Tequila with Orange Wedge and Freshly Ground Cinnamon

My friend Dani is visiting from Mexico and he introduced us to a delicious alternative for doing tequila** shots.  Take an orange wedge and sprinkle some freshly ground cinnamon onto the wedge.  Pour yourself and some friends shots of chilled anejo or reposada tequila, take the shot and then eat the wedge of orange.

Buen Provecho!

**FoodNoteworthy - Look for 100% Agave.  100% is made only from the Agave plant while others are distilled with other ingredients.  Another recommendation from Dani.  Thanks Dani.

Breakfast Shake...

I very rarely, actually never, write about breakfast foods. Breakfast is not really my favorite meal of the day. When I go out to eat in the morning I usually get a cup of soup and a BLT. Recently, however, I started drinking a healthy breakfast shake in the morning. One banana, four fresh strawberries, two spoonfulls of plain yogurt, one heaping scoop of vanilla flavored protein and about a cup of milk all go into a big glass. With a hand blender (one of my favorite kitchen tools) I blend the drink and sit with my morning papers sipping a healthy breakfast treat.
