Eat Play Stay Spain - A Story of Tapas Part 5 - Pimientos de Padrón...
Pimientos de Padrón or Padrón peppers are named after the municipality of Padrón where they are grown. Padrón is in in the province of A Coruña, in Galicia, northwestern Spain and these small green peppers are mild in taste but a small amount will be quite spicy which is what makes these peppers so unusual. It is said to be down to not only how much water and sunlight they receive but strangely how they are watered. It is believed that if just the roots are watered then mild pimientos will grow but if the whole plant is watered then they will end up being spicy. However there is no actual knowing as to whether what you are about to taste will be spicy or mild, it is literally a Russian roulette of tasting...

Black Bean & Shiitake Quesadillas With Easy Guacamole
Quesadillas were one of my favorite childhood meals. Even now when I eat one, it brings me back to summers spent at my grandmother’s house, where my little sister and I would beg for the little cheesy triangles for lunch nearly every day. Of course, back then they consisted simply of a plain cheese quesadilla microwaved until melty and consumed with the scent of chlorine in our hair by the pool, but they still hold a special place in my heart. These days, I’m typically not wearing a bathing suit when I eat quesadillas, and they usually have a few more nutritious fillings inside. My favorite way to eat them lately is stuffed with black beans, shiitake mushrooms, and spinach, and served with creamy guacamole and tangy sour cream for dipping. They make a perfect Meatless Monday dinner because the meaty-textured Shiitake mushrooms are a great vegetarian substitute, and the black beans are packed with protein. Spinach elevates the meal by giving a pop of freshness and vibrance amid all that gooey cheese.

Eat Play Stay Spain — A Story of Tapas Part 4 — Tortilla de Patatas...
There is nothing simpler that can taste so good as a Tortilla de Patatas. Whether it is served cold or warm straight from the pan, it is delicious, filling, and is traditional España through and through. This inexpensive tapa is often served in bars across Spain as a complimentary eat with your drink and is present on every discerning Tapas menu to order and purchase. It is distinctly Spanish and so delicious that no self respecting Tapas restaurant could be without it...

Eat Play Stay Spain — A Story of Tapas Part 3 — Ajo/Garlic... A Culinary Essential in Any Spanish Kitchen...
Garlic, or Ajo in Spanish, is a must-have in many kitchens commercially and domestically across the world and in the culinary world of Spanish food there is no escaping it. Once known as the poor man's spice and even banished by Kings of Spain from bygone eras, it is now one of Spain's exports with almost 50% of their crops being exported out of the country, evidence enough that the country grows some of the very best garlic in the world. From the field to the cupboard to the table, garlic is a not only a universal product, but a real essential in Spanish cooking...

Instant Pot Vegan Vermicelli Noodle Soup
Since the flu and colds seem to be going around my office I have had delicious soup on my mind for a long time. To me lately, soup is a very healing meal. The steamy broth and delicious ingredients in a soup almost seem to have a healing power of their own. I instantly feel better when I eat bowl of soup, especially in the cold weather of the winter season.

Under Ten Meal Series: Chicken and Dumplings
For today’s dinner I chose to make a comfort food favorite because my husband was feeling a bit blue. Chicken and dumplings was today’s menu item that I decided to tackle. I personally love this meal because it is so filling and hearty. However, I had never made this meal before and was a little unsure of how it was done. So I called up my mom and had her impart motherly wisdom upon my cooking venture. She always loves when I call her for recipes or cooking tips because I have never been the girliest girl on the block, so we haven’t bonded over cooking much and mom loves a chance to spend time with me even if I am an hour away from her. Not saying that cooking makes you girly, only saying that there is a special bond between mother and daughter that is formed over sharing recipes from family that has now passed on. Mom suggested that I use a dutch oven for this meal as it cooks the dumplings nicely. However, if you don’t own one of those you could use any old pot thats fairly deep and that you have a properly fitting lid for. As always, my shopping was done at Walmart if you would like to price compare to keep your meal cost as low as I have shown below.

French Toast Casserole Recipe
Breakfast is arguably best meal of the day. Plus scientists have claimed it is the most important meal of the day. Sure. What I do know is that it is the only meal I can eat foods that should be classified as desserts as my main course and no one will judge me (pancakes, crepes and French toast, anyone?). You can’t eat a piece of cake for dinner in public and not have someone ask you if you had a rough day. So I have made it a mission to find great breakfasts and never settle for a piece of toast and orange juice again - nothing against those of you who enjoy that.

Under Ten Meal Series
I, like many other Americans, work my 40 hours a week. The daily grind, or nightly grind in my case. I work overnights. I often find myself with too many bills and not as much money as I would like. I used to eat a lot of junk. My husband and I were going out to eat about four times a week or more. Not only was it bad for my body, it was also bad for my wallet. Recently I have been cooking at home most every evening before I head in to work and I have found that a lot of meals that I enjoy can be made for around 10$ and feed four-ish people depending on the people's appetites. My recipes are usually consumed by myself and several grown men with big appetites so you can generally assume these recipes will feed four very hungry people. So for my first post I will be covering Cheap Chicken Pot Pie. I remember my mother making something similar to this recipe whenever one of us kids were feeling down in the dumps. This meal at its core is comfort food. It's hearty and filling and fun to eat. This recipe will make a great addition to your meal arsenal. Sure to be a crowd-pleaser. I usually shop at Walmart because I live in a small town and there are not many options for grocery stores.
