I love this quote. This quote can be applied to many aspects of life but today I'm applying it in my kitchen :)
I love spicy food. I enjoy the variation of taste that spices bring out in foods. Nothing screams my name out more than a fully colored, spicy dish :)
Mexicans love to use the basic, jalapeños and cilantro. For color we use tomatoes and onions. In.every.thing! That's standard so when in doubt, you should always revert to that. And I always do.
Today the girls are feeling a little under the weather - mild cold with severe grumpiness The forecast is that of rain and chilly winds so this mama is making them a traditional Mexican soup. Lentil Bean Soup - my favorite and to everyone's surprise, theirs too!
These beans alone are tasteless so all I do is throw in the Mexican basics. Yep, jalapeños and all. Add a little salt and a dash of this, another Mexican favorite when making soups...
And you're done.
Every Mexican has this in their pantry, I can assure you that :)
My soup is ready in no time and all I have to do now is wait for lunch to roll around.
¡Buen provecho
(spanish for bon appétit)
What is your favorite spice?
That looks yummy :) And this "non-mexican" even has that spice in her pantry...will have to try it when they let me out of hospital jail.
