El Salvadorian Food Part II

Food Diary for Thursday 4/22
Happy Earth Day for those who notice...
Breakfast - Banana, lean turkey breast slice, glass of orange juice, calcium supplement & multi-vitamin.
Snacks - Carrots.  Sunflower seed, raisin, almond mix.  Piece of Nature Valley Granola Bar.  Yeah, yeah carbs.  My appetite has been insatiable this week and it was handy.
Lunch - Hard boiled egg.  Salad with spinach, tomato, broccoli, carrots, black beans, fresh peas, dried cilantro.
Dinner - Mexican food night with the girl friends.  Instead of going out, we're saving money and making pupusas.  Different filling verision.  Pupusa Filling: Saute 1 small yellow onion, 1/2 green pepper, 1 1/2 tsp minced garlic.  Combine with 15 oz can rinsed and drained black beans, 1 1/2 tsp dried cilantro.  Blend in food processor.  Mix with grated pepper jack cheese.  Masa mix is the same - although I added the full 1 tbsp cumin made "thin rounds" instead of "bowls."  Put the bean mixture in between the rounds and pressed the edges together.  Brushed canola oil on each side.  Cooked for 4 min on each side over med-high heat.  Served with salsa on top.  AMAZING!
