The word tortilla comes from the Spanish “torta” meaning “round cake”.

Rebecca Webb Carranza is credited with creating tortilla chips in Los Angeles in the 1940′s. She came up with the idea to use all the scraps from the automated tortilla machine instead of throwing them away. They were cut into triangles and then fried. She then sold them for a dime a bag at the El Zarape Tortilla Factory.

In 1994, Carranza received the Golden Tortilla Award for her contribution to the Mexican food industry.

Today tortilla chips are one of the most popular snack foods.


Since this is “Heart Health Care Month”, this recipe from 2011 is for baked tortilla chips.

There is always contraversy about the way we make our chilli. We believe there is no room for chili beans in chili. ALL MEAT and seasonings. I can’t tell you how many conversations we’ve had about this. We don’t believe in any kind of fillers for chili.

My research takes me to Chuckwagon cooks who first made chili using the less tender cuts of beef like the beef brisket.

This recipe is AWESOME.   Try it and let me know what you think.
 
 
 
 
 
 

I love the idea of this week. Unfortunately, a lot of us spend so much time being angry with people and making judgment about others we never think about RAK.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could change our thoughts to positive thoughts and do something kind for someone.

The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation has some really good ideas on their website to help those who can’t think of any ideas.

She was a true quadruple threat singer, actor, producer and model.

Her amazing voice will be etched in my mind forever.

It’s unfortunate that her passing MIGHT be attributed to drugs, I hope not.  I was hoping for a come back from her.

She is now in the Lord’s hands and I’m sure she is watching over all the people she cared about.

We will miss you Whitney R.I.P.
