Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies

By -
With Valentine´s Day just around the corner, these cookies are sure to be a hit. I baked these this morning, while the kids were at school and Mr. G at work. They are fantastic, and really, really easy to make. They are made with the use of a box cake mix, how cool is that ?  They would be  great to bake with the help of little hands, and in less then 30 minutes you have some yummy cookies. Well sure enough as soon as everyone came home, the cookies started to disappear, as I finish posting this, I believe there are only five left ! A sure sign, they are  delicious, hope you give them a try.








1 Strawberry Cake Mix, I used Duncan Hines
1 teaspoon Baking Powder.
2 Eggs.
1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil
1/2 TSP Vanilla
2 Cups White Chocolate Chips


DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 180//350.
Line a Baking Sheet with Parchment Paper (the paper will keep your cookies from spreading).
In a small bowl whisk eggs, oil and vanilla Set aside.
In a medium bowl mix together cake mix and baking powder.
Add egg mixture to cake mixture and stir all together until all the dry cake mix lumps disappear.
Fold in Chocolate Chips.
Drop round (about 1 Tablespoon) balls onto baking sheet. You will want your balls to be taller and less wide.
Bake for 10 minutes. Be careful to not allow for browning.
Allow to cool and then transfer to wire rack.

***** I mixed everything all at once, in one bowl !

My Grandmother's Alcatra de Carne

By -

“Alcatra” is a traditional dish from Terceira, the island I live on. It is a pot roast that is cooked in large unglazed red clay pots. The pots are seasoned, and with each use get darker, and darker.  The simple spices, combined with onions, bacon and wine are what make this dish  flavorfull and so good. "Alcatra" is the Arabic word for "piece", and  it is  made with pieces of beef (round, shank, chuck). The additon of meat with bone in, makes all the difference, as the bones will give it more flavor. Every village, and everybodies grandmother has a different recipe for Alcatra, this one happens to be my grandmother's version. Shortly after I married, I took all of my ingredients, a notebook and pen over to my maternal grandmother's house. Where, while she put everything together, I wrote down her words of wisdom. Now I must say, she may or may not have forgotten something, but I follow this recipe as is, I don't mess arond with it, it's her recipe,

Lapas Grelhadas- Grilled Limpets

What are lapas you ask? They are limpets, a shellfish, think clams, but  with only one shell and so much better, they taste of the sea when eaten raw, right out of the shell. Perhaps eating a raw limpet is not your thing, then lapas grelhadas is sure to be! Easy to prepare, the lapas are grilled and served in their own shells; resulting in a savory, and divine dish. Great as a starter or as a lazy summer afternoon meal. I promise that you will enjoy this  Azorean delicacy. Fresh Lapas Butter, soft, I like salted Garlic, minced Massa de Malagueta or Piri Piri/Tabasco/Sriracha Lemon Wedges -Clean the lapas, removing any debris, sand etc. -Next decide how you want to grill them, on the stove top, use a griddle or large frying pan, in the oven or BBQ use a large cookie sheet. They all work, and taste great! -Carefully, arrange the lapas, shell down (cupped side down, this means the juices won’t spill out), on the pan, cookie sheet or griddle you will be using. -Nex

Canja de Galinha

Canja is my favorite soup in the whole entire world! I know that sounds childlike, but that's exactly how I feel when I eat this beautiful rice and chicken soup. It just takes me back to being a little girl, sitting at my grandfather's kitchen table, eating a bowl of my grandmother's canja and drinking a bottle of  fizzy orange pirolito. When ever we arrived here on the island for our holiday's, canja was one of the many dishes, that was part of the big family lunch at my maternal grandparent's home. I make it for my family because they enjoy it, but I tend to make it for myself when I am a little under the weather, or just feeling saudades. Canja is love in a bowl, like a great big warm hug, comfort at it's best. Like any portuguese dish, there are a million and one ways to make this. Some call for the use of cumin, others the addition of potatoes. This is how I make it, these simple flavors, are the closest to what my grandmother's  and my mom's Ca
