Food For Thought:

Chicken Alfredo

A friend shared some of her delicious chicken alfredo with me. It was very tasty! She said she made too much and wanted to share. That is always fine with me. She was worried the broccoli pieces in the dish were too big. I told her not to worry because I would eat it without any complaints. I like broccoli and didn't mind that there were large pieces.

When I cook for others I am self-critical about it sometimes and ask questions about the food because I am worried someone might not like it. I think it is a natural way to think about cooking food and sharing it with other people.

Are you a self-conscious cooker or are you confident that the recipient of your creation will love every aspect of the food you make?

It is a kind gesture to share food with other people. If you want to share food with a friend, this Easy Baked Beans Recipe might be a good choice for the occasion. Let me know if you make it and share it with a friend. I would love to know what they think of the recipe.

My Thoughts On Baked Beans:

This recipe is made with pork and beans. When I was a kid, my sister loved pork and beans. We would spend time with my grandparents during the summer and my sister told my grandparents she loved pork and beans. I remember them laughing and they bought a whole case of pork and beans for her to enjoy when she wanted. What won't grandparents do for their grandchildren?

I like bacon in my baked beans. The bacon gives baked beans that smokey flavor that goes well with the sweetness of the brown sugar. When I think of baked beans, I think of family gatherings and the Fourth of July.

Extra Information For You:

Baked beans, a quintessential American comfort food, have a rich history.

• Native American Origins: The concept of cooking dried beans in a pot likely originated with Native American cultures, who enjoyed beans as a staple food.

• Puritan Influence: When European settlers arrived in North America, they adopted the practice of cooking beans from the Native Americans. The Puritans, in particular, found baked beans convenient as they could be prepared on Saturday and enjoyed on Sundays when cooking was prohibited.

• The Role of Molasses: The addition of molasses to baked beans is often attributed to the New England colonists, who had access to this ingredient through the triangular trade.

• Canned Convenience: The late 19th century brought about the mass production of canned baked beans, making this hearty dish accessible to a wider audience.

Today, baked beans remain a popular side dish, enjoyed in various regional styles and flavors. To learn more interesting facts and the history of baked beans, visit Love Food's article.

Thoughts On Tortilla Soup:

I don't know about you but I can eat soup all year around. It doesn't matter if it is hot outside I still like to eat soup, especially if it is great Tortilla Soup! I am a jalapeno lover so I like to add some fresh-cut raw jalapenos to my soup. If the jalapeno peppers are too hot for you then you can add some crushed red pepper. Where are my spicy friends? I know my last recipe was a Mexican dish but this falls into the soup category and I give myself a pass for posting it today.

Extra Information:

Did you know that tortilla soup was invented in Tlaxcala the Mexican state? Tortilla soups is a staple food for the Mexican people. Every family may make it just a little different but it is a sure thing you just may find some sort of tortilla soup in their house. You can learn more about tortilla soup by visiting Slurrp.

Quick Question:

Have you ever tasted tortilla soup? What do you think about the recipe I shared here? If you haven't tasted this Mexican soup I would like to encourage you, like always to give it a go and whip a pot of soup up. Another question for you. Did you see my last recipe? It is a Mexican recipe as well. You may like it. It is called Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas. It is a Mexican easy recipe you will love just as much as tortilla soup.

My Thoughts:

Here is a picture of a pepper plant my mother bought for me for my birthday. I thought you would enjoy seeing a picture of it. My daughter put it in a bucket and has been watering it. I can't remember the name of this pepper but it turns red when it is ripe and it has a smokey flavor to it. I wish it was an heirloom plant so I could save the seeds and grow more. They grow really big and I love them.

It has been a busy week so far. I am looking forward to the weekend to try some new recipes. I have a friend where I work who shared with me some taco chicken. I am still trying to get that secret recipe. It tasted super. I do know there is taco seasoning in the chicken but there is also other ingredients as well. I think recipes should be shared. I don't understand "secret" recipes that people do not want to share with others. I could understand if it was a donut chain or fried chicken empire but just a regular recipe that you cook at home should be shared with the world.

I think this is a good place in this recipe blog post to mention something that I heard and I can get your feedback on what you would do in that same situation. I was at an apartment complex and the neighbors upstairs were being very loud. I heard yelling and they had their windows open for everyone to hear. I know you might expect me to tell you I heard a couple fighting but that is not what I heard. I heard a mother yelling at her four year old daughter. It wasn't just once but it went on and on. It was hard for me to listen to. Some of the things I heard made me want to go knock on her door and ask if everything was ok. Actually if I am completely honest I wanted to go yell at the woman for yelling at her child like she did. I didn't do anything. I just left and thought about it a lot this evening. I felt so sad for that little girl. Kids should not be spoken to that way. What would you do in that situation? I know this is a serious topic to share in a recipe blog post but this is also my personal blog where I share things in my life. At any rate, I would love to hear from you about this recipe or anything else I write.

Thank you so much for reading! Have a super blessed day!
