So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Try This Entirely Different Mexican Black Bean Salad Recipe

By Thomas Bell


Good food is something you just cannot resist. When it comes to Mexican food, the temptation is even more serious. It doesn't take too much time or too much effort to prepare some of those recipes, and you will be more than satisfied. For example, you could try this entirely different Mexican black bean salad recipe. It's not something you will find in any Mexican restaurant, but it is based on similar principle.

Basic ingredients are the same, black beans from the can, canned sweet corn, avocado, sliced, lime juice, chili powder, garlic, minced, a clove or two, or more if you prefer, salt and pepper and olive oil. But, here are also two hard-cooked eggs, two potatoes cooked in skin, peeled and sliced, red sweet pepper, also sliced, white vinegar and green onion.

Combine sliced onion with vinegar and salt and set aside. You can also put it into the fridge for a while. Slice red pepper and avocado. Mix garlic, lime juice, oil and spices, add sliced onion with vinegar and add all other ingredients. Mix well and decorate with fresh coriander leaves. Add as much spices as you want, or more olive oil, according to your taste.

Here is another simple recipe you might like. So, basic ingredients such as corn and black beans, oil, salt, pepper and chili pepper. And then, three slices of toast bread, 200 grams feta cheese, 250 grams young spinach and oregano. Rinse and drain canned ingredients first, and if spinach leaves are large, cut them into strips.

Cut toast into cubes and bake in greased pan sprinkled with salt and oregano for a few minutes. Prepare your dressing, mixing together olive oil, lime juice, spices and sliced chili pepper and minced garlic. Cut feta cheese into small cubes, add all other ingredients and mix well. Add more spices or oil if you think it is needed.

Grilled salad, why not. One smaller eggplant, sliced, one zucchini, sliced as well, one green pepper, sliced, one sweet red pepper, usual ingredients such as black beans and sweet corn in can, tablespoon of acetto balsamico, olive oil, minced garlic, three cloves, two nice tortillas, avocado, salt, pepper, chili powder, lime and a good grated cheese, that's what you need for this recipe.

So, slice and dice what has to be sliced and diced first. Grill eggplant slices or strips, zucchini and sweet green pepper, and then grill tortilla stripes as well. In the meantime, make a dressing. Combine oil, juice, spices, garlic and acetto. Mix well and add grilled ingredients, while still hot, and all other ingredients. Sprinkle with grated cheese and leaves of basil or coriander.

This simple salad is really nice one. Use corncobs, black beans, avocado, garlic, salt, pepper, chili powder, lime juice, red sweet pepper, sliced and good olive oil. Then, add chopped dried tomatoes and green salad cut into stripes. Mix well and serve in tortillas, for example, or as a side dish, you will simply enjoy in it. It really doesn't take too much time to prepare, and tastes great.
