Hi Kids,
Congratulations on today´s festivities...all of you performed or danced really well!  And the "Calaveritas" in English were excellent.

My contribution to BF´s Radio program while you have your lunch is...guess what.....????
THE IMPORTANCE OF NUTRITION!!!!!!!
I am positively sure that many of you eat,  at least,  one balanced meal every day.   However, many do not have a good breakfast and THAT IS a PROBLEM.

If you don´t know, OATS is Avena in Spanish. The genus Avena of the grass family, Gramineae. The scientific name of the common oat is Avena sativa .  "A grain which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland supports the people" -- this is the definition of oats given in the dictionary written in the 18th century by Dr. Samuel Johnson.  "True enough," was a Scotsman´s reply, "and where will you find such fine horses as in England, or such fine men as in Scotland?"

First let me give you the HOTCAKES recipe which you, yourselves can make at home, then freeze...and have for breakfast or bring for lunch any time of the week.  Ingredients are:

1  90gm butter bar Gloria brand without salt or your favorite brand
1  cup of wheat flour (preferably Harina de Trigo INTEGRAL 3 Estrellas)
1 to 1.5 cup of whole Oats ( Avena )
1  cup Amaranto
1/2 to 1 cup Germen de Trigo
Sugar to your liking
Small quantity of milk  or  fruit juice any flavour, or even water
1 squirt of vanilla (chorrito)
1 medium sized apple (red or yellow, sliced very fine)
Raisins, cranberries or blueberries, any nuts, semillas de linaza and/or sesame seeds are OPTIONAL

Procedure:  First, melt the butter and immediately add the Oats and the rest of the dry ingredients and then the liquids.  Then blend the rest of the ingredients.  If you need more liquid just add it little by little until you
see that it is pourable.  Heat your pan first and start making your Hot-cakes...the size and form is up to you...let them cool and then freeze.  If you do them on the weekend, you will be ready to start a good week anywhere!  Bon Apetit! (that is Buen apetito or provecho in french, but the English took it from the french)

Later I´ll give you links to places where you can find other recipes which you can choose from.
