Chili Rellenos Meal

We have all ordered Chili Rellenos at a Mexican Restaurant. You know, the poblano peppers, stuffed with a cheese mixture, dipped in a batter and deep fried. Heavenly, and now let’s make them at home. I got the recipe at a Teacher’s Workshop at the Art Institute of Houston. The recipe was all in ounces. Of course, all culinary students weigh everything. Never fear all you cooks who do not own a scale, I have converted it for you. I am also including what I serve it with: Mexican Rice and (no, not beans) Oven Roasted Okra seasoned with chili powder and cumin. It’s a great combination and even though the Chili Rellenos require a little work, they are well worth it. Enjoy!

Scalloped Potatoes

Scalloped Potatoes have always been one of my favorites but I rarely made them because they were so labor intensive. But this recipe is relatively easy compared to making a sauce for other versions. Caramelizing onions takes a while but can be done early while working in the kitchen. A bunch can be cooked and stored in the freezer for a variety of uses.

There is no sauce to make in this recipe. The heavy cream and Parmesan cheese will make its own sauce while the potatoes cook. The result is creamy potato slices with a flavorful cream sauce. You must try this recipe. Enjoy!

    Squash Ribbons

    Summer squash is coming in now so if you have a garden, you have plenty and are looking for different ways to cook it.

    • Peel squash to the core
    • 5 cups of peel squash is needed
    • Peel until you see the seeds and core. This is where you get most of the moisture in squash dishes

    Thanksgiving Menu- Decadent Mashed Potatoes and Green Bean Au Gratin

    We made Decadent Mashed Potatoes very often at Sweets & Eats. Mainly because they never seized up and got hard. That is a boon if you want to make them ahead of time for a Take and Bake or make them the day before for a busy meal. It is full of calories with cream cheese, sour cream, butter and everything you dream about! But it’s Thanksgiving, so go ahead, splurge and enjoy!

    As you know, I am not a fan of canned soups.  So Green Bean Casserole is not a highlight of our Thanksgiving meal.  Then I found the recipe for Green Beans Au Gratin.  It is the perfect substitute with a creamy, cheese sauce and it can be topped with canned onion rings if you wish.  Yes, it is a little more trouble but it is worth it,  Enjoy!
