Herb/spice of the Day: Cinnamon

I know this is really basic but I would really be lost without it. I am adding it today because it is used in my recipe. Other foods I like to use it in include, cinnamon toast, or a dash in some hot chocolate or coffee. It is also a must have for all the upcoming holiday cooking; pies, puddings sauces etc.

HTH of the Day: Flour Tortilla Shells

Not just for tacos anymore.

I alwasy keep a couple of packs of tortilla shells in the fridge. I use tham for taco's enchilada's quisidilla's, these are the obvious. they are also great for a quik snack such as a sandwich wrap, or cheese wrap. You can make dessert items such as empanada's or cinnamon crisps. Warm them with butter and use them as aside with chile, or a mexican style box dinner. And of course my four year old loves to eat them straight out of the package.

Very First Post on My very First Blog

I have never tried to blog before but I thought it might be fun. I am centering this blog site on cooking, sharing recipes and ideas. My goal is to post every day with one new HTH (have to have) grocery item, one of my favorite herbs/spice and where I use it, and a recipe. I hope you enjoy it.
