I have a Mexican background and my favorite was Albondigas. Meatball soup. Here is the recipe
Ingredients:
ground turkey
white rice
1 cup water
chicken broth
cilantro
1 onion
1 egg
Your favorite spice. We use Adobo
salt to taste
Method
Use 1 can of chicken broth and 1 cup of water pour into pot and bring to a boil. Chop the onion and put in boiling soup.
wash rice. Mix it in with ground turkey and egg. Mush together and add spices plus salt. We use adobo but you can use any spice that you have as long as it seasons meat or poultry. make small meatballs around 1 inch each. How many depends on how much you want. Once the water is boiling add meatballs one by one. Make sure the water is hot or they will fall apart. Then bring heat down to medium. Add salt to taste. You may also add some Oregano, it gives it a good flavor. Around 1 tsp. Once meatballs are well cooked add chopped cilantro. All done! Very yummy. You can add or delete things to make this your own. Congratulations to for your new addition! May you have many happy years full of love and tradition!
I forgot another one!
Strawberry Pancakes
Ingredients:
Ready made pancake mixture
water
strawberries
butter
confectioners sugar
whipped cream
Method:
Prepare pancake mixture according to package
chop strawberries into small pieces
mix strawberries into batter
Make pancakes on skillet or pan with butter.
Once finishe add confectioners sugar on top of pancakes, then add whipped cream and some strawberries on top. I love these because you can use other fruits too! They are not for everyday but they can be a once in a while treat! If you want to make it healthier then use whole wheat pancake mix and non stick pan! Have fun!
