Almuerzo para dos~Breakfast for two and sharks with arms

I started cleaning the pantry and found some green peppers that had turned red. I didn't want them to go to waste (some were already moldy) so I washed them, sliced them and sauteed them in olive oil and to give them some flavor I added a few cloves of garlic. I wasn't sure what I was creating. Then I remembered the spinach hubby brought from the farm, so I threw some of that as well. Then I defrosted a few jalapeno peppers (do you know where I 'm going with this recipe?) I still have to idea. I heard my stomach growl, a reminder I had not had anything to eat. So I thought why not , I'm having breakfast for lunch! I added a few eggs and I had my creation. I enjoyed it with a lettuce and tomato salad.

It's healthy, colorful and yummy!

and while I was cooking, Beli was drawing in my one of my books. I began telling her that they were Mommy's books but I decided ok, just once, she could use them. And look what she drew! A baby shark, then Dad then Mom. Apparently sharks have hair and arms!

Yesterday Beli turned 31 months old, and since every 16th we celebrate the day she was born, we headed to the new shopping center. (more photos to follow) We didn't buy her any gifts, (not that she really minds) but we did discover a pet shop and she loved it.

First weeked in November: recipes and artwork

While Hubby has been away for the week picking olives at his Grandparents farm, Beli and I have been cooking, painting and hanging out with Grandma Nada.

My Mother-in-law gave me these gigantic apples and since I'm not a big fan of apples, I decided to turn them into a dessert. To see the recipe for the French Apple Crumble click here,  I made a few variations. ( I added a bit of rum flavoring and a dash of cinnamon and omitted the chocolate chips). It was really good, even without the ice cream!

 On Saturday I prepared scrambled eggs using spinach, bell peppers and potatoes. I could eat breakfast all day!  I should mention that sometimes I take for granted how many organic products I cook with. 

For example take this omelet, everything came from the farm (olive oil,eggs, potatoes, bell peppers, spinach and jalapenos).

In the afternoon we walked to the shopping center and purchased some supplies so Beli could paint with Grandma.

We stopped for some coffee and  dessert.

We also went to the beach and made an attempt at sand castles. 

Off she goes to make some new friends. Hope you are enjoying your first week of November!
