Fat Donkey & a diet coke

Humorously ironic as Cazadores means ‘The deer hunter’ this restaurant offers vegetarian meals. This is a testament that they will make sure everyone is happy especially with their inexpensive quick meals, kids menu and the fact that they tout they have “The Best Texas Margaritas this side of the border!”.

Feeling a little under the weather or just want some anti-flu insurance? THIS WILL CURE WHAT AILS YOU: Sopa de pollo, a traditional Mexican soup made with chunks of chicken, rice, tomatoes, onions, cilantro,and topped with pico de gallo and sliced avocados.

The cheesy friends always get the Chilaquiles: corn tortilla strips cooked in a rich sauce with chunks of beef or chicken and topped with melted cheese. Served with rice & beans.

My sister in law always gets ‘Speedy with beans’ which is the Speedy Gonzales No.1: one taco, one enchilada, choice of rice or beans. Andale Andale, Yipa Yipa!

The dear husband always gets the ‘Numero Once de pollo’ which is #11, one burrito, taco and enchilada. And one can never go wrong (my favorite) with a little fat donkey which is: a Burrito Grande One GIANT burrito filled with your choice of shredded chicken or ground beef. Extremely nice to the tummy and wallet.

Top shelf quick chicken biscuits, chicken wraps or sandwiches when you need to eat on the go. Always made fresh daily and nutritious and ahem! Healthy. Lovely coffee, and great for office breakfasts to go. Nice for those who have dietary restrictions, everyone will be happy and healthy. Love them! Kid friendly menus too.

A juicy top sirloin, wrapped with hickory-smoked bacon, grilled and topped with sweet, barrel-aged whiskey glaze and a bacon-wrapped roasted onion. Then on to the Parmesan Crusted Chicken. Two juicy chicken breasts, grilled and topped with a parmesan cheese and garlic crust. Served with choice of two sides.Their New Grilled Vegetable Salad is Crisp romaine tossed with balsamic vinaigrette and topped with fresh grilled vegetables, fire-roasted corn, red onion, roma tomatoes, asparagus and feta cheese. We just could not resist,espcially with that lovely gift card we had.

Please visit No Reservations: Hungry for More on Facebook and give me a THUMBS UP for this review!

Ready for a once in a lifetime exhilaration? You have GOT to do this! For a special birthday or anniversary, or if you are just in the San Diego or Los Angeles area, this experience was unsurpassed. My sister Wanda was having her 40th birthday and so I surprised her with a Temecula California sunrise hot air balloon ride!

hotairdfeb24a678297ae7e278b5dc05788dfbaced66

Beyond exhilarating. First of all we felt very safe as our pilot has many many years of experience. Secondly we were so sweetly surprised with the champagne, coffee, juice, fruit and sweet pastry breakfast. It really was so exciting that we needed a power nap afterwards!

“Floating over the terrain of Temecula’s wine country while enjoying the splendor of a mountain sunrise and sipping local champagne…Flights last from 50 minutes to one hour and 15 minutes.”

Oh Black Betty BAM buh LAM! 2.0

20 Sep

bbb2.0FoodiesMyra009-1b

You will LOVE the texture of these brownies. I have tinkered with this recipe and I really love this. See my additions in parenthesis.

Makes 9 squares

Ingredients:
15oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 bananas (or 1 c unsweetened applesauce) see http://budurl.com/q553? for full substitution lists
1/3 cup agave nectar (or 1/3 c other sweetener, I used a sucralose (Splenda) product and about 1/8 tsp of stevia powder)
1/4 cup cocoa (I used a combo of milk and dark cocoa powders)
1 tbsp ground cinnamon (I used only 1/8 tsp)
1 tsp vanilla extract
a few drops mint extract *optional (I omitted this but added a small handful of almonds, 1/4 c coconut flakes and 1/8 tsp coconut flavoring)
1/4 cup raw sugar **optional (I omitted this Oh ya I added heaping 1 Tbsp espresso powder to make the chocolate POP)
1/4 cup quick/instant oats (I used 1/4 plus 1/8 c of my own freshly ground oats & added 1/4 c egg white product too)
chocolate chips *optional (I used about 1/2 cup milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips, sprinkled on bottom of sprayed pan)
chopped walnuts *optional (I omitted this)

** if your bananas are really ripe (browning) you probably won’t need the extra sugar; I suggest making the batter without it, then taste testing it to see if you need to add more sugar.

[my first batch I tried really over-ripe bananas and opted to not use them the second time, I thought the banana flavor was too overpowering and opted to use the applesauce instead, I'm pleased with this]

Directions:
1. Preheat 350F
2. Combine all ingredients, except oats, in a food processor or blender
3. Blend until smooth, scrapping sides as needed
4. Stir in the oats
5. Pour into a greased 8×8 in pan (I have used olive oil spray and it turns out fine if you choose this option)
6. Bake approx 30 minutes, toothpick test
7. Allow to completely cool before slicing
** if you find these brownies are too soft or too fudge-y, add another 1/4 cup oats or flour

Butterscotch Pudding – modified

20 Sep

butterscotchpuddingFoodiesMyra013-1

Butterscotch Pudding – Modified
4-6 servings

Adapted again by Myra Cook (icobb.com) I like to refer to the Happy Herbivore @happyherbivore lady for my substitutions. Here is a short link http://budurl.com/q553

Originally adapted from [asa]0066212464[/asa]Ripe For Dessert (HarperCollins)

4 tablespoons (60g) butter, salted or unsalted (I substituted for equal amounts of applesauce smashed canned or cooked light beans or pumpkin)

1 cup (200g) packed dark brown or cassonade sugar

I substituted for 1 c Sucralose, Splenda or Sugar Twin makes a sugar free brown sugar. Refer to http://budurl.com/q553 for other variations

3/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt (I modified down to about 1/3-1/4 of that amount)

3 tablespoons cornstarch

2 1/2 (625ml) cups whole milk (I used about 3/4c whole milk and the rest water)

2 large eggs (I used egg whites)

2 teaspoons whiskey (or other flavoring)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan. Add the dark brown sugar and salt, then stir until the sugar is well-moistened. Remove from heat.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with about 1/4 cup (60ml) of the milk until smooth (there should be no visible pills of cornstarch), then whisk in the eggs.

3. Gradually pour the remaining milk into the melted brown sugar, whisking constantly, then whisk in the cornstarch mixture as well.

4. Return the pan to the heat and bring the mixture to a boil, whisking frequently. Once it begins to bubble, reduce the heat to a low simmer and continue to cook for one minute, whisking non-stop, until the pudding thickens to the consistency of hot fudge sauce.

5. Remove from heat and stir in the whiskey and vanilla. If slightly-curdled looking, blend as indicated above.

6. Pour into 4-6 serving glasses or custard cups and chill thoroughly, at least four hours, before serving.

2 fer 1 shillings?

shillings-1

2 fer 1 shillings

Everybody needs some shillings. I could use some shillings. You can save some shillings by eating at Shillings? Best of all, Shillings on the Square is actually two restaurants in one. Great for american and seafood they are best known for their consistant burgers, reubens, appetizers, lunch fare and a great place to grab a thirsty beverage on the historic Marietta square.

The Streetside Grill, which is located on the main floor of the restaurant, has a casual, pub-like atmosphere. Top of the Square, which is located upstairs over-looking the quaint, historic Marietta Square, is a casually elegant candlelit dining room. Jazz band on Wednesdays but not too loud to drown out your conversation. Check them out next time you rock the square.
