What's cooking? Papas Duquesas.

Papas Duquesas  or Fried Potato Puff balls one word Addictive. I made these for my daughter's school projects. She chose Chile and had to bring a dish to share with the other students.

Very easy to make , but next time I am going it to season it my way and I already have a dipping sauce idea I want to create that will compliment this yummy snack. Mine came out a bit coarser than the recipe on Pinterest but I like it that way:)

I found this recipe on Pinterest, read it here

Quick and Healthy: Pumpkin seeds with a kick.

I recently bought pumpkin seeds my daughter really likes and I love it when she snacks on something healthy. But for me I was missing something they seem plain and boring to me.
I spiced it up with spices I had on hand like cumin, Cajun spices, and other stuff I had in my pantry you even add pepper flakes. I coated them with a little bit of grape-seed oil mix them really good and toasted them in a pan. Now I have a yummy healthy snack that punches a spicy kick. Tonight I will paired with my favorite wine and enjoy the weather from my porch.

Need a snack???

Sometimes I get tired like everybody else, especially during this time I am trying to figure out what to get teachers and staff etc etc. So before I started cooking today I was craving something salty and something sweet.
These are things I bought at Costco the other day .I cut some cheese, a hand full of crackers,  grapes and some almonds.

• Roquefort Papillon Cheese
• Goat Cheese with Cranberry and Cinnamon
• Diva Delights Cranberry crisps (the best crackers ever)
