Hot flavors for Cinco de mayo...Or any other day

Let's start off by mentioning what is the celebration of cinco de mayo. Many people think we celebrate the independence of Mejico which in fact what is really celebrated is the victory of el ejercito mejicano against the french army, which by the way was unlikely to happen and also happened during the american civil war. So in honor of el ejercito mejicano in the town of Puebla, Mejico and the freedom of every Mejicano, in the United States they observe 5 de mayo.

So I have been watching so much t.v. these day since I had a couple of days off my regular job I remembered a recipe thateven though is not mexican it does have some of the flavors of Mejico and here I share a simple breakfeast.

Poached egg over a tortilla hash

Hash
Couple of cubes of smoked ham
1 small potato cubed
Half an onion diced
1/4 cup poblano pepper diced
 couple of tablespoons of tomato sauce
1 tspn of garlic powder

Sautee the potato, onion and pepper with 1 tsp of oil and a couple of tablespoons of butter.

Add a couple of tablespoons of tomato sauce or sub for a tomato salsa which is a mixture of tomato, red onios, peppers and cilantro.

Add hot sauce to your liking.

Heat up a tortilla and fold it un quarters
Place it first on the dish.

A little intro will start things just right

So let's kick off this blog with some introductions my name is Melissa and I am from the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. I love all things home and even though I don't get to spend that much time here, since I am a working mother, I love spending a few minutes of my day learning something new. I absolutely love the kitchen so don't be surprised if you read more about cooking than gardening. As I mentioned I am a working mother, I work at a retail store and mother a happy baby boy. I have made it my life purpose to experience as much as I can from experimenting foods to traveling places, finding those simple life hacks to get through life easier, parenting and work techniques. Life is a beautiful thing to just waste it on just working and sleeping, so I hope this blog will entertain and also be informative on all things lifestyle. Write ya back soon ;)
