Apple Bread Pudding
When you first hear the name, Bread Pudding, may not sound too interesting. However, its a really tasty, rich dessert that's hard to turn down once you’ve tried it. Traditional bread puddings contain egg yolks and so a lot of fat; but this recipe relies on the whites and adds apple for extra flavor.
Ingredients
10 Slices of Bread
½ Cup Butter
¼ Cup Applesauce
1 Cup Zero Calorie Sweetener
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1 Medium Apple, diced
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Avocado Shake
Despite its origin in Central and North America (Mexico), there are some records that occurred an important penetration of cultivation and consumption in colonial Brazil, being culturally absorbed: this fruit is known in practically all regions of the country.
However, perhaps something more original is the fact of being part of the Brazilian food as "dessert" or any genre always linked to candy etc, and will rarely be consumed as salty food or similars.
Then I present a recipe of Avocado Shake, very well known here in Brazil, and I hope it is very tasty for you.
Have a good time (and drink, for sure)!
Ingredients
<> 1 cup milk
<> Crushed ice 3/4 cup
<> Blender
Optional:
<> 1/4 cup sugar
Directions
<> Cut the avocado using a knife or a spoon to scoop the fruit into the blender.
The insides should be green, and perhaps vaguely yellow--but not brown. Slice away any brown bits and leave them out of your shake. Discard the lumpy skin on the outside and the hard pit in the center.
2) Blend the ingredients until the mixture is no longer chunky.
<> This may take anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes. Keep an eye on the shake while it is blending. You may need to hold the lid down to keep it from jostling loose.
<> Keep checking the consistency until it is done. With the blender off, use a spoon to stir the mixture and check for lumpy bits. If you find any large chunks of avocado or ice, replace the lid and blend for another 10-15 seconds.
<> If it is your first time making an avocado shake - and even if it is not - sample the mixture as you go. Feel free to change the recipe to meet your tastes: add more milk for a thinner shake; more avocado, ice; more sugar or sweetener for a sweeter shake. As you interact with the recipe and consider what you like, you will get better and better at making avocado shakes.
3) Drink and enjoy!
Notes
<> You can compost or discard the skin, the pit, and any other avocado bits that you do not want to save.
<> Any type of sugar is fine: brown, white, granulated, etc. Avocados can be bitter, but sugar will mitigate any hint of bitterness.
But...
If you are on a no - or low - sugar diet, feel free to forego the sugar and let the natural richness of the avocado shine.
Consider using natural sweeteners like honey and agave nectar. These ingredients will keep your shake sweet without exposing you to processed, industrially-refined sugar. Add natural sweeteners to taste; as a rule of thumb, start with the same amount of sweetener that is listed in the recipe, and work up or down from there.
<> Here in Brazil, we like to mix with many other fruits, such as bananas, coconut milk etc... Try something different as well!

Smothered Chicken with Creamed Spinach, Bacon, Mushrooms
I cooked this tonight! It was delightful! I use lots of online recipe sites to keep food from being boring. I do tweak most and add my own touches. I'm fortunate to be able to cook for my father, mother and mother 2 (a woman who has been like a mother to me) every Sunday and Wednesday. I promised them those days!
Ingredients
Chicken:
1 tablespoon butter
Any chicken pieces you like best or have on hand (smile)
salt
lemon pepper seasoning
paprika
Creamed spinach:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
10 oz fresh spinach
4 garlic cloves, minced
2/3 cup half and half
2/3 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 small onion chopped
Other Ingredients:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 oz mushrooms, sliced
4 slices bacon, cooked, chopped
4 slices of Pepper Jack cheese (Monterey Jack Cheese with Jalapenos)
Directions
Butter the bottom of the baking dish or spray your favorite oil or butter spray.(I used a 9X13 pan)
Generously season chicken on both sides with salt, lemon pepper seasoning and a small amount of paprika.
Place the chicken into the greased baking dish and bake for 25 minutes at 375 F.
In the mean time, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add spinach and cook for only 1 or 2 minutes, covered, until the spinach is thoroughly heated through and start to wilt. Remove from heat.
Add minced garlic and half and half. Bring to boil. Add shredded mozzarella cheese and keep stirring, on high heat, until mozzarella cheese starts to melt - about 30 seconds. Reduce heat to simmer and keep stirring until you have a nice, smooth creamed spinach - about 30 seconds or 1 more minute.
Season with salt to your taste. Remove from heat.
In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add sliced mushrooms and cook on high-medium heat for 1-2 minutes until mushroom caramelize. Do not salt mushrooms or it will prevent the caramelization.
Remove the chicken from the oven. Top each chicken breast with the creamed spinach, chopped cooked bacon, cooked mushrooms and broken slices of pepper jack cheese.
Bake in the oven, uncovered for 25 more minutes, until chicken is cooked through, no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear.
Notes
I had a Monterey Jack/Cheddar mix and sprinkled it on top of the spinach mixture I also added finely chopped onions as I love onion and garlic in most of my recipes for flavor.
