Things we eat these days.

We pretty much eat everything, I love cooking a nice meal for my family. We love sitting down at the island or at the table if we have guest so we can chat about our day.
When I grew up we had different times for dinner and not everyone was together at the table. I remember eating dinner just standing in the kitchen my mom would remind me to please sit down and eat.
So recently the hubby who is a great cook and also my mentor, made us Tuscan Tortellini soup oh my I shared this on the facebook and inspired others to make the same this is a hearty soup you want to eat on a cold night. It has Italian Sausage in it and also Kale but you can put any greens you like and let me tell you the kids really loved this soup and yes the kale too.
So scroll for all the instagram pictures of food I took recently.

Mediterranean Goodness

My kids love meatballs, and I try to make them every time different so I don't get bored. This time I used Ground Turkey and I used an egg and chopped thyme, oregano and chives and of course you add salt and pepper, I used other spices that I have on hand too.

The Mediterranean  crunch is store bought from Whole Foods, and since it was a hit the first time I made them Paleo Eggplant fries they are super healthy cause they are baked.

Ingredients:

Eggplant, a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper

(I just used one big and small  eggplant and it was enough for us 4)

 Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.

 Cut the eggplants into medallions, then stack them  and cut into French fry-like strips.

Place eggplant strips onto a cookie sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season lightly with a bit of salt and pepper.

 Pop them in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the majority of them are browned and crispy.

I added bit more of salt and pepper.

Enjoy....

Chicken Fried Rice Caribbean Style.

I remember my mom's fried rice,  two words super delish. She made it often and whenever we had a get together the fried rice was the main attraction. I have to admit I crave this dish often, I have tweaked her recipe and made it my own. 

I had 5 chicken legs leftover from a Barbecue we had a day before so they came in handy.

Recipe 

Yields: 6 portions

2 slices of bacon ( you can use diced pancetta instead)

1 red pepper

1 onion

4 scallions

1 and half cup of diced chicken

1 cup of corn kernels

3 cups cooked white rice

Pepper, Salt , Ketjap Manis and Badia all seasoning to taste.

I sauteed the bacon after it got a little bit crispy I added the diced red pepper, onion and scallions and the corn kernels. After 4 minutes I added the chicken and then the rice. Stir a bit and then add dash of salt and pepper, the Badia seasoning and the Ketjap Manis (sweet ketjap) to taste. Serve this in a bowl with a fried egg and some cilantro on top and a side of plantains.
