Trust me guys, this cake is good for dessert anytime, or for breakfast with a nice hot cup of coffee or latte, or even as a snack with a glass of carrot or pomegranate juice, (to stay in the healthy path, smile). It doesn’t take much time to make and I am sure that you have all the ingredients in your pantry. If you don’t have blueberries in the fridge, use blackberries or raspberries. Bon Appetite! Approximate Prep and Cooking Time: 30 to 45 minutes Approximate Cost: $5.81 or .73 cents per serving Difficulty Level: X Easy Servings: 8 Ingredients 2 cups of all-purpose flour ($1.50) 2 tsp. Baking Powder (.20) ¼ tsp. salt (.15) 1 tsp. fresh nutmeg (.15) ½ tsp. cinnamon (.15) 1 cup of white sugar (.40) 1/3 cup unsalted butter at room temperature (.70) ¾ cups of evaporated milk, Carnation (.85) 1 egg at room temperature (.16) 1 cup of blueberries (rinsed) ($1.25) ¼ cup Confectioner sugar to sprinkle on top (.30) Directions Turn your oven at 350 degrees and butter a Bundt cake pan. Sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. On a separate bowl beat butter until soft and then begin to add the flour mix to the butter, alternating with the milk. Do Not Overbeat. Add the egg and mix lightly. Add the rinsed and drained blueberries and fold with a spatula into the batter until mixed. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, depending on your oven. Test for doneness with a tooth pick that should come out clean. When done, remove from oven and let it cool down. Remove from mold and sprinkle with powder sugar. HACK: To serve, follow my slide show and just garnish with any other fruit that you may have in the fridge or a nice scoop of ice cream and a spring of mint. Enjoy!

Sometimes pork chops are so thick that makes then kind of hard to cook well done yet keep them tender. What I like to do is to cut the bone off, remove most of the fat and then slice in smaller thinner pieces. Not only they cook faster and stay tender but also they absorb the seasonings fast and very well. Oh, and no, I don’t discard the bones. I season them thoroughly, pan seared to get them golden brown and use then in soups. Sooo Goood! Approximate Prep and Cooking Time: 35-40 minutes Approximate Cost: $5.75 or $2.88 per serving Difficulty Level: X Easy Servings: 2 Ingredients 2 large Pork chops ($2.00) 1 1/2 tsp. Adobo or AdoboChon or the pork seasoning of your choice (.30) 1 cup Pasta Medley ($1.50) 2 ½ tbsp. Angie’s Basting Oil or the seasoned oil of your choice (.45) 1 Avocado ($1.50) Directions Start by cooking the Pasta Medley according to the bag directions. Meantime, clean, cut and season the chops with 1 1/2 tsp. Adobo and 1 tbsp. of basting oil. Refrigerate. Shortly before the Pasta Medley is done (30 minutes) Sauté the chops, (well done) in a skillet adding ½ tbsp. of basting oil if needed. Slice the avocado and you are done! NOTE: I purchased the Pasta Medley at The World Market. It's a mix of wild rice, long grain, split peas, orzo, quinoa and couscous. One More Rotisserie Chicken, with Pickled Green Bananas and Avocado OK, time to cheat tonight folks! I was out all day and a brilliant idea came to mind. I knew I had pickled green bananas leftover from yesterday and avocados at home. Therefore, I rushed to get a rotisserie chicken. When I got home I just warmed up the bananas, sliced the avocado and in 10 minutes, dinner was ready. Sweet! Quick Recipe :) Approximate Prep and Cooking Time: 10 minutes Approximate Cost: $8.80 or $2.20 per serving Difficulty Level: XX Easy Servings: 4 Ingredients 4 sides of Leftover green pickled bananas (or any other veggie you have in the fridge) ($2.50) 4 rotisserie chicken pieces, skin removed ($3.80) 2 avocados ($2.50) Salt and pepper to taste Directions Cut the two legs and tights, then cut one breast in half. Keep them warm in a skillet in low. Warm up the veggies Slice the avocado Done!!!!!!!! What a combination! Pork tenderloin is such an easy cut to cook with. The bonus? It’s already tender and it tastes delicious if you add the right ingredients. One tenderloin pack, which includes 2 tenderloins, renders a lot, especially when is cooked with shitake mushrooms, since the texture and flavor of this type of mushroom comperes to meat. Enjoy.
