A little history on Banana bread:

According to my research and easybananabreadrecipes.com/history-banana-bread it is stating the first banana bread recipe came from America at the end of the 18th century. Historians say, “banana bread came from the great depression around 1930’s. The first banana bread was published in 1933 in “Balanced Cookbook” By Mary Ellis Ames, Director of the Pillsbury Cooking Service. Not many ingredients were used before due to the great depression and there were a lot of families who had very low income.

Now, lets get to cooking:

  • 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/4 Cup Cane Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Canola Oil

Budín My Way

*Easy to make* Kids love it*

*Prep: 5 min* Cook: 1hr 20 min

The day I met my husband and mother-in-law a lot of ways in my life changed. They had little and were so happy, in my family we had a lot maybe even more than we needed and we were sad. I would walk with a smile, deep down I was heartbroken, hurt, and sad.

I would always observe, every time someone would visit my mother-in-laws house, she would always greet them with a coffee and what she had available. I thought that was such a great gesture. They would laugh, drink coffee, eat toast, and talk about life. To me that is something I wanted in my future, it felt so genuine and inviting.

From then on when ever someone would come over my house, I would offer them coffee, drink, anything I had available at home to drink and have them feel welcomed.

It was true, that did make a change all my visitors would always leave and say my house feels so cozy and comforting as if my home was a B&B. I haven’t changed and my future shows a lot of more things to come for my family, friends, and myself.

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Milk
  • 1 Can Coconut Milk
  • 1/2 Cup Raisins
  • 1/4 Sugar
  • 2 Eggs

  3. Add all your ingredients and combine well
  4. Bake for 1 hr and 20min
  5. Insert a toothpick if it comes out clean it is ready
  6. Drizzle with caramel and let rest until cool

When have you met someone who does not enjoy a great breakfast burrito? If you have please let me know. Specially, a breakfast burrito with two ingredients!?

So, the breakfast burrito which started catching on around 1975, found its way into mainstream fast food restaurants like McDonald’s, Sonic, and Hardee’s by the 1990s. The burrito originated from Mexico State. They say a guy name Juan would go out and sell on his donkey. (spanish translation burro)

La Tia Luz y Su Chile Con Queso

Serves 4

This recipe is easy and delicious. I love this Chile con queso I use as a side. This recipe came from one of my aunts! She would make this and every time I make it, it takes me back to a nice homey memory.

I also pair this dish with homemade flour tortillas. You can use anything you have at home, make it as easy and delicious as you like.

Try it and let me know what you guys think!

Enjoy

Here are the ingredients:

Chile con queso

  • 2 Tbs Oil
  • 2 Jalapeños diced
  • 1 Tomato diced
  • 1/2 Onion diced
  • 1 Cup Milk
  • 1 1/2 Cups of Cheese or to your liking. I use Mozzarella Cheese.

Directions:

  1. Add your oil. Set stove on medium heat.
  2. Add diced jalapeños, onions, and tomato. Let cook for about 3 minutes be sure to keep an eye on it, you don’t want it to burn.
  3. You will be adding your milk now. Add to your liking, if you don’t like it saucy don’t add all the milk.
  4. Add your salt to taste.(Remember depending on the cheese you are using, cheese does contain salt)
  5. Let it simmer on low heat for 5 minutes stirring occasionally. (It tends to foam up a little so, keep an eye on it)
  6. Lastly, add your cheese. (If you like it cheesy add more cheese or less it is up to your liking)
