CHOCOLATE CHEESE TURNOVERS A #SundaySupper With the Kids

 I love cooking with my daughters and this week at #SundaySupper we are encouraging children to enter the kitchen.
 It is very important for them to stay tuned for all the steps followed before sitting on the table at dinner time.
 For this reason we want them to learn a lot more and get involved every day to elaborate easy and delicious dishes.
 The more time you spend helping a child in the kitchen they will want to try more things, new vegetables, meats and even the most unusual meals that you can imagine.
 Let your kids come into this wonderful world full of flavor, fun and learning and you will be helping them to expand the knowledge and palate.
 Children are very curious and we must not leave them behind in anything, help them and teach them that food is as healthy delicious and fun that is.
 This is one of the favorite recipes of my daughter, the only thing the she does not do is put these turnovers in the oven, because it still scares me a little, for the rest, she is quite a teacher, and what she loves most is lick her fingers filled with chocolate and cream cheese.
 Hope you like and try to make these turnovers with your children.

INGREDIENTS
  • 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
  • Juice of half lemon

A TASTE OF LITTLE ITALY IN SAN DIEGO


In the heart of the finest city in America is a piece of Italy, full of exotic flavors, unique in its class.
On Wednesday June 20th, took place The Taste Of Little Italy, with the best in dining, entertainment and a great atmosphere.
Around 30 restaurants opened their doors so you could taste the variety that every day serve their customers with great pride and passion.
In Little Italy we find a variety of flavors, we ate pizza and pasta, very tasty indeed, but also we took a small detour in South America, we find an amazing Argentinian restaurant (Puerto la Boca) with the best beef and chimichurri we tested, also the most delicious ceviche we tasted in the Peruvian restaurant (Indigo Grill).
The fusion food, frozen yogurt, coffee shops, also were present, the most prestigious Italian restaurants, proving once again that this is one of the best streets to awaken your palate to the most incredible meals. Seeing how night approached, I ran with incredible characters, markets and butcher shops that can not fail to be absent from this beautiful place.
I invite you to come to San Diego and visit the not so small Litlle Italy, full of variety, kindness, warmth and good food served with great pleasure day by day.
