Recipe for the day is:

Quesadilla

Ingredients

Large flour tortillas
Grated cheese - either mild or sharp cheddar, or Monterey Jack
Olive oil or grapeseed oil

Optional:
Sliced mushrooms
Green onions
Black olives, sliced
Fresh tomatoes, diced
Chicken pieces
Avocado

Lettuce
Apple cider vinegar
Salt

Method

1 Heat a large cast iron frying pan to medium high heat. Add a small amount of oil (about 1/2 teaspoon) and spread it around the bottom of the pan with a spatula (you could use butter as well). Take one large flour tortilla and place it in the pan. Flip the tortilla over a few times, 10 seconds between flips. Air pockets should begin to form within the tortilla.

2 When pockets of air begin to form, take a handful of grated cheese, sprinkle over the top of the tortilla, making sure that the cheese does not land on the pan itself. Add whatever additional ingredients you choose - green onion, sliced mushrooms, olives, tomatoes, etc. If you would like your quesadilla to be a chicken quesadilla, add some diced cooked chicken. Take care not to layer on the ingredients to thickly - this is a quesadilla, not a quiche.

3 Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. The cast iron pan should be hot enough by now to have plenty of residual heat to melt the cheese and brown the tortilla. If the quesadilla begins to smoke too much, remove from the heat. After a minute, check to see if the cheese is melted. If not, return the cover and keep checking every minute until the cheese is melted. When the cheese is sufficiently melted, use a spatula to lift up one side of the quesadilla and flip over the other side, as if you were making an omelette. The tortilla should by now be browned slightly. If it is not browned, turn the heat up to high and flip the quesadilla over every 10 seconds or so until it gets browned. Remove from pan and cut into wedges.

To make the lettuce to accompany the quesadilla, thinly slice some iceberg lettuce. Sprinkle some cider vinegar on it and some salt.

Serve with the lettuce, salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.

Recipe of the day is!

Personal Pizzas

You can't please all of the people all of the time, although you could come close when you let the people please themselves. Want to test this theory on the kids? Set them up with pizza dough and all kinds of toppings, and stand aside while they create self-serve solutions.


What you need:

• Pizza crust
• Pizza sauce
• Bite-size and shredded toppings
• Round or rectangular pans (optional)
• Pizza stone (optional)

One For All

• Divide pizza dough into single-size portions or take a whole pizza crust and designate a section for each kid.
• An efficient way to make a lot of individual pizzas: pat most of the dough into a large rectangle and make a grid pattern with strips of remaining dough. Let kids fill the grids with the toppings of their choice. When the pizza is baked, use a pizza wheel or large knife to cut along the grid lines.
• Explore other pizza shapes. How about hearts, flowers, bears, fish or even kid-shaped pizzas?
• Make individual pizza pockets--or calzones--by spreading half a round of raw pizza dough with sauce and toppings, leaving a 1-inch border. Fold the other half over and seal the edges by pressing the dough together with a fork. Brush with olive oil and bake.
• For a quick and easy pizza night, start with pre-baked pizza crust or make your pizza dough ahead of time.

Quote of the day!


"We need to be more grateful. I think there is no true character without gratitude. It is one of the marks of a real strong character to have a feeling of thanksgiving and gratitude for blessings. We need more of that spirit in our homes, in our daily associations, in the church, everywhere. It doesn't cost anything, and it is so easy to cultivate."

-Ezra Taft Benson

Give me LIBERTY or give me DEATH.

Freedom.

Liberty.

What does that mean to you?

ASK yourself this question, Am I FREE?

Do i have Liberty?

▲▲▲▲▲▲▲


Ladies and gentlemen, What i'm going to right here is VERY important.
Do we TRADE freedom for security?

Most people do.
A lot of people are slaves to their own government, depending on them for their life.
Is that prosperity? is that freedom? Is that Liberty?

Look at where The economy is.

People BLAME other people, it's never ending instead of moving forward and creating solutions.

Where is the constitution of the United States Of America?

HANGING BY A PIECE OF THREAD.

Freedom isn't free, for centuries there has been battles, wars and Blood shed, human blood.

I'm very sad to announce that for all those brave people that have died for our freedoms is not going to matter anymore.

We are being fed doses of Socialism everyday, Especially through our government.
Eventually socialism will end up becoming communism.
The United states WILL become communist country, if we don't stand up and listen to principles.

Principles Govern, PERIOD.

In 1787 the Constitution was Put into action.

14 years of creating this Document for our future, our freedom and liberty.

This election was really sad, seemed like a popularity vote.
So many people voted without researching who these people are.

Again people trading in freedom for security.

Government Role

Government is not doing their proper role.
They are not suppose to get involve with our personal lives or anywhere near that.
They are meant to protect us from force and wars.
They are doing opposite, Controlling us and forcing us to do things.

Guess who's fault that is?
Ours.

▲▲▲▲▲▲▲

Federal Reserve

It's not government.
It's a business.

Look in your phone book, It's not under government, It's under business.
Who is controlling the money?

Scary huh?

▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲

WELFARE

What does that mean to you?

True meaning: Well-being

People think it means: Government handouts, Grant money, food stamps, etc

Welfare means: YOU taking care of your self, You create your OWN well-being by being independent and exercising your Talents.
That's when prosperity comes in.

By depending on government means you will never have prosperity.


▲▲▲▲▲▲

In God we Trust

This country was created under GOD.

We shouldn't be forced to take out the pledge, to take out "In GOD we trust" in quarters, etc.

No one is forced to say the pledge or anything GOD- related.

They have a choice.

Hope you all listen to truth and Pray about things.

Please think with your BRAIN and not with your Emotions.

Enojoy this video. it was spoken about 40 years ago.
It will leave your jaw open.

Alma 37:37 (the book of mormon)

Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good ; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day.
