Fried Squid w/ Onions and Tomatoes and Herbs

One of my favorites that I would always love to eat.  We always do this in Sagrada when we were still there.  This time I just made a little twist to it and add more herbs to make it more yummy.  The result is such amazing taste.  Try it for yourself.

Ingredients
4 large squid (insides cleaned)
3 large tomatoes, chopped
2 large onions, chopped
1 tsp basil
1 tsp parsley
salt and pepper to taste

Procedure
Mix all the ingredients except squid in a bowl.
Divide into 4.
Insert the mixture into the squids.
Seal with a toothpick.
Deep fry until cooked. ( Make sure that you don't overcooked since squids tend to get a bit chewy when too much cooked)

The Ever Fudgy Chocolate Carrot Cake w/ Honey Cream Cheese Frosting

 
One excuse to eat chocolate cakes is to add carrots!  My daughters love carrots so everytime I cook something for them, I would always make sure as much as it can possibly done, to add carrots to it.  Carrots.  I am happy that they can get lots of nutrients from eating the carrots.

I was reading an article last night about carrots and I've realized that eating them has so many benefits.  If you are interested in reading this just go to http://carrotmuseum.co.uk/nutrition2.html

Anyways, you can bake this yummy cake anytime you want and get adventurous with your toppings.  You can even get your little ones to help you with it.  Just that I did not ask my girls to help me out or we won't be able to finish decorating because the girls will feast on it.
