Here's a recipe you can start with. . . .
1 bunch Cilantro
1 bunch recao
1 head of garlic
3 large onions
1 lb. ajíes dulces
2 cubanese peppers or 2 large bell peppers
½ cup olives with pimientos
1 sm jar roasted red peppers
1 tbsp. cappers
2 tbsp. crushed oregano
1 tbsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. cheyenne pepper (optional)
1 cup EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
Prepare the ingredients - peel, wash, seed and coarsely chop, what needs to be and just dump it all in the blender or food processor, in batches. Dump in a bowl and mix well. Freeze in ice-cube trays, then dump in a double freezer bag. That's all!
* Note that thyme, rosemary, celery and tomato or tomato sauce are not a traditional ingredient in sofrito. Tomatoes might be called for in a recipe but are a separate ingredient. I always have canned Italian Style tomatoes to use in rice and beans.
You might not find all the ingredients, just use what you have, onions, garlic, and bell pepper are a must. Even though this recipe includes olives and capers I always add whole olives and capers to the dish.
Enjoy!

Arroz Con Gandules
2 cups short grain rice (rinsed) - long grain will work too
4-5 cups of hot water - appx.
½ cup ready made sofrito
16 ounce can of gandules (cooked green pigeon peas)
2 tablespoons of alcaparrado (cappers and olives mixed together)
1 packet of Sazon with achiote
1 can tomato sauce
3 tablespoons of oil
Salt & pepper to taste
In a medium size caldero add the oil, tomato sauce, alcaparrado, sofrito and sazon. Cook over medium heat for 4 minutes. Add all other ingredients, and enough water to cover the rice 1" above the rice line. Start with 1 teaspoon of salt stir and keep adding and mixing well until you are satisfied with the taste. Bring to a boil and cook over high heat until most of the water is absorbed. Once the water has been absorbed, stir gently from bottom to top - once or twice only, cover and turn the heat down to low. Cook for 30 minutes or until the rice is tender.
Stirring the rice after it has begun cooking may cause it go get sticky or "amogollao."
Any rice that sticks to the bottom of the pot is called "pegao" and is crispy and tasty and a favorite of all true Puerto Ricans. However, not everyone is skilled is making pegao - it is an art. To make great pegao make sure to use plenty of oil. Cook for about 10 minutes longer so the pegao gets crispy and keep your eye on it. Each time you cook rice - check to see how long it takes to make pegao just the way your family likes it. Finally - if you want a lot of pegao - use a bigger caldero which, of course, will have a larger bottom surface.

"We Gather Together"
We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing;
He chastens and hastens his will to make known;
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing,
Sing praises to his name: He forgets not his own.
Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining his kingdom divine;
So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, wast at our side, All glory be thine!
We all do extol thee, thou leader triumphant,
And pray that thou still our defender wilt be.
Let thy congregation escape tribulation;
Thy name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!
Amen-
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
A Thanksgiving Poem.
The tear another's tears bring forth,
The sigh which answers sigh,
The pulse that beats at others woes,
E'en though our own be nigh,
A balm to bathe the wounded heart
Where sorrow's hand hath lain,
The link divine from soul to soul
That makes us one in pain,
Sweet sympathy, benignant ray,
Light of the soul doth shine;
In it is human nature giving
A touch of the divine.
He chastens and hastens his will to make known;

THE BEST Chocolate Cake EVER
1 box devil’s food cake mix
1 package Jello instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup sour cream
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups mini semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a VERY large bowl (4 qt), mix together everything except chocolate chips. Batter will be thick. Stir in the chocolate chips. Pour batter into cake pan of choice (I normally use two 9-inch pie pans). For cooking time, I use the cooking times on the back of the devil’s food cake box as a guide and usually add 10 mins to whatever it says. Then I do the toothpick check, and if it’s not done, I check on it every 5 mins after that. :) It usually takes around 45 mins for two, 9-inch pie pans.
Buttercream Frosting
1 cup shortening (crisco)
4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
In a mixing bowl, cream shortening until fluffy. Add sugar and continue creaming until well blended. Add salt, vanilla, and whipping cream. Blend on low speed until moistened. Beat at high speed until frosting is fluffy.

Cherry Crisp
* 6 c pitted cherries (I use frozen)
* 1 T cornstarch
* 2 T sugar
* 1/2 c flour
* 1/2 c oats
* 1/3 c sliced almonds
* 1 c brown sugar
* 1/4 tsp salt
* 1 tsp cinnamon
* 1/3 c butter
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Toss the cherries with cornstarch and sugar in a baking dish (you can use any size, a smaller one will give you a thicker topping - I use 9 x 13 inch).
Mix remaining dry ingredients in a small bowl, and add butter using your fingers to make coarse crumbs (I like to press some of the topping into larger clumps).
Bake for 45 - 55 minutes, until crumble is golden brown, and filling is thick and bubbling over the topping.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 cups chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray cookie sheets with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.
Using a mixer, beat the butter until smooth. Beat in the white and brown sugars, a little at a time, until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time, then mix in the vanilla and pumpkin puree. It’ll look really funky at this point but have faith.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Slowly beat the flour mixture into the batter in thirds. Stir in the chips. Scoop the cookie dough by heaping tablespoons onto the prepared cookie sheets and bake for 15 to 20 minutes (17 minutes works about perfectly for me), or until the cookies are browned around the edges. Remove the cookie sheets from the oven and let them rest for two minutes. Take the cookies off with a spatula and cool them on wire racks

Heard a Song and got inspire
Before I go into writing what I'm about to say I cant forget how you always said no one would want me There is many times you made me cry and now I can't shed a tear anymore because I believed in you and I wouldn't think the person I love would ever say something crazy like that to me because I know I'm a good women but I want to say thank you because the pain you made me go through only made me stronger and I want to thank you for this It was a living hell but I'm glad I went through all this pain because I'm a superwomen now thanks to you and I want girls out there to know its hard to be with someone that puts you down but you could overcome anything you want to do in this life I know its hard to end something you think is perfect but we have to go inside our core and rip it out ourselves and be brave I wouldn't think no one would want me or ask myself is it me or what the hell is wrong with me but I know now its wasn't me its was that person feeling like crap about themselves and was trying to make me feel like a pea... I wonder why this person said this... I could only wonder and question myself over and over. But the past is the past.

It's been a While..updating you guys
Well I haven't write in a while a lot of things has been happening.. First of all I lost my job on Aug 31 Well that's makes my living situation a bit harder. I put that behind me now. I'm trying to move forward looking for something to learn new. I want to be helpful with people. I was thinking do something in the medical field I live in FL and here everything has to do with some medical field. I been thinking to myself on how things should be now. I have done everything I can to be the best girlfriend and new mommy which that is the most hardest thing so far. I'm a strong person I hope it all works out for the best. I'm very ambition and I want to be something important in this this time I'm here in earth. I just want to first thank y'all for stopping by I do write of things and try to express myself the best I can. Also taking my peeps issues and turning them into writing because that's what makes us stronger as a human-being. I know I'm home and resting now and quite honestly I'm happy needed that. Time for me. I have AMO in daycare still. Jahrell is in 1st grade and he is doing well. At times he slips up but he is a 7 yr old kid learning new things. No harm in that at all. I had to get some help from so blessed people and I want to thank them and the lord above...

On this day of your life, Stephanie, we believe God wants you to know...
... that happiness has nothing to do with pleasure.
You feel pleasure when you want something and you get it. Or when you don't want something and you remove it. Pleasure is always relative. Happiness is absolute. Happiness is the understanding and acceptance of life as it is in this very moment as completely perfect, because every creation of God is perfect. The degree to which you do not accept life in all of the Divine forms is the degree to which you suffer.
Wow these are some tru words from the god above thank you lord...

Freewriting
I know we have been through so much and known each other for a while and I don’t understand why we didn’t try out our love to see if it would of took it to another level but I’m willing to try even though I have to hide my true inner feeling I know that with my love I could break down barriers that no one knows how much power I have in this body and soul of mines not to many understand the person I’m but that’s OK because they will never be inside this bubble of mines called “My Life” I have so much to offer to you baby. I know I have someone in my life and I have a feeling it might not last for years for the reason I have that six sense! LOL Now I have a child and that’s the biggest gift god could’ve giving me. I have a lust for life and I would love to share it with someone I could call that perfect “Man”. I just want you to know that you have been a great friends and a secret lover as well because we have tried and it never happens. Why because it’s not the perfect time right so don’t be upset god knows why it’s not the time. I’m writing this like I’m pouring my heart in a paper lately I been waiting to disappear because my own partner doesn’t even understands me!

So I feed Amo and then my hubby woke up and asked me where was I going and I replied, I'm going to go for a power walk I need to start walking I had a baby 3 months ago and Its time to get back in shape. I can't fit in any of my old jeans. Its time to get this back on track. So i got lil Amo ready and myself. My hubby got ready as well.

First Time Amo Giggle
I was getting him ready to go out to check out this school so I could get my Massage business up here now that i live in fl. So I was putting him some sunblock and all of sudden he started laughing so hard and he is 2 months and 3 weeks and it was the cutest moment and I was so happy I saw it first. I called his dad to let him know Amo just laugh so hard and he said that was cool. Then i called my mother to let her know as well. I was trying to get it on camera and he didn't want to do it anymore. I guess that's how baby's do it you have to be there at the spare of the moment.. Love you papi 6-12-09
