Heat another small skillet and OIL CORN TORTILLAS BY HAND JUST SLIGHTLY
Heat on one side and turn on other side and when soft, fold and cook just enough to give form, but it is not fried or hard. It is soft

Place warm tortillas on plate and spoon vegetables into the middle of each one. Then sprinkle with fresh grated parmesian cheese and add fresh sliced avocados. (you can also add fresh diced tomatoes)

Eat with chips and homemade salsa. Delicious!

Another Delicio Meal

Steph's Zesty Salad

Get out the cutting board
and a good-sized salad type bowl

Lettuce (your choice, we use organic baby romaine)

Red Onion (slice "very thin" slices)

Cherry tomatoes (we cut them in half)

Avacado (I usually only need one since its just for 2 people)
(peel off hard layer, remove seed and cut into nice med-size chunks or you can go thin with it-your choice)

Cheese (I prefer goat cheese, my favorite..but you can use feta, fresh grated parm and or there is some good "rice" cheese that you can use if you are a vegan or cannot tolerate too much dairy)

sliced almonds/walnuts/pecans (optional) (Preheat oven to 350, then spread nuts onto a ungreased pan. cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally till toasted.) (Now if you want to add a sweet/salty flavor, put the nuts in the pan and then drizzle lightly with some olive oil and then sprinkle a small amount of sugar and salt) (You can always use Palm sugar which is healthier and helps keep the glycemic levels low (comes from coconut) or stevia, Agave-use whichever sweetner you prefer)

Dried cranberries (totally optional) (I dont add these often but sometimes like to change it up)

Croutons (Optional)

Put everything into the Salad bowl and mix together. Then pour some of my Homemade Salad Dressing in with the mix and serve)

It is zesty and filling

Oven baked Regular and Sweet Potato Fries

Turn oven on 375
Pull out a good sized bowl
a cutting board
a good sized baking pan


Olive oil (about a 1/3 cup)

Pepper (to your liking)

Salt (to your liking)

garlic powder (optional)

Slap your mama seasoning (optional but adds major zest)

4 potatoes (You may need more, all depending on how many people are eating)
peel off the skin and then cut into long strips like french fries
2 sweet potatoes (slice just like you do the other)

Throw the sliced potatoes into the olive oil mix and use your hands (wash your hands before:-)

Make sure the mixture gets on all of the potatoes
Then place the potatoes onto the baking pan and make sure they are in a single roll and not piled on top of each other. (so you can get the french fry effect)

cook for 18 minutes but check after 12 minutes just to make sure they are cooking to your liking.

I also make a homemade bar-b-que sauce to dip these in

Children will love these. When my stepdaughter is with us she always wants me to make these. Again another Delicio (delicious) recipe

Mama's Health Tip - Why its best to avoid eating sugar

Soon to come be patient

Asbel's own Guacamole

You will need a cutting board for this


2 Avacados (peel off the hard layer and cut up the avacados into medium sized pieces and throw in a good sized bowl)
Cherry Tomatoes (He just begins slicing them and throws them into the mix)
Red onion (gage how much you want) (slice into tiny pieces and throw into the mix)
Garlic (1 clove, he minces it well and throws it into the mix)
Jalapeno (optional) He uses fresh and cuts into small pieces but never ever uses the middle part where the seeds are (seeds are the out of control spicy part) it can turn your mouth on fire and then you can't taste your food
salt (use at your discretion) (if you cannot have salt use Mrs. Dash which is salt-free something mama Haney has always used)
pepper, garlic powder
squeeze 1/2 a lime into the mix
You can also toss in a dash of cayenne pepper and give it an extra kick (I do this if I make it:-)

get a fork and mash and mix well

This is a snack Asbel and I love to have with White Corn Tortilla Chips

Mama (Joy Haney) has been a lover of Avacados since she was a little girl. She has implemented it into her diet and our families diet it seems forever. She will often eat it like you would eat an apple.
She has always said it is high in Vit E, high in potassium, a mineral which helps regulate blood pressure. It also has oleic acid which helps fight cancer. It helps lower cholesterol, and is great for the heart.

Stephenies Homemade Salad Dressing

You will need a blender or a food processor

Take 1 to 2 garlic cloves (You can chop up yourself or throw the whole thing into the mix)(note: if you are not a garlic lover then go ahead and eliminate the garlic and it will still be Delicio "Delicious")

Olive oil (I toss some in and don't measure -it all depends on how much you want to make)

Balsamic Vinegar ( I also toss this in, it is strong so don't go crazy with it)

Then squeeze half of a lemon into the mix (if you like lots of lemon squeeze in the entire lemon)

Season with Greek seasonings and herbs

I also add a pinch of salt and pepper

Blend

It really is phenom, phenom and phenom!

Researchers have said that Olive oil contains monounsaturated fat, a healthier type of fat that can help lower your risk of heart disease. Also has oleic acid which can help fight cancer.
Is also good for diabetics, helps keep to lower triglyceride levels. Mama (Joy Haney) knows best
