Good evening! We ate at Jalapeno Tree tonight - a place we've never chosen as a rule - but tonight it was for a wonderful cause. 15% of their take is going to the local Smith County Chapter of the American Red Cross - and we (I am a 14- year board member) desparately need it. In one month's time - we have spent about $33,000 just providing clothing, food, shelter, etc., to victims of single family home fires in Smith County. In the history of the local Red Cross this has never been as devastating! I will have to say - our food was very good, the service was great and we will go back. Thankfully it was very crowded and we can only hope many were out to help the Red Cross.
First - let me tell you about the Apple Enchilada Dessert we served last night. I am almost embarrased because it is so simple -- well if you are makeing 8 instead of 140!!
Apple Enchilda Dessert or as some call it Apple Tortillas
8 flour tortillas
1 Can Apple Pie Filling
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 stick margarine
1 cup water
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Combine sugars, butter, water,and cinnamon, in sauce pan and heat until boiling. Add red cake coloring. Place one or two tablespoons of pie mix into each tortilla and roll up. Place into 9X11 dish. Pour hot mixture over tortillas. Sprinkle a tad more of cinnamon on top. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 to 35 minutes. Serve hot with ice cream or cool whip.
CINNAMON is one of my favorite flavors and an important ingredient that helps one's health and the taste of lots of good food. There are about four places that Cinnamon comes from - China, Vietnam, Korintje and Caylon. Each one has a slightly different flavor and scent and at Pensey's you can try them all! (NO - I do not work for Pensey's on the side -- I just love their products!!) The Ceylon cinnamon is recommended because of its true cinnamon flavor for baking and with fruit! The cinnamon most often found in U S supermarkets is theKorintje cinnamon. I love Pensey's cinnamon but usually buy it from Central Market in bulk because Travis (my husband) takes a teaspoon of cinnamon each day. He has been taking it for about 3 years and it has lowered his cholesterol significantly. So buy yourself some good cinnamon and start flavoring your meals and improving your health. It is even recommended for chili, toast, chocolate cake, and of course - yummy cinnamon rolls!
I think the evening is getting to me so I had better say good night and try to get some rest. May God Bless each of you -- Happy Cooking until tomorrow!!
