Turkey Time!
I love Thanksgiving! There is so much food and festivities, and food and family time, and food and food! (Did I mention the food?)
And since Turkey is the go-to bird during this season, I thought I would share on of my favorite recipes. This recipe, by Martha Stewart, is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend it!
Definitely visit Martha Stewart’s website for wonderful and delicious recipes for this Thanksgiving!!
Food and family has a way of warming the heart, and so I am celebrating this year by having dinner with my family and baking a pie for them.
What are you thankful for this year?

Food fills the Soul
I have often believed that food can fill many voids in ones life.
I know that whenever I am feeling sad, I turn to food, a comfort of mine, to help me. While I understand that food is not something to gorge oneself upon to help eliminate or avoid problems, I do feel that a nice warm cup of tea, a sweet cookie, or a family favorite meal can help cure some of the heartache or ailment.
Food is a wonderful remedy. It is a life giving and can make someone feel full and content. This is why it is so important. Food replenishes not only the stomach, but the soul.

Family & Food
My family likes to eat, and food is so important to us.
We sat at the dinner table tonight and had a wonderful meal provided by my mom- Italian food! But it wasn’t just the idea that I had a delicious, warm meal in front of me that made this night as great as it was. It was the fact that my family and I were sharing time together.
Now, I don’t always eat dinner with my family at the table. Often we eat at different times or in front of the TV (mainly watching Criminal Minds or some other drama television show). Still, tonight was incredibly fulfilling.

Eating out – A food review –
I like going out to eat…a lot! (Like, a lot a lot).
SO, this evening I decided to go out to dinner at The Porch! Now, if you live in the Sacramento, I would highly recommend going out to this place. While it was a little on the pricey side, it was absolutely delicious!!
I had their spinach salad with pears, pomegranates, and overall yumminess! AND for desert, I had a chocolate pumpkin cookie baked in a skillet with ice cream. SOOO amazingly good!
Seriously, if you would love to go out to eat! GO HERE!
You will not be disappointed 🙂
Under the Weather

So here are a few links to some amazing soup recipes if you are feeling under the weather yourself:

Strawberry Fields Forever
I love strawberries, 100% completely love them.
So this week I thought I would share with you my favorite drink made from…well, you know… STRAWBERRIES!
Agua de fresa (translated to strawberry water) is a drink made from strawberries, water, and sugar. This drink, which can be made with a variety of fruits, is a delicious and refreshing thirst quencher.
Here is the recipe for your enjoyment:
First, boil water and sugar together (in a ratio of 1 to 1) to create a simple syrup.
While the sugar is dissolving, wash and slice up strawberries (about 2 to 3 cups).
Take the simple syrup off the stove to cool, place sliced strawberries in your blender (tasting a few while you are at it).
Pouring the simple syrup over the strawberries, blend together to create your drink.
Add more sugar, water, or strawberries depending to taste.
Depending on if you like pulp or not, strain your strawberry mixture through a mesh sleeve.
Pour over ice and drink up!
This drink is perfect for a warm day (and I would dare to say that it is even splendid for a rainy day as well).
I HIGHLY recommend making some for yourself, you will not be disappointed!

Everything Nice
Whenever I want a taste of home I make arroz con leche.
As a Latina, food and family have been two very prominent aspects of my life. This sweet breakfast (lunch and dinner) desert is something that my mother has made for me whenever and I was upset or just feeling down. It is the taste of all things warm and homey, and with just the right amount of sweetness and spice.
For those of you who have never heard of arroz con leche, let me just tell you about how amazing it is!
In translation, arroz con leche means rice and milk, and is very similar in texture and concept to oatmeal. Cinnamon, among other flavors, add a nice kick to this desert (or meal or late night snack or second breakfast– however you would like to eat this).
The basics ingredients are just 4 simple things (5 technically): rice, milk, sugar, and cinnamon (and water).
Since I tend to eye-ball this recipe, I don’t know the exact measurements of the ingredients; however, I will let you know the instructions to follow.
- First, boil rice (as much as you like) in a pot of water, making sure that the rice is always covered.
- Once the rice is soft (no hard centers–unless you like it that way), drain some of the water out, turn the heat on low and pour in some milk. Allow this to simmer for awhile until the rice begins to look more like a porridge. If you do not like this consistency, feel free to turn off the heat earlier on.
- Add in sugar and cinnamon to taste.
- Other ingredients you can add: pumpkin spice, maple syrup, nutmeg, raisins, fruit, vanilla extract, almond extract….the choices are unlimited!
Overall, arroz con leche is the perfect pick-me-up!
There are tons of recipes all over the web, so take a look and find something that suits your taste buds!
After all, it’s always important to
Go forth and produce something sweet!
