Meatless Sloppy Joes

“Eat the plants, not the meat”

Vegan | Great Leftovers | Kid-Friendly |

Are you looking for and easy recipe that has no meat and is easy to clean up afterwards? I have been looking around here and there trying to find an easy recipe that would be worthy enough for my picky family to want to try.

I came across a recipe online and it gave me a great idea. I have always loved to eat lentils growing up, it was one of my favorite grains to eat, I would always ask to eat them as well as potatoes. This brought me to an idea of using lentils to my everyday meals or at least figuring out what else I can create and bring to my dinner table that all will like and enjoy.

This recipe is a mixture of lentils and a great all time favorite recipe combined together that they will all love.

Let’s dive right into the ingredients and recipe.

You will need:

  • 2 Tbsp. Oil
  • 1 Cup Lentils
  • 1 Onion diced
  • 3 Garlic minced
  • 1 Bell pepper diced
  • 1 Tsp. A1 Sauce
  • 1 Cup Broth
  • 1 Cup Tomato sauce
  • 1/2 Cup Ketchup
  • 3 Tbsp. Tomato paste
  • 2 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tsp Chile Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Mustard
  • 1 Tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
  • I Cup Water
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Lets bring it all together

  1. In a warm skillet add oil, peppers, and onions. Cook for 5-8 minutes until veggies are tender. In go the water, lentils, broth, and garlic.
  2. Bring to a simmer and cover for 25-30 min. Keep an eye on them making sure water does not reduce all the way. Add more water if needed until lentils have reached a tender feel (not mushy)
  3. After lentils are ready and tender, go ahead and mix in tomato sauce, paste, and combine well. Mix in brown sugar, chili, mustard, cider, and water. simmer for 10-15 min on a med/low heat. Lastly, taste for salt and pepper.

Enjoy with your favorite toppings as well as your favorite vegan hamburger bread or a a rice patty, the options are endless.

Holiday Turkey

Prep Time: 15 Minutes | Cook Time: 3-4 Hours

Happy Holidays

I have for you a recipe I use every year for the holidays or any day really. If you eat turkey all year long this is a great recipe to use. So, even if it is your first time or not join me in making this delicious turkey that will have everyone wanting left overs and maybe even taking some home with them leaving you with less clean up.

Here in our home we eat turkey once a year on Thanksgiving Day. It is our tradition to cook a delicious feast which includes of a delicious turkey, rice with pigeon peas, Ensalada De Papa | Potato Salad, Ensalada De Coditos | Macaroni Salad, and much more. Every year we may change our sides, one of them is not our turkey that is a fact, every year it is my duty to make sure our turkey is well seasoned with lots of flavor and love.

So, how about we set up in the kitchen and gather our ingredients and start the process so you can see what I mean when I say, “this is a delicious turkey and everyone will keep asking for more”.

Let’s get right in and start to marinate our turkey and getting it ready for the warm oven.

Let’s gather our ingredients.

  • 21 LB. Turkey
  • 1/2 Stick Butter
  • 2 Packets Sazon
  • 1 TBSP Adobo
  • 1 TBSP Oregano
  • 1/2 TSP Cumin
  • 8 Garlic
  • 4 TBSP Olive Oil
  • 1 TBSP Salt
  • 1 TBSP Pepper
  • 2 TBSP Vinagar
  • 1 Bunch Cilantro
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper Onion
  • 1 Bunch Culantro
  • 1 Onion

Let’s Start To Marinate:

  1. Place garlic, oil, and vinegar in molcajete/mortal (If you do not have a mortal/molcajete you can use blender/ food process) smash garlic
  2. Take adobo, sazon, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper, add to garlic mixture
  3. Spread mixture all over the turkey
  4. Cut up butter into squares
  5. Lift skin up, tuck butter between turkey breast and skin
  6. Quarter bell peppers, onion, tear cilantro, culantro, and smash garlics
  7. Insert cut up veggies into the turkeys body cavity
  8. Mark X’s with knife, all around turkey and insert garlics

You are all done and ready to marinate your turkey over night which is what I do.

Let’s Cook:

After you marinate your turkey over night you can now set your oven to pre-heat to a 350’F/177’C which is set at a moderate heat.

I cook 3-4 hours or until it reaches a temperature of 165’F/74’C all around turkey.

  • 21 lb. Turkey
  • Clean w/ salt & water
  • Garlic, Oil, & Vinegar
  • Oregano, Cumin, Salt, Pepper, Adobo, & Sazon

Spam Hash

Serves 4

Kid’s will love | Easy to make | Make ahead | Freezer Friendly

It doesn’t get any easier than this

I am so excited, you are back here for more easy and delicious recipes from mi casita to your casita!

Today we will be reading a little about our famous hash dish. From all the research I have done I have come to learn there are many ways we have been taught to make this quick and easy dish. Every country has different recipes and so do our states here in America.

A little research on todays dish:

Hash is a dish which has chopped meat, potatoes, and onions. According to my research from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_(food)#:~:text=Hash%20is%20a%20culinary%20dish,house%22%20or%20%22hashery.%22 It states Hash originated as a way to use leftovers. In the 1860’s cheap restaurants were called, “Hash Houses” or “Hashery”. During the Second World War hash had started to get popular in different countries such as Britain, France, and the U.S.A. due to having to ration food, specially fresh meat.

If you look online there are so many different recipes to make hash, It is so great and easy!

Now, why don’t we jump right in.

Here are my ingredients:

  • 1 LG Potato
  • 1 Tomato diced
  • 1/2 Poblano Pepper diced
  • 1/2 Onion diced
  • 1 TBS Oil
  • 1 7oz. Can Spam or 1/2 of 12oz. can
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Lets get to cooking:

  1. Dice and prep all your ingredients
  2. Heat your pan and add your oil
  3. Add your diced potatoes, cook until nice and tender
  4. When your potatoes are tender add salt & pepper to your taste. Quick note: Spam has salt, taste before you add your salt.
  5. Add your diced spam
  6. Add your diced tomato, poblano peppers, and onions. Cook until your veggies are nice and tender
  7. If you are making a breakfast hash add your scrabbled eggs now

Here you have it a quick and easy hash made with delicious tender veggies and a simple can which is spam. I always say, ” work with what you have”.

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.
