Hola Amigos: Today I'm sharing with you an easy recipe to prepare Plantains! I can't get tired of this delicious and versatile fruit! No matter the stage of it's life cycle, it's good! To make this recipe you need to have the plantains as dark skinned as possible, almost black or black! It's o.k. they are not spoiled, they are perfect for this dish!<br />
Dark plantains are easy to find at your grocery store. By the time they are out in the shelves for us to purchase, they are already brownish yellow, after that it takes only a couple of days for them to turn black.<br />

Platanos en Tentacion or Sweet Plantains are an almost mandatory side for all of our meals. Much like fries in America or Tortillas in Mexico, plantains are loved green when they are a salty snack or like in this case, sweet and cooked slowly in butter and sugar, your favorite fruit juice or Coke. When you eat them all the time, variety is important!<br />

Hola Amigos! After cooking all week, we all feel like taking a break on the weekends, and the best way of doing it (and cheapest) is to cook a casserole big enough to feed an army and tasty and satisfying for your soldiers not to mind reheating leftovers the next day!<br />
Mostaccioli is a favorite. My grandma used to called it <i>Macarrones Asados</i>! She made the most delicious food ever, well I think we all believe our grandma's are the best at everything anyways, right? I'm sure they are!<br />

I asked my readers on FB how they have theirs, with meat as a main dish or plain as a side, but you know Facebook, <i>No One</i> gets to see what you post there unless a) <i>you have a large fan base</i> b) <i>you pay to promote your status</i>, or c) <i>your family and friends love you so much they keep up with what you do</i>. I'm blessed and proud to have option C . I got 2 answers, one from my friend <a class="g-profile" href="http://plus.google.com/110266457022867742998" target="_blank">+Diane Kaul</a> blogger at <a href="http://giraffe-legs.blogspot.com/">Giraffe Legs</a> and she likes it as a main dish with meat in it, delicious and with endless options and the other one from my sweet adoptive little "sis" and blog designer, Brooke, creative at <a href="http://uplifteddesigns.com/">Uplifted Designs</a> who likes it as a side. Knowing my boys, I decided to play it safe and make a big casserole as a side.<br />

This is a common recipe, everybody has their own little extra special ingredient and that is what I'm interested on exploring. New possibilities and tastes for a classic!<br />

<br />
My motto bake 2 freeze 1 applies to this dish, only don't bake it after you are done preparing it, freeze it well sealed right away and then bake it for that day you are scratching your head for what to have for dinner!<br />
They all liked it and I was able to stay out of he kitchen for the weekend a win win situation in my book if you ask me!<br />

Hola Amigos! It's a beautiful 15 F today!!!! Oh yes! Beautiful compared to yesterday's bone shattering -16 (feeling like -35 F)! I haven't been out of my little house since Sunday when I went to the store and stock up like I was going to hibernate for months. I don't drive in the snow, so I knew what was coming for me! Truth be told, although I'm a homebody, I like to have the "choice" of getting in my car and drive to the store to get that extra ingredient missing of a recipe, take a quick trip to my favorite coffee shop or just go browse the latest and greatest at the local dollar store.<br />

I'm serving time in an Ice Cell and turning into a Hot Mess (aka<i> Cabin Fever-itis</i>), but since the only thing worse would be running out of chocolate, I'm celebrating my lock up with this Spiked Hot Tamale Hot Chocolate, and believe me...it is a celebration on a mug for sure!<br />

Nothing fancy here, just a few ingredients with a lot of flavor and kick! Hard to feel when it's so cold, the extra juice bottles and gallons of milk I got on Sunday, kept in the garage, are frozen!!!! Yikes!<br />

With temperatures getting lower literally by the hour, only something hot and creamy will do the trick to bring the body back to an "I'm ready to go outside and do more shoveling" state of mind!<br />

This is one of my favorite soups and the I get it every Friday (the only day they prepare it) at the Farmer's Restaurant by my house. I'm not 100% sure my version has all the "magic" ingredients they put on theirs, but is quite close, and will do for as long as we remain snowed in!<br />

You can have it with pita bread on the side or like me, open your oyster crackers and have fun. I always keep a big bag or 2 at home.<br />

My soup has a bit more rice therefore thicker than the Farmer's version, but as you all know, I just love rice, maybe as much as I love chocolate , lol...crazy I know!<br />

I sure hope you are not part of the 140 million Americans feeling the effects of the "Freeze" as the Weather Channel reports. But if like me you are stuck right in the middle of the whole thing, this is your soup to have!

<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">Avgolemono - Lemon Rice and Chicken Soup</span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>1 Large Whole Chicken Breast, Chopped (around 1 1/2-2 cups)</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>5 Cups Chicken Broth (for more wholesome flavor use the broth where you cook your chicken)</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>1/2 Cup Rice (I use 3/4 Cup since I like my soup thick and with lots of rice)</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>1 TBSP Butter or Olive Oil</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>1 Cup Onion, Diced</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>1/2 Cup Carrots, Diced </b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>1/2 Cup Celery, Diced</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>3 Eggs</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>1 Large Lemon, Juiced</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>Salt to taste</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>Lemon slices for garnish</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>Pita Bread or Oyster Crackers </b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>In a pan, melt the butter on a little bit of oil for it not to burn or heat olive oil alone and saute veggies until onions and celery are translucent, around 5 minutes. Set aside.</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>On a large pot add chicken broth bring to a simmer and add rice. Cook until rice blooms (opens), add sauteed veggies and chicken. Add red pepper flakes and salt if needed. Keep cooking for flavors to integrate, about 5-10 minutes.</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>Now comes the tricky part, in a separate bowl beat eggs and while doing this add the lemon juice. Keep the whisking going, now slowly add a ladle at a time of the soup mixture to temper the eggs, you don't want to end with an omelette in you soup. Add one or two ladles full, I don't mind if rice or veggies get into it, the idea is to bring the eggs at the same temp of the soup in the pot.</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>Pour the egg-lemon mixture into the soup pot keep mixing and remove from heat. Serve hot with lemon wedges, oyster crackers or pita bread, enjoy!</b></i></div>

Hola Amigos! I really wanted to make the first post of 2014 memorable! Perhaps an awesome and gooey dessert or a 5 star meal, but after getting and digging a foot of snow the first 2 days of the year and with temperatures today -5 without windchill, the only kind of food I can think of is good old fashion comfort food, nothing fancy, just good!!!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This rice is very common in the Atlantic Coast of my country. Folks there eat it as part of their daily diet with saucy chicken or spicy escovitch fish! I had mine with a hamburger patty in a spicy onion and mushroom sauce, my 1-2-3 version of Salisbury steak!<br />

Add extra beans with butter if you want! I know, not the leanest and healthier thing to eat but it's good I tell ya! On the plus side, it's a side dish rich in fiber!<br />

<br />
You can taste the sweetness of the coconut on every bite but by no means the rice is sweet, just a hint!<br />
As a side, serve it with something definitely sweet, yellow plantains, mine I soaked in coke, that's why they are a bit on the dark side.<br />

<br />
The colorful napkins I got as part of the items my son's teacher asked for their Xmas party. The few ornaments are the ones at bottom of the ornament bin...you know, the ones that have lost the little top hook thingy through the seasons...these particular ones, also from the dollar store and a little strand of battery operated lights that I discovered this year for just $1!<br />

<br /></div>
The only new addition was the snowman hat that I also bought at the dollar store for my son to wear at his school party. Put it all together and here is your wreath!<br />

<br />
I love a quick project! I didn't have a wreath for my outside door this year, I guess it slipped my mind with all the other things I had going on, but that is not the case now!<br />
Thank you for your visit today friends! Hope you are having a wonderful official first day of Winter! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!<br />

Hola Amigos: This is an easy chicken recipe that will set your taste buds on a party mood! It's tender, juicy and spicy, just like a festive meal should be!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TdLvKXYjIIw/UrTW1QEjxmI/AAAAAAAAJ44/Xc_BqiyV_bk/s1600/028a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TdLvKXYjIIw/UrTW1QEjxmI/AAAAAAAAJ44/Xc_BqiyV_bk/s640/028a.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
It also uses very inexpensive chicken quarters, but certainly you could use any chicken cuts you have handy! I think that is why we all love chicken! it's so versatile!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6KuN3mk_Amg/UrTVJzftL2I/AAAAAAAAJ4Y/s6qFmtavb5E/s1600/031a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Smothered Fiesta Chicken Recipe, beans, corn and jalapenos combined in this easy recipe bringing new fun life to your usual chicken dinner! #chickendinner #chicken #casserole" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6KuN3mk_Amg/UrTVJzftL2I/AAAAAAAAJ4Y/s6qFmtavb5E/s640/031a.jpg" height="480" title="Smothered Fiesta Chicken Recipe" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
When it comes to the ingredients, there are very few, corn and black beans take center stage, highlighted by a few spices and a whole lot of flavor! It's smothered in a delicious tomato based sauce where all the ingredients combine and become one with the chicken! You can hardly see the chicken...but it's there, under all that goodness!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FHqHLW7_dY0/UrTWT-wSyuI/AAAAAAAAJ4o/C23w-YePRaU/s1600/027a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FHqHLW7_dY0/UrTWT-wSyuI/AAAAAAAAJ4o/C23w-YePRaU/s640/027a.jpg" height="500" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
It goes in the oven leaving you plenty of time while it cooks to get some things done around the house.<br />
I personally love the bright colors, the combination of textures and of course the flavors!. Serve it with some white rice or flour tortillas and dinner would be memorable!<br />

Hola Amigos: One of the best things about the Holiday season is food! Ham, Turkey, Pork, Rice the sides you name it, but what I really love is something I always bake no matter what right around this time, Flan! It's a typical dessert for Christmas and celebrations in many Latin American countries and the best part is that is super easy to make.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TLT2Ojjiwl8/UrDRF57ZqcI/AAAAAAAAJ3E/Ty53OVKGV5I/s1600/023a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Holiday Chocolate Flan Recipe, chocolate cake and flan come together in one sweet and easy to make dessert! #flan #chocolatecake #holiday" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TLT2Ojjiwl8/UrDRF57ZqcI/AAAAAAAAJ3E/Ty53OVKGV5I/s640/023a.jpg" height="522" title="Holiday Chocolate Flan Recipe" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This time I decided to try friend's recipe for chocolate flan that I knew it was going to be a hit since it combines the best of the best, chocolate cake and flan! yumm!!! It takes a little time in the oven, but at the end you get rewarded for your patience with the best dessert ever, a spongy chocolate cake topped with smooth and sweet custard! oh boy!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FLPKKnafM8I/UrDq67jVSOI/AAAAAAAAJ3Q/t6H-4sXScyQ/s1600/036a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FLPKKnafM8I/UrDq67jVSOI/AAAAAAAAJ3Q/t6H-4sXScyQ/s640/036a.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
Don't worry about perfection with this dessert! It's a rustic one, meant to be eaten in a few bites and believe me, it will!. Since it's a cake you can make it pretty for the few minutes it will be at the table with your favorite icing or whipped cream.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I also added more "manjar" or dulce de leche to mine..you can't never have enough of this good thing!<br />
When slice it's just pretty and delicious, a bite of flan and a bite of chocolate cake! Nothing else to say, just enjoy the goodness.<br />

<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">Holiday Chocolate Flan </span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>1 box Chocolate Cake of your choice</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>Eggs, Oil, Water needed to prepare the cake according to instructions on the box</b></i></div>

<i><b>5 Eggs</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>1 Cup Evaporated Milk</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>1 Cup Condensed Milk, divided</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>1 Cup Dulce de Leche</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>1 tsp Vanilla Extract</b></i></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>Preheat oven at 350 F degrees.</b></i></div>

<i><b>Prepare the cake according the box instructions. Set aside. </b></i><br />
<i><b>In a large bowl (I use my blender), add and mix well the eggs, evaporated milk, condensed milk, vanilla and Kahlua.</b></i><br />
<i><b>Use half of the Dulce the Leche to coat a previously buttered baking dish (a 9 inch square or round). Pour the chocolate cake mix and then the flan mixture.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in a bath Marie for about 45 minutes or until a fork in the middle comes clean. Remove from oven.</b></i><br />
<i><b>Let it cool for a few minutes and place a plate upside down over the baking dish and turn the plate and baking dish over. </b></i><br />

Hola Amigos: Today I'm sharing with you a recipe using a sometimes overlooked fish, Cod! This mild flavored fish is so inexpensive compared to others and rich in vitamins A, C and D as well as Omega 3's that we should all included on regular basis as part of our diets.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AJYHuH7iV-A/Uq8akCOaFTI/AAAAAAAAJ0s/u8WqLjn124M/s1600/050a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Baked Cod with Lemon and Orange Recipe, the flavors of summer combine deliciously in this easy to make recipe. 20 minutes and ready to serve and enjoy! #cod #lemon #fish #orange #fishmeals" border="0" height="486" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AJYHuH7iV-A/Uq8akCOaFTI/AAAAAAAAJ0s/u8WqLjn124M/s640/050a.jpg" title="Baked Cod with Lemon and Orange Recipe" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Back in my country is very popular in it's dried salted version. I remember the semi lengthy process my mom used to go through every time we had it for dinner. It was well worth the effort,we loved it there, but oh boy, you won't find this girl doing all that work now, just thinking of trying to "fish" for all the tiny needles even before starting cooking it, makes me want to open a can of tuna instead, also there is the matter of the "fishy" smell salted dried cod has, that alone will make all my guys run out the door in panic,lol. Don't get me wrong, it's delicious just like lox, but it takes a lot of work to prepare.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-96JEBrKAQbo/Uq8fHKC0KeI/AAAAAAAAJ1c/Cgesil0iQEM/s1600/coda.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-96JEBrKAQbo/Uq8fHKC0KeI/AAAAAAAAJ1c/Cgesil0iQEM/s640/coda.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
No problem with fresh cod filet though, it's mild flavor allows this fish to wonderfully take any flavors you want to add. This time we added citrus notes of lemon and orange!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kZAL4XG4ufk/Uq8aDoBxWoI/AAAAAAAAJ0k/gzIefLk2GzQ/s1600/009a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Baked Cod with Lemon and Orange Recipe, Delicious, colorful and ready in only few minutes, just what we need to make everybody happy on busy days and nights! #cod #lemon #orange #fish #fishmeals" border="0" height="482" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kZAL4XG4ufk/Uq8aDoBxWoI/AAAAAAAAJ0k/gzIefLk2GzQ/s640/009a.jpg" title="Baked Cod with Lemon and Orange Recipe" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Also as you all know my favorite method of preparing seafood is to steam it in a bag and then quickly crisp it and brown it for a few minutes outside the bag and preparing a little sauce with the delicious juices rendered in the cooking process.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-voIqtqC8Vow/Uq8bzJgq0iI/AAAAAAAAJ1M/FPm_ly8m1Xw/s1600/068a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-voIqtqC8Vow/Uq8bzJgq0iI/AAAAAAAAJ1M/FPm_ly8m1Xw/s640/068a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The little sauce I created has a hint of tangy ginger to complement the citrus fruity flavors already in the fish.<br />
A super quick and healthy recipe for times when we are all busy trying to catch up with office parties, hosting our own or just trying to get from one place to another with heavy holiday traffic! 20 minutes in the oven and enjoy!<br />

Hola Amigos! It's been a little while since I made a smoothie and even though holiday flavors like cinnamon and peppermint should be on my mind while the snow falls outside, I can't help but thinking that in other parts of the world it's sunny, toasty hot and summer is on it's way! I guess you can take a girl out of the Tropics but you can't take the Tropics out of the girl!<br />

This is a super easy and refreshing smoothie. Something different if you want to try new sweet flavors and add a bit of "zing to your swing" this season.<br />

The color is absolutely beautiful, reminds me of Caribbean's pink sand and the flavor delicious! It's also low in calories so you can still look amazing and in great shape for Christmas while enjoying a cool looking beverage!<br />

Make it even healthier by adding some wheat germ or flax seeds! See those little specks floating around? Wheat Germ! yumm!<br />

<br />
Before I close this short but sweet post I want to thank all the sweet comments and emails I've gotten from you my friends since around Thanksgiving and been unable to answer. Due to health problems I haven't been able to get to my computer or blog at all! I hope and pray things get better as the weeks go by and come back and have fun with all of you!. In the meantime, please hang in there with this your blog. I will try to pop a few times a week to say hi to all and drop a little recipe or two.<br />

Hola Amigos! This is the season for shorter days, long lines, big traffic jams, hustle and bustle, so why not take it easy in the kitchen and make a delicious easy dinner to feed our families with as little effort as possible. But don't get me wrong, not because it's easy means tasteless, au contraire mon cheri, lol! Since we are using just a few ingredients we are going to use good quality and get the best flavors out of this meal!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cRGonrHDyaE/Up5pHxB1KlI/AAAAAAAAJwk/Xtt4864wpf4/s1600/047a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe, treat your family to this delicious classic in 30 minutes! No need for breading, rolling or stuffing, yet you get to enjoy all the flavors of the original thing! #chicken #chickenrecipe #pasta #chickencordonbleu" border="0" height="492" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cRGonrHDyaE/Up5pHxB1KlI/AAAAAAAAJwk/Xtt4864wpf4/s640/047a.jpg" title="Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This is basically a deconstructed classic, chicken cordon bleu we all love but sometimes we don't have all the time in the world to prepare, roll the chicken breast, breading it, browning and baking.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Tvl0dBUo7z4/Up5pVW4NRrI/AAAAAAAAJws/tSdrzT7dr2A/s1600/049a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Tvl0dBUo7z4/Up5pVW4NRrI/AAAAAAAAJws/tSdrzT7dr2A/s640/049a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
All the ingredients are present on this dish, and if you are missing the carbs from the breading, you get the pasta to complement it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0n0ltldYMik/Up5psHvFt3I/AAAAAAAAJw0/QH8pxA6C4vQ/s1600/053a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0n0ltldYMik/Up5psHvFt3I/AAAAAAAAJw0/QH8pxA6C4vQ/s640/053a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
It's creamy and cheese, no room for dry chicken here! And of course, since everything tastes better with bacon, it has a bit of the good stuff to gives us some unexpected flavor and crunch.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NT2oQNZCV9Q/Up5rEgzlrII/AAAAAAAAJxM/HpMg7xPbgBQ/s1600/041a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NT2oQNZCV9Q/Up5rEgzlrII/AAAAAAAAJxM/HpMg7xPbgBQ/s640/041a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I hope you enjoy this dish, it gives you plenty of time to cook it, enjoy it and head out again to join the shopping crowds, hanging decorations or enjoy a nice relaxing evening by the fire. Remember my friends, everything tastes better with a <i><b>Pinch of Love</b></i>!<br />

Hola Amigos! When the weather turns cold I can't but to mentally transport myself to warmer places and one of the best way to do it is through food.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W3eyJ-leOEI/UnmxvtG32II/AAAAAAAAJfM/1LiKhg-c36c/s1600/036a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W3eyJ-leOEI/UnmxvtG32II/AAAAAAAAJfM/1LiKhg-c36c/s640/036a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<div>
I got a couple of beautiful Pork Steaks at the butcher the other day and in my opinion nothing goes better with pork than the taste of the tropics and it's fruits. Passion fruit, pineapple and oranges are some of the tropical fruits used one way or another to prepare this steaks.</div>
<div>
And if you are thinking it's too cold to light the grill. not to worry, these are baked!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div>
They are extremely moist and tender the way they are, but you know me, I need to have some gravy with my meats! My gravy has all the flavors of the steaks and the sweetness of the fruit.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The kids love the sweet taste of the steaks and just to make it even more kid friendly, this time we just had them with some Mac n Cheese! It was a hit alright!<br />

Hola Amigos: Today I'm mixing it a little bit and sharing with you a twist on side dish eaten by all throughout the holiday season, Cranberry Sauce. This year since I'm not hosting any of the holidays for family and friends, just my guys I get creative freedom when it comes to dishes and do things outside the can.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We only serve or eat cranberry sauce of juice when we have guests or we are sick, lol. This time of the year coincides with summer in my country so we instead of cranberry juice we have <a href="http://justdipitinchocolate.blogspot.com/2013/03/very-berry-hibiscus-cooler.html">Hibiscus Cooler</a> or "Saril" very popular drink around the holidays there. As refreshing and vibrant colored as Cranberry Juice Cocktail only a bit spicy since we add ginger to the infusion! Anyway, it is this Hibiscus Cooler concentrate infusion what I have used to prepare the base of this sauce.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It's not only good by itself, but goes great with ice cream, cake, pancakes anywhere where you use sauce you could use my plain Hibiscus Sauce.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0tCfFInVJ4k/UpKxj-59zgI/AAAAAAAAJu8/gq691PuNIfI/s1600/106a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0tCfFInVJ4k/UpKxj-59zgI/AAAAAAAAJu8/gq691PuNIfI/s640/106a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
To make it more festive and to resemble the whole cranberry sauce thing, I made a little cherry reduction with some sweet Moscato and mixed it all up!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s--4SMIX0CI/UpKTkLPsBkI/AAAAAAAAJuY/6XkBfAclHCQ/s1600/080a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s--4SMIX0CI/UpKTkLPsBkI/AAAAAAAAJuY/6XkBfAclHCQ/s640/080a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
The result made me skip dinner because I just got a bowl of my favorite ice cream and pour this still warm over it and at it all! Oh my guys! this stuff is addictive!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You can taste the sweetness and tartness of the hibiscus with notes of ginger and a bit of the Moscato on every cherry bite! yumm<br />

<br />
I made enough of the hibiscus sauce to use for future recipes and this particular combination makes about 1 1/2 cup of goodness to have with your turkey or ham.<br />
Thank you so much for visiting the blog today! I hope you enjoy this recipe a little bit our of the ordinary but delicious and easy to make. Remember my friends, everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love!<br />

Hola Amigos! I guess at this moment we are clearing the fridge to make room for our 18 pounder bird and pies and everything we can possible prepare ahead of time. But what to eat before Turkey Day arrives? well, just check among the "forgotten" items while making that needed space, put them all together and make a delicious stir fry.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_vReg610s_s/Uo_PHqCg5CI/AAAAAAAAJs8/EJpSuGPiaHE/s1600/029a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="490" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_vReg610s_s/Uo_PHqCg5CI/AAAAAAAAJs8/EJpSuGPiaHE/s640/029a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This dish came about because in one of my shopping trips I noticed this perfectly delicious 16 oz of stir fry mix for only $1.69!!! that is a bargain! Most of the time I stick to my rule of buying each veggie by itself because it's usually cheaper, but this one was a no-brainer, just the broccoli alone was $1.99 per head and I just needed a few tops and stems. Same with everything else.<br />

<br />
In my fridge I found 1 lonely chicken breast, left from a package of 5, a handful of shrimp and 2 thin cut boneless pork chops, I already had a supply of sauces and condiments from previous visits to take outs ( I know laugh, but they come in handy sometimes) and who doesn't have peanut butter in the pantry?<br />

<br />
After a 30 minutes you end up with a flavorful stir fry for almost nothing! You have used some of your leftovers without repeating a meal and creating something worth of the best take out place in town!<br />
The peanuts were an impulse buy at the dollar store, saw a bag of BBQ peanuts and bought 2 for $1 never knowing what I was going to use them for...perfect crunchy element for my stir fry!<br />

Do you check the "manager's special" at your local grocery store? How often do you buy or do you just pass them? I'm thinking of doing this more often if the value and quality are there and try to create something good for almost nothing.<br />

For this dish the only thing I bought was the stir fry mix for $1.69!!! Score!<br />

Hola Amigos: I'm guess I'm feeling daring with my oven lately! So far no fails and I hope I don't jinx it after this one.<br />
We had a lot of apples in this house this year, maybe because my little one likes to take one to school everyday, maybe because a nearby neighbor lets us go into her yard and pick as many as we want or maybe no matter where we go we get a box full of free apples! Who am I to complain about this! The more the merrier and free makes them taste even sweeter.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
But after a while...what am going to do with all of them? way too many in just one week, here comes girlfriend with her tried and tested Apple Cake recipe, and even though I panic every time I'm baking sweets I have to mix myself, she told me there was no way I could mess this one up.<br />

<br />
Wow was she right! It was good...too good I would say, because half of it got eaten by a pack of hungry teenagers before I could take a pic of the entire thing. You can picture right now my expression when I came to take the pics and half the cake was gone!!!!!! <-----insert the "Home Alone Plus" face here.<br />

<br />
Of course, as tradition mandates, well at least tradition in my house, if it's called cake, it needs Ice Cream, and caramel and, well I was out of chocolate this time, but you get the idea!<br />

Hola Amigos! For the next couple of weeks it's most likely we will be eating a lot of corn bread! All kinds of cornbread, some spicy, some sweet, some that are hard as a rock and best fed to the birdies in the yard, corn bead in stuffing, in muffins you name it! This is my super easy and savory recipe with a twist from all the other corn breads you will have these season.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
There is no flour measuring, no creaming of the corn or using the can stuff, just mix a few ingredients, most of them in your pantry at this moment, bake and enjoy.<br />

<br />
It has the things my guys love to no end, bacon and cheese! I added the things I love a bit of smokiness spicy and broccoli! I know it's different, but so good!...believe me when I say this was one veggie that wasn't picked out of the plate like it happens almost on regular basis here by my little one<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Give this Corn Bread a try and mix in the elements you love the most, if you are not a fan of broccoli, leave it out and substitute it with your favorite one or add corn! This is a very flexible recipe and that's what I love about it, gives you the foundation for you to do it your way and make it your own.<br />

Hola Amigos! We all know Thanksgiving is that time of the year when we officially give thanks for all the blessings we have received all year long. We're thankful for our health, we are thankful for our friends and family and for the happy joyous times we have shared all these months! But let's face it, it could be stressful too, all the cooking, the cleaning, the tidying up, people staying over messing with your stuff, the eternal house decor critic, your in laws not quite happy with your stuffing, the nosy aunt trying to teach you how to raise your kids...and too many to mention without getting palpitations right? So on Thanksgiving we are Thankful for some "High Octane Encouragemnte!!! lol<br />

Finally if you are like me and think there is no comfort food if it doesn't has gravy, this creamy but light sauce will give the final touch to your medallions.<br />

<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">Stuffed Chicken Medallions</span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients</span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>4 Boneless Chicken Breast (about 2 lbs)</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>1 (16 oz) Bag Spinach</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>1 (16 oz) Container Ricotta Cheese</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>1 ( 1 oz) Italian Salad Seasoning Mix</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>1 (2 oz) or 8 slices Pancetta</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>1 TBSP Butter</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>3/4 Cup Cream</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>Parmesan Cheese,</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>Salt and Pepper to taste.</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span></b></i> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>Heat oven at 350 degrees.</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>Using a sharp knife, open each of your boneless chicken breast until you get sort of a butterfly out of each one. Between 2 pieces of parchment paper, flatten then a little bit so it's easy for you to stuff them. Set aside.</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>In a large bowl combine your ricotta cheese, spinach and salad mix. </b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>Take a flattened chicken breast on to a flat surface,season with some salt and pepper and place 2 slices of pancetta on it, place some of the cheese and spinach mix, roll it a little bit and using some wooden toothpick pinch the sides together so the stuffing stays in place. Repeat the process with the rest of the chicken breasts.</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>Place in a bake safe pan and bake covered for about 30-40 minutes until the chicken is cooked. Remove the chicken from the baking pan and let it rest before cutting it in the shape of medallions. </b></i></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>To make the sauce, use the pan chicken drippings left on the baking dish. Place them in a small sauce pan with butter and cream, season with salt and pepper to taste.

Hola Amigos: These is the season for soups! When it's cold outside all you want is to feel warm all over and sometimes the only way to do that is with a good old fashioned soup.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-O_KZknAApvQ/Un1CdCCC5pI/AAAAAAAAJjQ/33ZAK_w-ZkI/s1600/015a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="450" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-O_KZknAApvQ/Un1CdCCC5pI/AAAAAAAAJjQ/33ZAK_w-ZkI/s640/015a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Today I'm sharing with you an easy recipe for a very tasty bean soup on the crock pot that hits just the spot.<br />
The richness of the beans with the spice of the chorizo makes it ideal for fall and winter! Even the color is inviting and "fall-like"<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I'm using for this recipe the new chorizos by Johnsonville. They are less spicy than your traditional mexican chorizo, very affordable ( I got mine with a 2 for $5.00 deal) and since they are milder in flavor, the soup is also kid friendly.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This soup is good by itself, it has big chunks of chorizo and beans, very satisfying. Top it of with sour cream, some green onions and of course some crispy Bacon. Also,if you are like me, no soup is complete without it's side of white rice! I know, It's tradition in my country to have soup with rice, I guess it's like having hamburger with fries here in the US.<br />

Hola Amigos! Glad to be here a the blog today sharing with you my first "from scratch" muffins!<br />
<div>
You know me, I'm still yet to conquer my fear of baking sweets from scratch, the flour, the baking powder, the not over mixing, it's all a big headache for me and I tend to avoid those at any cost! But once in a while, with deep breaths and fire extinguisher at hand, I get enough courage to try something simple and safe.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Perhaps one day I'll do something more daring, for now, these muffins are just what I need.<br />

I think I fell I little more comfortable because it was one of my mom's easy recipes, designs for her baking impaired daughter. If something was to go wrong on the first try, I could always call her and ask for help. I know you must be thinking how could I mess up muffins...believe me I Can!<br />

They have a little extra healthy crunch with the Flax, but that's about it..I even put some glaze over because to my hubs it is not a muffin if it doesn't have glaze...that sounds more like a cupcake to me..but I'm here to please.<br />

Hola Amigos! Happy Halloween to all! I hope this day is full of sweet candy, happy faces and smiles!<br />
It has been a year since I started my journey into blogging and it has been one of the most challenging but rewarding experiences in my life!<br />
I've met a lot of great people from all over the world. each one of them with their own stories told through their blog's posts in the case of my bloggy friends and through the emails and comments I received from my readers.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I have challenged myself trying to come up with new and creative ideas for you, sometimes I was successful and sometimes it was a total disaster, but that is life, we just pick up and we keep on going, right?<br />

<br />
I've also realized that after writing for a year I need a little bit of a break to regroup my thoughts, get my energy back and come up with new recipes and easy crafts worthy of all of you! I'm really not ready to tackle Christmas yet, lol!<br />

Hola Amigos! I'm sharing with you today, my family's October 30th tradition. It's started 6 years when we were trying to have dinner on Halloween night after my oldest was done with the candy collecting palooza around the neighborhood. Dinner kept getting interrupted by kids ringing the doorbell for more candy even when bowls were left on the porch for them to grab. They just wanted to keep going collecting with my son which was O.K but I like my food hot! lol ...So we decided to have our Halloween dinner the night before Halloween.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tlcoPn8TV2k/UnFUV5vgD_I/AAAAAAAAJaE/8ydhZDA9ras/s1600/017a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Pumpkin Shrimp and Scallop Curry Recipe, Savory Pumpkin curry is the perfect addition to your Fall #comfortfood line up.

<br />
We also carve our pumpkins,well just my husband and little one now since I'm busy with dinner, eat Skull Sugar cookies, Pan de Muerto we get at Mexican Town in the city and watch a scary kid friendly movie afterwards.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NUxa6NLyHoc/UnFVgCkMzzI/AAAAAAAAJaM/nu6-JmDttFE/s1600/014a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NUxa6NLyHoc/UnFVgCkMzzI/AAAAAAAAJaM/nu6-JmDttFE/s640/014a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The main dish always consists of some sort of seafood dish. To me anything seafood means abundance. I grew up with tons of it and we have it at home at least once or twice a week, so why not for Halloween to match the abundance of candy and fun!<br />

<br />
This year I've incorporated some pumpkin on this dish to please my husband who unlike me, loves pumpkin. I had to do some research since I'm not familiar with the use of pumpkin in dishes, found this recipe <a href="http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Pumpkin-Shrimp-Curry-368281">online here</a> and tweaked it my way, leaving a few things out and adding some in.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It's delicious and rich! Just the way I like my curry! and to me the most important thing...I can't taste the pumpkin! I know it's there but i can't taste it! that is a win win to me! Will make it again for sure!<br />
It's a bit spicy and with a beautiful orange color, making it perfect for those cold Fall nights!<br />

I usually do a hot mulled punch but it's suppose to be warm this year so I think this will be a lot better choice. Besides anything that has those little cinnamon Red Hot candies in it has to be delicious. </span></div>

Hola Amigos! This is my last Halloween recipe for the season! and how appropriate to end this season of spook with a sweet note to start our week! The first dessert recipe I posted when I started blogging was one for <a href="http://justdipitinchocolate.blogspot.com/2012/12/chocolatines-de-navidadchristmas.html">Christmas Brownies</a>, today to close my 1st year of blogging I'm posting another brownie one.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This particular brownies were supposed to be a dirt cake, but I changed my mind at the last minute and made something a little more practical for the kids and hubs to take to work, so they are little bonbon like brownies dusted in sugar, to give them that ghostly appearance! BOO!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Te5Rb8AOC5w/Um2-Y9--2II/AAAAAAAAJXM/NJfVEwdbBp4/s1600/001a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Te5Rb8AOC5w/Um2-Y9--2II/AAAAAAAAJXM/NJfVEwdbBp4/s640/001a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
You will get at least 2 dozen of these tasty ghost busters and they are soft gooey with a hint of saltiness inside! It's hard to have just one.<br />

<br />
This is a super easy recipe and in no time you would be enjoying your own. I like the fact that they are not your usual 'out of the box" brownies! An extra personal touch always makes food taste batter.<br />
