Today I bring you an easy recipe of stalks stuffed with ham and cheese with Biscay sauce, a recipe to give you the Welcome to autumn as it deserves.

When I was little I loved it when we came back home to eat. We left school and had good luck because we gathered at noon to eat at home. MY Aunt baby, (Yes, that of the onion tart), we collected. Halfway we stopped to buy bread and the whiff of freshly baked bread we got through the nose and we went crazy.

My aunt bought us peaks, those long and fat, which we gave out all (we were a gang of cousins that we were going to the same school) and so happy and with the open stomach we arrived home. The smell of the landing, before going home, we already knew what you eat, and when we olíamos the biscayan sauce, entered like crazy to the bathroom to wash our hands and put the table all run to start eating these leaves stuffed with ham and cheese with a biscayan sauce . Then my mother bought the chard, cleaning them and baking. They had a lot of work, but they were delicious.

And I guess that our faces of happiness to eat each day was what pushed him to point us in the dining room of the school, to get into the kitchen in the evenings when he reached work, to prepare those meals so rich so much meaning in my life. And I never gave him thanks! because they are things that we assume that all mothers do.

Then you grow up and realize the amount of sacrifices that our mothers have done for us, work and carry the House with large family. I still look at it and I admire with all my soul and I feel the importance of all those sacrifices in our traditional cuisine has endured.

And I me effort at home in these recipes eating small. I love to see how history repeats itself and my son also likes almost the same things that I liked to me, and although he eats at school, takes the food from home and is enjoying much of it.

But there are things that have changed and that while we cook at home today there are many things that help us to simplify. So I this recipe do the same, with the same rich sauce, but with half and work. And instead of cleaning and cooking the beets, I use Gvtarra, (a brand that has always been at home but my mother used more as canned asparagus and red peppers, and that I've expanded when it comes to cooking). So I just have to open the pot, put my hands to work and in half an hour I have a dish on the table with you all suck fingers. Would you like? Then go for this easy recipe of stalks stuffed with ham and cheese with a biscayan sauce.
