In this part of Indonesia, one of my favorites is the simplest appetizer- greens ( cucumber, basil, cabbage, long beans) with sambal (chilli and tomatoes goodness). We call it lalapan.

Recipe - Cheerios Treats




Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup honey or brown rice syrup
1/2 cup peanut butter
5 cups Dulce de Leche cheerioes
1/3 cup white chocolate chips
1 1/2 tablespoons Yoplait French Vanilla Yogurt


 






Directions
1In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the honey and peanut butter. Stir until well mixed. Toss in the cheerioes and mix until coated.
2Press the Cheerio mixture into a muffin tin sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Press each cup of Cheerioes down firmly, so they are well-packed together, then allow them to cool completely, about 15 minutes. (You can place them in the fridge to speed up this process, if needed!)
3Remove the cereal cups from the muffin tin once cool. Place on a piece of parchment or plastic wrap.
4In a small, microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and yogurt JUST until melted. Stir together until smooth. Spoon mixture into a Ziploc bag. Snip a small corner off of the bag and drizzle the white chocolate-yogurt mixture over each cereal cup.
5Store cereal cups in cupcake wrappers, if desired. Serve for breakfast, afterschool snacks, and fun midnight treats!

Ironic isn’t it? Millions of people in the world are starving while millions of others are overindulging in too much of the wrong foods.

Sizzler! Butcher creates ‘hottest sausage in the world’ with chillis used in grenades!

“A butcher claims to have created the world’s hottest sausage - using ingredients normally used to flush-out terrorists and scare elephants.

“The ‘pork inferno sausages’ are so hot customers are warned to only eat one per sitting in case they end up in hospital…”

How much food do YOU waste a year?

UK families waste £270 a year on discarded food

“Most families massively underestimate the amount of food they throw away each week, according to new research.

“Despite the economic downturn they admit to buying more than they need, often tempted by supermarkets’ “Buy One Get One Free” and similar offers…”

Guacamole Recipe


Here is a really popular guacomole recipe that I make.  Before I had tried this recipe, I didn’t like guacamole.  You must follow it exactly…do not substitute ingredients!

Guacamole:

3 ripe avocados

3 fresh limes

1 bunch cilantro

sea salt

1 jalepeno - finely minced

1/4-1/3 red onion - finely minced

Squeeze the juice of the three limes into a large bowl.  Peel and cut avocados and immediately place them in the bowl (make sure all sides are covered with lime juice to prevent browning). Once all the avocado is in the bowl mash it to the consistency in the above picture.  DO NOT USE A BLENDER - good quality guacomole has a chunky texture.  Add jalepeno and onions but taste frequently as you add these ingredients; the amount you need depends on your liking.  Add sea salt to taste (usually 2 pinches).  Chop the cilantro and mix it in.  Cover immediately and refrigerate before serving.

That’s it!  Serve with Que Paso tortilla chips.  As I have stated in previous posts, this brand is preferable because it’s mostly organic and low in salt.  This is healthier, but also tastes better! (Nothing ruins the taste of guacamole more, than typical highly salted tortilla chips).  If you find another tortilla chip brand that is low in salt and is organic/non-GMO, feel free to use that as well.

D.C. CROP Hunger Walk represents a time for people of all faiths to act

“… Globally, 925 million people are hungry. Simply put, roughly 1 in 7 people worldwide will go to bed hungry tonight, and half of them are children. Malnutrition leads to nearly one-third of all childhood deaths before the age of 5. Hunger kills more people annually than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined…”
