This is not a week to be “Chicken” – instead be bold and head to King Smokehouse for an incredible sale on Felix’s organic ground Chicken. Sounds great? You betcha it does and to help you with an idea we offer you one of our kitchen tested recipes to help you enjoy this special chicken:
Here’s the easy recipe: 2 pounds of King Smokehouse Ground Chicken; 1 cup of your favorite salsa; 2 Tbsp olive oil; 1 tsp smoked paprika; 3/4 tsp roasted ground cumin; 1/2 tsp ground chipotle pepper; 1/4 tsp salt; 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (Great cheese waiting for you at the Smokehouse). Mix together in large bowl, form in loaf and place in baking dish or casserole. Bake at 400 degrees F for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 mins or until done. Spread additional salsa on top of loaf before baking (this helps keep it super moist); top with additional shredded cheese during the last 10 mins of cooking, if desired. No breadcrumbs or eggs necessary.
Is that all there is at King Smokehouse? Oh lordy no!!!!! There is Bacon, Sausage, Bacon, Bits, Sauerkraut (lots in stock NOW!), Ham (sliced and whole), Ribs, Pulled Pork, Cheese, Mixes and the list goes on. Stop by and check out all the finest of gourmet products offered at your King Smokehouse. So easy to find just across from Parque San Sebastian.

What does Hogar de Esperanza do with your donations of clothing and household items? First and foremost, we give them away to those who are most in need of them. Great care is taken to make sure that they get exactly what they need. Any extra items are sold in Esperanza Thrift Shop, where all of the proceeds go back into directly supporting the foundation’s work of helping those in need.
Are you moving soon – perhaps across town or maybe even back home – and you have items that you can’t take with you? Do you wish you had someone to come carry away those items remaining after your moving sale, that you don’t know what to do with? Were you just spring-cleaning last week, and came across clothes in your closets that you no longer wanted? If you would like to do some incredible things with those items you no longer need or want, let us turn them into something valuable to help those in need.
We accept anything that you wish to donate, and put it to immediate use. You can come by the thrift shop, which is located at 8-28 Juan Montalvo y Mariscal Sucre, to drop off items Monday through Friday from 9 AM – 5:30 PM. We also do pick-ups of donations, so feel free to contact us to arrange a time. Thank you so much for your support of Hogar de Esperanza – we could not do any of this without you.

As President of Hearts of Gold, I wanted to be sure that ALL those who helped make our High Tea such a success get the credit they deserve. The funds raised all go to support Hearts’ All Children Deserve to Dream program that focuses on empowering and supporting children and adolescents in vulnerable situations.
First, I want to thank Vanessa Watts, Associate and Melina Lopez, Owner of Kolo Restaurant for donating the use of their restaurant with all their table settings and all their help. Also, to our Hearts’ staff, Executive Director, Maria Jose Orellana, Alex Riofrio, Accounting Director and Cari Serrano, Community Development Director who always do whatever needs to be done.
Our volunteers provided mini sandwiches and canapes, teapot-shaped cookies, cupcakes, brownies, cream puffs, chocolate eclairs with, of course, tea, for a fabulous luncheon, and our bartender also served wine, beer or a champagne cocktail.
We had wonderful, donated raffle prizes (a gorgeous hat, art pieces and a Wedgewood teapot and cups) as well as beautiful flower centerpieces for guests to take home. And then more wonderful volunteers to clean up after waitressing all afternoon.
In addition to Heart’s staff and all the volunteers, Frances Hogg wants to send a special thank you to Tarek Ben Miled who transported her and all her supplies in the middle of the torrential rain storm and to Kris Fischer who provided the lemons for tea and drinks.
And finally, a special thank you to Frances Hogg who is Hearts’ Event Chair and does all the organizing, coordinating and donating of everything from champagne to tea to desserts to signs to a fun table game to anything else needed to make this all work.
From my heart to all of you who truly have Hearts of Gold – Thank you!
