BACALA
Here is the Bacala recipe that someone requested from me today .
Bacala can be bought with or without bones ( I PREFER NO BONES )
3 days before you want to cook the Bacala you will need to cut it into big chunks and SOAK it in a huge container covered in cold water for 3 days ( place in the fridge and change water at least 3 times a day )
drain the Bacala well .
THERE are many ways to prepare it , Here are a few of my favorites .
1. You can just boil it for about 5 minutes( when cooked , Bacala can easily flake with a fork ) , drain it and toss it with some chopped garlic, parsley, black pepper and olive oil .
______________________________________________________________
2. Chop an onion and a clove of garlic and fry w/some olive oil , add a few chopped calamate olives , let cook for 1 minute , add a large can of chopped tomato w/puree and black pepper let cook another 5 minutes , add in the Bacala and cook another 10 minutes ( till Bacala flakes easily with a fork ) . This can be served over a bed of linguine or spaghetti .
_______________________________________________________________
MY favorite way
3. Flour the Bacala, shake excess flour and fry on medium heat for approximately 10 minutes (making sure it cooks through ) Once the Bacala is fried ....slice some hot vinegar peppers(or sweet if you don`t like hot) and fry them in the same fry pan (fry for 5 minutes ) when peppers are cooked , add some vinegar juice from jar that peppers came in ( about 1/4 cup ) and add the Bacala back in the fry pan and toss together and serve .

General Mills Cereals = Less Sugar = Healthier Breakfast
I was given 4 free coupons to try General Mills Cereal through Myblogspark and found this very fascinating ...
General Mills announced a commitment to further reduce sugar in cereals advertised to kids under 12 to single digit grams of sugar per serving. The company has already been reducing sugar in cereals while increasing key nutrients, such as calcium and vitamin D, and providing whole grain . thank you General Mills ! :)
Did you know that ready-to-eat cereal eaters consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters? Cereals also deliver important vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, making cereal a top source of key nutrients in children’s diets. I am glad my kids love cereal.
Other cereal benefits:
Ready-to-eat cereals, including presweetened cereals, account for only 5% of sugar in children’s diets.
Ready-to-eat cereal is the No. 1 source of whole grains in a child’s diet today. This I never new before reading this article from General Mills .
More frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights and lower Body Mass Index measures.
Studies also demonstrate the benefits of eating breakfast. A 1998 study showed that children who eat breakfast tend to perform better at school. Compared to children who skip breakfast, children who eat breakfast score higher on tests, are less likely to miss class or be tardy, have fewer reported discipline problems, and make fewer trips to the office. Our schools always said these very things to us every year. I truly believe in this .
For more information about kids and cereals, please visit Cereal Health and Wellness.
Right now if you visit here you will find a $1 off coupon for one of four General Mills cereals to help your family come together at the breakfast table every morning.
DISCLOSURE : All this information and free cereal coupons were all provided to me by General Mills through MyBlogSpark.
