Let's Warm up with this delicious hot chocolate recipe inspire by the one's who created it...The Aztecs! If you live somewhere warm - you have to try it anyway!
The Aztecs were the first to serve chocolate as a drink. I’m finding this is becoming popular again, as we search for the exotic! They mixed it with hot chili pepper. I tried this and love it, especially with Chicago's everlasting frigid weather. You can always reduce the amount of chili if it's too hot for you. Serves 2 Ingredients:
Preparation: Simmer milk in a saucepan with vanilla bean, cinnamon and chili. Heat through for about a minute. Whisk in grated chocolate, and continue to simmer until melted. Remove from heat and let sit or 'steep' for another 5 minutes. Strain out the spices and return to warm for about 2 minutes. I added frothed milk to the top then drizzled melted red chocolate & regular chocolate to add a pretty decoration. (Toothpick to drag & make decoration). Serve! AMAZINGLY GOOD!  It's Monday again folks! Here's a nice & easy Monday recipe I love to prep on Sunday night...so I can come home on Monday and just throw this in the oven. Letting it sit in the fridge overnight really lets the flavors meld and the moistness soak in to the meat. YUMMMMM!
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 1-1/4 hours + standing MAKES: 6 servings Ingredients · 2 eggs · 2/3 cup milk · 3 slices bread, torn · 1/2 cup chopped onion · 1/2 cup grated carrot · 1 cup (4 ounces) part-skim mozzarella cheese · 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley · 1 teaspoon dried or fresh basil, thyme or sage, optional · 1 teaspoon garlic powder · 1 teaspoon salt · 1/4 teaspoon pepper · 1-1/2 pounds ground beef (or my fav is ½ ground beef & half ground pork) TOPPING: · 1/4 cup packed brown sugar · 1 teaspoon prepared mustard · 1/2 cup tomato sauce or diced tomatoes in sauce if you like chunky! Directions 1. In a large bowl, beat eggs. Add milk and bread; let stand until liquid is absorbed. Stir in the onion, carrot, cheese and seasonings. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. 2. Shape into a 8in. x 4in. 2 1/2in. loaf in a shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 45 minutes. 3. Combine the topping ingredients; spoon half of the mixture over meat loaf. Bake 30 minutes longer or until meat is no longer pink and a meat thermometer reads 160°, occasionally spooning remaining topping over loaf. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Serve with garlic mashed and a veggie or salad and dinner is done! Kids LOVE this too. |
