Whole Wheat Bagel with Peanut Butter and Bananas

A neighbor of mine gave me a jar of natural peanut butter, which I can only recall eating once while growing up.  My dad was a big fan of natural peanut butter, but when you are a kid, you want all the sugar and salt you can get!  So back then, I wasn't having it!! lol

I decided to give it a try, and I actually like it now.  Once you stir the oils and peanut butter together, and store it in the fridge, it has a nice creamy consistency.

In this pick, I toasted the bagel and topped it with the peanut butter (as you can see, it was literally dripping off the sides of the bagel), and then added the bananas.

I have never tried this combo, but I was pleasantly surprised!! I REALLY loved it! I would say this is a must try, IF you love peanut butter and bananas. :-)

Holiday Breakfast - By Afiya

Hi Everyone!! I hope everybody has had a wonderful start to the New Year!! I'm excited about what this year of blogging will bring!!  So here is my first post of 2015!!! :-)

My niece Afiya is an AWESOME cook!!! She was kind enough to share this beautiful pic of the breakfast she prepared for her family, while home on a break from school!!

Not only is she an awesome cook, but she's really good with plating as well. What a beautiful, delicious looking breakfast!!! :-)

Veggie Tempura - Yo Sushi

Here is the other part of her lunch!!! I LOOOOOOOVE veggie tempura!!  In fact, I wish I was eating some right now!! haha

She's a good daughter, so she actually saved some for me to taste.  I'm usually eating something like that right away, so I wasn't sure how to warm it up without ruining it!

I popped it in the oven for about 10 minutes on low heat, and it worked perfectly!! 

Chicken Saltimbocca - Hilton Cafe

This was my daughter's dinner. I can't recall ever eating Chicken Saltimbocca, but I wasn't sure what I was looking at!  I thought the chicken was under-cooked, because I saw pink!! Turns out the pink is the thin layer of Prosciutto on top of the chicken!! haha

It was served over pasta with veggies on the side.  She let me taste it, and I thought it was very good.  Actually, all the dishes we had at the Hilton were very good!! :-))

Garlic & Cilantro Sauce - La Sen - by Michael

Just look at the awesome color in the sauce that Michael recreated!!! La Sen Restaurant serves this sauce, and Michael took on the challenge of recreating it!

From the looks of it, he did an awesome job.  According to Leomar, it was delicious too!!

Yummy!!!
