Bean Burritos ~ Simple Fast and easy
Burrito means a small donkey in Spanish. They are Tex-Mex food and found in the border states of Mexico and all over the US. I\'m not quite sure why they are called this, if you look it up on Wikipedia it says that it\'s because they resemble either a donkey\'s ear or the rolls of blankets that the donkeys carry. I don\'t know, because I didn\'t have a \"burrito\" until I went to the states. The variety and ingredients that you can put into a burrito are endless. Not to mention the different ways to cook or fry it, to add sauce outside or inside, what kind of sauce, well it goes on and on. This recipe is both simple and quick for a lunch or a dinner, if you add rice and or meat you can make a big meal out of it. This recipe is so simple that I sometimes feel like I\'m cheating, but what can I say when my husband loves these bean burritos with just beans, tortillas, some salsa and cheese, ( so easy to please:).
Apple Cinnamon Raisin Oatmeal
Apples are in season right now and I\'m taking full advantage of it. I bought a 2 kilo bag and the first thing I made was my favorite Apple Cinnamon Raisin Oatmeal. I started making this oatmeal as an alternative to the prepackaged one that I loved but were to sweet for me. This tastes much better and is healthier than taking in all that sugar and preservatives. Some fun facts about apples: Apples are a member of the rose family , Newton\'s law of gravity came to be thanks to a falling apple, they are low in calories, high in dietary fiber, good for your heart, good for your lungs, they originated from central Asia, where brought to North America in the 1600s , there are over 7,000 varieties, the peel is full of antioxidants, you can play games with them, they are so cool that a computer company and a record company use their name, and you can also be tempted with them - well they are delicious after all !
