Why hobbit food you ask?

Have you ever wondered what hobbits eat? This question never occurred to us until one Sunday night where we used left over boiled, mashed up tubers to cover a hard boiled egg. We took this concept from a Guyanese dish known as Egg Ball. Which really is a hard boiled egg covered in a single root called cassava. After we fried up these tuber balls and were sitting down to devour them Tony said, "Sara, you cook like a hobbit and it's awesome" which then turned these tuber balls into hobbit balls. This also got us thinking, "what else have we cooked that's been inspired through the use of local ingredients and cuisine?" From this our blog was born. But if you're actually looking for foods that hobbits eat you won't find them here. But we do hope you enjoy our creations!

Guy-Nachos

Yes, more Mexican food. Its oozy, cheesy, refried- beany goodness. And as mentioned in the last recipe, Mexican food is one of god’s gifts. So, really, if it’s possible, it should be eaten at least once or twice a week like a church service, you know? My favorite part of this whole recipe is that its all baked! So there are plenty of ingredients on every bite!

Tortilla chips
Refried beans
Cheese
Did I mention cheese?
Tomatoes
Salsa
(Corn)

Make the refried beans, or just buy a can. Grate the cheese (as much as you think you’ll use). Cut up the tomatoes, open the can of corn. Make your salsa.

On a baking sheet (or as we do it in Guyana in a frying pan, sitting on a tawa and topped by a tawa (see enchaladas)) place chips and top with Cheese and Refried beans. (It is also possible if you have a baking sheet to top every chip with some cheese and beans)

Bake for about 10 minutes. Until cheese is melted.

Top with tomatoes and salsa. (you can add other stuff too if you got it like sour cream, guacamole, etc.)
