Rice Pudding A Family Tradition!!!!

Rice Pudding

-->

3 cups of milk (some people like to use evaporate milk, but I prefer regular milk)

2 cups of water

½ cup of sugar

1 cup of long-grain rice

4 cinnamon sticks

1/4 cup of raisins

1 tablespoon of butter

Pinch of salt

½ teaspoon of cloves

1 teaspoon lemon zest

In a pot, combine 2 cups of water and 1 of milk and also add the cinnamon, cloves, lemon zest, salt and rice.
When the rice is cooked aggregate sugar and rest of the milk.
When simmering add raisins and butter, give it another 5 minutes and take it off the stove.
Before cooling serve, I like it warm, i think it's better this way.
This is one of the things we eat when my family gets together. I don’t ever consider a dessert because we eat it for breakfast, dinner, and even for lunch; we just love it. It is a big tradition in my family. Hope you like it.

Panini For a Fullfilling Dinner

-->

One of my favorite foods is Panini; I love Panini. Panini is basically a grilled sandwich with either poultry(most of the time) or meat and cheese and herbs such as basil. It is a very fulfilling sandwich and it can be accompanied with a salad or fries or whatever you have in mind. Here is my recipe for Basil pesto Panini:

French Baguette (1)

Bunch of Watercress, clean( I love watercress it gives a earthy flavor to it)

Mozzarella, in slices

1 big chicken, grilled and sliced

1 tomato, thinly slices

Pesto

About a cup of fresh basil

Salt and pepper to taste

3 tablespoon of olive oil

½ cup of Parmesan

For the pesto

In a food processor, combine all the ingredients and processed until the ingredients look like a paste.

For the Panini

Cut baguette and spread pesto sauce in both sides.

Then aggregate and layer (in the bottom side of bread) the slices of grilled chicken, mozzarella, tomatoes and watercress. Top with the topside of the baguette and grill in a Panini maker or use a griller pan. Ta.. da here you have it!!!!
