In the Hispanic community, meals are a time to gather together, talk to each other, and just spend time together. I remember lunches at my grandparent's house in Mexico. We would travel their every summer. To this day those are some of my happiest memories. Preparation for lunch started right after breakfast, and usually took the whole morning. There were several courses. One of my favorites was my grandmother's carrot soup. I still need to get the recipe from her.
My grandparent's had several lime trees so we always had pitchers full of limeade to drink during our meals. They also had avocado trees, so fresh guacamole was always available. No wonder I'm such an avocado lover. Mangoes were plentiful, and were usually dessert for all of us.
One of my favorite foods is called flautas. They are corn tortillas filled with shredded chicken. They are rolled up tight, then fried or baked. You can cover them in green or red sauce. I just dipped them in guacamole. You can also fill them with beef or ground beef.

My family's favorite dish and mine is a meatball taco ring! Consisting meatballs flavored with taco seasoning ,wrapped and cooked in a crescent roll. Then served on a tray in a ring (once I made it in shape of a horseshoe) In the middle I put shredded lettuce, tomato's and onions topped with sour cream Yum! I have never heard of flautas but they sound very tasty! Have a great day and now I am off to find something to eat all this food talk is making me hungry! LOL

ReplyDeleteMy families favourite dish is Dutchmen's Pudding. Its a dessert that is very rich and you have it with creme. It's sort of like a sponge pudding that is light and fluffy. Just before it's cooked you make a sauce of butter, sugar and vanilla. When you pull the pudding out of the other, you pour the sauce over top and it soaks in. Yum :)
thanks for this.

I have yet to read this book, but it sounds great! My favorite family dish is a hard question to answer. My mom is a wonderful cook and I like to that some of the rubbed off on me! But if I would have to pic one....it would have to be her vegetable soup. I swear no matter how many times I watch her make it and get the recipe, it never tastes the same as when she makes it. Now I'm hungry!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway and Happy Birthday to Evernight Teen.

My favorite family dish growing up was my mom's lasagna! I think the family dish now with my hubby and my teen is probably chili just because it's a food we can all agree on! LOL

I'm of French/Italian descent. I love my pasta and desserts. My memere's crepes were always a favorite, and my grammy's spaghetti sauce. They've both passed on, but I make both recipes for my kids now.
