Paprika Baked Potato

Ingredients 

Potato (as many as you'd like, I made 5-6 potatoes, since we are 5 people) 

Vegetable Oil to taste (don't make it too oily)

Salt to taste

Paprika to taste

Cut potato in slices and place them on a cooking tray.

Bake on 350 until the potatoes look dry, this will allow the water in the potatoes to evaporate.

Place potatoes in a tray where you can glaze vegetable oil and sprinkle the salt

Add some Paprika

Mix well

Bake on 350 degrees F, for 30 minutes or if when you stick a fork the potato is soft. Keep an eye on it making sure the potatoes don't burn.

Lay potatoes on a sheet of wax paper or paper towels to absorb the excess oil and water

Serve with fried eggs. I love dipping the potato in the yolk :)

Enjoy!

Onion Cheese Wrap

Ingredients:

1 Onion

Mozzarella cheese (as much as you like!)

Wraps (I used Tomato wraps)

Chopped lettuce, shredded carrot, sliced boiled egg and tomato(optional)

Put water in a cooking pot and turn heat to high. While you wait for the water to boil, cut up the onion in slices and place it in a bowl. 

When water is boiling put sliced onion in the cooking pot. Let it cook in water for 5-10 seconds, so the onion's acid softens. Carefully pour all the onion slices in a strainer to get rid of the liquid. Place onion in a bowl, to serve. 

Open up your wraps!

Place Mozzarella cheese and sliced onions on top of your wrap

Toast in the oven on high heat until cheese has melted

You may roll it up and eat it just like that, but I decided to add some carrot, lettuce, boiled egg and sliced tomato

Enjoy!!

Love, Mari :)

Chicken Adobo

Ingredients

Marinade:
In a glass baking dish combine

1/2 Cup of White wine
1/2 Cup of Apple cider vinegar
1 Cup of Soy sauce
1/2 Cup of Brown sugar
3/4 Teaspoon of Red pepper flakes

Whisk until sugar is dissolved, then add

2-4 Garlic gloves, crushed
2 Bay leaves

Other ingredients needed:

12-15 Chicken drumsticks
2 Cups of Chicken broth
2 Tablespoons of Lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
2 Tablespoons of chopped Parsley or Cilantro

It will look something like this:

Add 12-15 Chicken drumsticks:

Like so:

Refrigerate for 2 hours, turning the chicken halfway after the first hour.

Place chicken and marinade in a large, high sided skillet, adding 2 Cups of Chicken broth:

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 45-50 minutes, turning the chicken every 20 minutes. Insert meat thermometer into thickest part of meat, if it registers 165 degrees F, it means meat is ready. (If you don't have a thermometer, with a fork and knife, cut through one of the chicken's drumsticks and see if chicken looks cooked, whitened.)

Remove chicken and place it in a serving dish. Leave liquid in the skillet, but discard the bay leaves and garlic cloves.

Whisk 2 Tablespoons of Lemon juice into liquid and bring to a boil. Cook until mixture thickens, about 2 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over chicken.

Sprinkle chopped parsley or cilantro.

Enjoy! :)
