I have no clue what all is in it.....it was made in Mexico so it must be made with the real stuff.One of our Mexican friends wife made it. I know there are raisins,nuts,coconut and candy sprinkles in it,oh and of course some kind of bread....little round slices of bread.That must be why they only make it this time of year....for Lent.I'm not Catholic but I sure like this stuff! LOL! Patti...it does look sort of gross but oh my!It's good!

We are building now, but when we were remodeling our current home we had no kitchen for 6 months. Remodeling was a must as we had just remodeled and just finished our wood floors , we were at home improvement store getting floor grates when ds called shrieking saying the washer pipe had burst and it was flooding everything. Rushed home, everything downstairs wet with massive amounts of water. I was heartsick and devastated. We had been remodeling for about 4 months. Ok, you think thats bad, I was going to hosp. in 2 days to have 11th child by c-section. I was distraught. Insurance adjusters came next day, with large indutsrial fans in tow, and started ripping everything out, floor, carpet, new wainscot, baseboard, appliances etc. Everyone had to live upstairs, which was 2 bathrooms, master bedroom, small family area. Kitchen, the only usable downstairs room, was torn apart, our frig was on back patio. No stove, no nothing except sink and counters. Thats how I came home with new baby. I was just a little hormonal. I cooked in that kitchen for 6 months, May-Dec. Prepared just about anything you could think of with the counter top appliances. Made Thanksgiving dinner with a large roaster (did you know you can make wonderful pies in those things), crockpot, micro, electric skillet and 2 burner portable cook type thing. I definitely couldn't feed my children fast food for that long & really had to maintain some sort of normalcy for them. Am not saying I would do it again, but boy I still appreciate my new kitchen and its been 3 years.

I eat a breakfast-type breakfast every morning, and have all my life. Other than cold leftover pizza in college, that is. For the majority of my life though, there is no way I could or would eat leftovers from the night before, etc. My DH is a family practice doc and he’s very into healthful eating. I agree, having been in the healthcare field myself for many years, but I absolutely refuse to eat food that’s “good for me” but tastes boring or ugh! Thank goodness we both love to cook and experiment with recipes, as I can honestly say that we eat delicious breakfasts every day of the week.

Oh so tempting. It sounds delicious and looks it. I liked her suggestion to add thinly sliced prosciutto too. Ah - The Frog. We both came to Philly the same time and it was a special treat to have dinner there. We still have the cookbook and some of the recipes have become favorites - pan roasted brussels sprouts with bacon and carrot cake. Thanks for posting this - local peaches are filling the farm stands so now would be a great time to give it a try. Maybe for Sunday brunch this weekend when the kids come over.
