Breakfast Smoothies

Hi,

I don't like to eat breakfast but my Aunt Gayle bought me a mini blender so I can make smoothies in the morning before I go to school. They tell me breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So since it's so important, I decided I'd have a Cereal smoothie in the morning.

First you need your favorite frozen fruit, I like mangos.
Than some milk, whole grain cereal like cheerio's or mini wheats would do
Lots of Ice, I cheat and put a little sugar in mine. Put it in the blender and let it go. And than you have a breakfast smoothie. You can put what you want in it. I don't like to much in mine. It might be a little thicker than usual because of the cereal but the cereal gives you substance that's what my mom says.

New Year's Day Dinner

Happy New Year,

OK so we started the black eye peas last night we picked through them to get out any rocks and peas that didn't look good. We washed them very well. Put them in a pot with a smoked turkey wing, cut up some onions, put seasoning salt and filled the pot up with water and put it on the flame for about 3 hrs. Mom also decided she wanted a pot roast so she cleaned the meat seasoned it and cut up onions and put it in the crock pot and slowed cooked it. it was still cooking when I got up this morning smells really good in here. We still have to clean the chicken and we're going to double dip meaning we are going to take egg and milk and flour the chicken let it sit for a minute or two and than dip the chicken in the flour again. Were going to put some herbs in the canola oil and let the oil soak up the flavor and than try to take it out it's hard to get sage out but she'll try to do her best. And than we are going to drop the chicken like it's hot in the oil. Instead of cornbread we are going to make apple cinnamon muffins. My brother isn't really into this kind of food so we are going to make spinach and bow tie fetticini alfredo for him he love Italian food. Have a great New Year's Day.

Aztec Enchilada Recipe

Aztec enchiladas are easy to make and is rich in iron and protein.

Ingredients

2 tbsp skimmed milk
1-cup corn
¼ tsp chili powder
7 eggs
2 tbsp chicken broth
4 corn tortillas
1 sweet red bell pepper
2 parsley sprigs

In a bowl whisk milk and eggs to make it fluffy. In a skillet add corn and chicken stock and cook in a low flame for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the beaten eggs and sprinkle chili powder and salt to taste. Keep the flame low and stir occasionally, until the eggs are cooked.

On a square tray arrange the four tortillas. Place one-quarter of the fillings on each tortilla and roll it. Garnish with sliced pepper rings and parsley sprigs before serving.

Basic Methods of Making Enchiladas

The Aztecs used two methods for making enchiladas. However, enchiladas made in both the methods are tasty and would make an awesome brunch.

* In the first method, tortilla is dipped in a chili sauce that is pre-cooked. Then it is filled with stuffing of one’s choice and rolled.
* In the second method, tortilla is first dipped in an un-cooked sauce, then it is fried before filling and rolling.

Enchiladas are a popular Mexican dish eaten by many non-Mexicans around the globe. A few of the popular fillings for enchilada is Mexican beans and cheese, loved by many vegetarians around the globe, chicken and herb enchilada casserole, shrimp and crab enchiladas in chipotle cream sauce and so on.

You could use pre-cooked and canned chicken if you do not have the fresh ones. Roasted, fresh or frozen chilies could be used instead of canned chilies. Remember, enchilada is one of the Mexican dishes recognized internationally.

The History of Enchiladas

Many people describe Mexican cuisine as spicy, colorful, which has strong and mixed flavor. Mexican cuisine is rich in vitamins, proteins and minerals. One of the most popular Mexican snacks is enchilada. Enchilada was a popular food of the Aztecs and was known back in 19th century. The ethnic groups of central Mexico who spoke the Nahuatl language were known as Aztec.

Originally, an enchilada is made from a tortilla dipped in chili sauce and stuffed with cheese and beans or chicken and beef, sometimes with spinach. Today, there are different versions of enchiladas served in the Mexican restaurants around the world.

In the year 1949, an American magazine, American Food and Drink, described a enchilada as "a Mexican dish prepared more for turista than for local consumption".

The enchiladas you eat from a street vendor in Mexico are quite different from the ones you must have eaten in a Mexican restaurant outside Mexico. The enchiladas you get outside Mexico are tortillas stuffed with fillings of your choice swimming in red sauce and molten cheese. These enchiladas are limp and are not crunchy.

Enchiladas Suizas was first introduced in a restaurant called Sanborn’s in Mexico City. "Suizas" means Swiss. This is so called because the dish uses a lot of cheese and cream. It is a tribute to the Swiss cuisine.
