit salad for our apartment Thanksgiving. It's creamy and sweet but not too rich and suprisingly healthy! I love to bring it to picnics but it's a hit any place I've brought it. Please note that the fruit below can be substituted/swaped as needed. I've used bananas, apples and drained canned mandarin oranges in winter when good fruit is sparse. If you use bananas or apples be sure to toss them in fresh lemon juice to prevent browning. As long as it's about 6-7 cups of fruit you're all good!"

I'm a true Alaskan. Alaskan winters means lots of dark slow time to cook! I love love love to snowboard and be in the snow. Hiking is also a love of mine. Anything outdoors just does it for me. I love cooking light and healthy but of course love to indulge. I have an amazing family here and an amazing job which is family run. I have a German husband who has inspired my cooking style to include many european flavors.
