Pan de yogurt y frutas/ Yogurt & fruits bread

Hello Everyone, 

Quería compartir esta receta con ustedes, es súper facil de hacer y delicioso. Lo aprendí en Francia cuando trabajaba de niñera, es una nutritiva receta para desayunar y si se come calientito es delicioso!
I wanted to share this recipe that I learned to bake when I lived in France, it's so easy yet so yummy. The best part is that you can use any fruits you like, although I recommend strawberries peach and blackberries.



(to measure we'll use the yogurt container)
1 Individual yogurt nature flavor (I only found the greek kind with no flavor, it works perfect)
4 eggs
3 containers of flour
2 containers of sugar 
1 container of vegetable oil (don't use olive oil) 
3 containers (or as desired) of any fruit choped if its bigger than a blackberry.

Mix all the ingredients in that order place the mix in a baking pan, (i use wax paper for non sticking and easy dish washing). Bake for 30 to 40 min 300F
Ready! Its great with a cappuccino!

Usaremos el vasito de yogurt como medida para nuestra receta:

1 yogurt natural (individual cualquier marca, entre mas cremoso mejor)
4 huevos
3 vasitos de harina
2 vasitos de azúcar
1 vasito de aceite para cocinar que no sea de oliva
3 vasitos de fruta
Se mezcla todo y se pone en un refractario, yo uso papel de cera para cubrir el refractario, de esta manera no se pega y tengo menos problemas a la hr. de lavarlo. Se hornea por 30 a 40 min a 150C
Y listo!!!!! A comer!!!!





Tengan cuidado donde dejan su pan, Polo se comió la mitad del nuestro :(
Be careful where you place your cake, eve dogs like it mine sneaked in to the kitchen and ate half of it!

Almost christmas! Casi navidad!!!

It has been very busy lately, I have not had the time to sit down and write on my blog and I have so many things to share. I've done some stuff for my Etsy shop, and although I haven't sold anything yet, I keep on working. I've been working on my quilt from V&A museum Patchwork pattern maker... I wanted it to be a christmas present but I went shopping because with the architectural project and all I didn't have the time to have it finished by Christmas.

I've also been busy wrapping Christmas presents. That was so much fun, so here's what came out with a tight budget for wrapping.. after all you want to spend your money on what is inside right?
I've also been cooking a lot lately and I want to post the recipes for this 2 dishes that came out really good:
Soon I will post this recipes. Have fun and enjoy your Christmas eve with the family and friends that you love the most.

Finished

So my client decided not to go thru all the process and he picked the option that I liked least. as always happens as an Architect you must engage to your costumer and give him what he wants without messing up the project too much.. so here is the option he liked better and the facade ...
I will finish this weekend so that gives me freedom again and back to quilting and crafting :)
Aqui esta la opción qu escogió mi cliente, y con esto termina su proyecto... ahora si de regreso a las manualidades y el patchwork!

Tinga!

Last Wednesday it was my turn to make lunch at the house, so I decided to make a very common mexican dish, it is called tinga. I thought about sharing the recipe with you since I received a comment from an admired blogger from India! So I thought this recipe might give everyone a closer idea of mexican food.
you will need:
2 tomatoes
1 boiled chicken breast
1/4 onion
2 potatoes /diced
1 cup of green peas
1 chile chipotle
2 pieces of garlic
10 to 15 olives 
salt pepper and oil

first you want to stir frie your onions
there you can add some salt and pepper and the garlic, meanwhile you cut the tomatoes in big chunks and place them on the mixer with 2/4 cup of water, half teaspoon of salt, half of an chipotle pepper and the onions and garlic you just fried. You can find the chipotle peppers in the Hispanic foods isle,they usually look like this:
you only want to use a little bit because they can be very spicy.
 the chicken breast must be shredded, and it tastes better if you make it boil with onions, salt, garlic and some black pepper.


the ingredients must be stir fried as shown and mix the tomato sauce at the end.
Let it cook for about 10 minutes.
once its finished just serve, you can side it with some rice and eat it with some corn tortillas, tortilla chips or tostadas topped with sour cream and some grated cheese.



enjoy!
