In my most recent batch of these muffins, I added shredded coconut to half of them. The ones with coconut were everyone’s favorites. They remind me of macadamia nut pancakes with coconut syrup and leave me daydreaming of Hawaii.
The tortilla espaƱola is similar to a frittata and nothing like the tortillas used in Mexican food. Tortillas de patatas, filled with thinly sliced potatoes, are one of the most popular kinds of tortilla that you will find but you can also add the veggies and meats of your choice.

This colorful salad of tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and basil has become one of the iconic foods of Italian cuisine and is a staple in Italy and in Italian restaurants around the world. It is simple to make and the perfect light starter to many meals.
This layered bean dip is always a crowd-pleaser at parties. At its most basic it is a 5-layer dip but it can easily become a 7-layer dip if you add multiple toppings with the cheese.

Mix and match yogurt, fresh and frozen fruits and fruit juices to make a quick and nutritious breakfast or snack. Each morning our smoothie turns out a little different depending on what ingredients we have.
Pumpkin seeds are a perfect healthy snack. They are also great for baking. It’s simple and easy to roast your own and then you can control the amount of sodium in them! So next time you are carving Jack-o-lanterns or have pumpkin or squash around the house, don’t throw out the seeds!
Smoothies are similar to milkshakes so most kids love them. (My son does!) This smoothie is loaded with antioxidants and makes a refreshing and nutritious breakfast or snack.
