Flavored/ El Salvador rice

by AppleCrisp on January 5, 2012

Tonight my wife and I hosted my parents and siblings for the evening. We ate in style, with my wife showing her skills in supplying a meal fit for a king… sorry, president, seeing we live in the USA.

Before finishing our family Christmas celebrations, we feasted on chicken wings, salad, and El Salvador rice, which received quite a few compliments. Made with white rice, chicken base, and sauteed vegetables, it’s a flavorful (and healthy) piece of the puzzle in a well-rounded meal.

Pennsylvania Dutch Sauerkraut

by AppleCrisp on January 2, 2012

Another dish that’s often served on New Year’s is sauerkraut, a type of pickled cabbage. Some people like it sour, and others prefer to have it more sweet. If you prefer it sweet, simply add brown sugar till it suits your tastebuds.

Ok, so why not try your hand at it? You still have the whole winter; even if the holidays are past, who says it has to be served around the holidays? Try sauerkraut anytime and enjoy healthy, tasty eating all through 2012!
