She's 1/4 Mexican...

Let me say right off the bat, Malia ate everything on her plate. This isn't necessarily proof that I'm a great cook. After all, she is just a baby. Have you ever tasted the puree peas in a jar?

Here's the lineup. Batting first is a hearty helping of home-made Spanish Rice. I didn't make a whole batch just for her. This is actually leftover rice from Mama and Dada's build-your-own tacos.

Second up is some home-heated up, canned pinto beans. Canned pinto beans are sooooo much easier and less time consuming than the home-made version. They are still a little time consuming because I have to cut each individual bean in half with some kid scissors we bought at Target.

In the hole... home-made quesadilla. This one is super simple to make. Pan on Medium. Tortilla, cheese, fold, flip... done. Of course, I also have a little more work to do there. I'm required by my wife to cut the quesadilla into 1/2 cm. x 1/2 cm. bite-size morsels. Fortunately, I'm a pro with the knife, drawing on my extensive experience in Veg-Prep on board the USS California (shout out to Addis, Shun & Jason).

Honestly, this is a pretty simple meal to prepare... and Malia absolutely loves it. Again, not a testament to my cooking ability. I just think that she feels the whole Mexican food experience is fun.

BTW, the drink container does not contain a Margarita. It is just water. She's a lot like me as far as the way she looks and acts but she's not addicted to Margaritas yet.
