Gret and I tried this recipe earlier in the week. I'd give the results a 2 of 5. If you wanted to try this I'd highly recommend using only 6 or 8 of the corn tortillas and make a bit more of the tomatillo sauce because I think the recipe, as described, comes out too [...]
I realized that there were so many blog entries I hadn't written about life at Microsoft. Of all the posts I had in mind I think this has to be the most important since it has to do with free caffine. We all know that Microsoft has those swanky iCup machines from starbucks, but did [...]
I've made this simple recipe a few times now since I spotted it in Cooking Light. It's one of those where you question the "light-ness", but you really don't need a larger serving since it's very filling. The one change I'd recommend to the recipe below is using hot or spicy Italian sausage instead of [...]
This recipe was great but there are couple of things I'd recommend. You only get four servings with what you see below. For all the effort I'd recommend doubling up so you can freeze some or serve a larger crowd. I also think a stew like this could use some starch so some cubed potatoes [...]
Last weekend we made this recipe for corn bread and the accompanying butter spread to go with stew. The corn bread recipe itself seemed a little pedestrian so we kicked it up a notch and made more of a Mexican corn bread by adding real corn kernels and diced jalapeno peppers. I'd give the bread [...]
Last week Gret and I made the Scallops in Champagne Sauce. We served a simple salad on the side. Make sure your skillet is hot enough to brown each side of the scallop so you get the proper texture when making this. This one gets a 4 out of five. The sauce was great. [...]
This is an old family recipe that's always won rave reviews from guests. Best served with saltines, some shredded cheddar, and some corn bread. 3-3.5 lbs lean hamburger 1 medium onion chopped 1 large green pepper 1 32oz can tomatoes sauce 1 16 oz can of diced tomatoes (with green chili's) 1 16 oz can [...]
Got this from the Rachael Ray 30-minute meal book. The basic recipe is simple and easy, almost too easy. So I'd recommend adding some chicken or sausage chunks. Gret and I have also learned that (out of necessity) raspberry vodka will work as well. 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, once around the pan in a [...]
Mudslide Cookies When the cookies are done, they'll be cracked on top and still moist in the center… Source: Mudslide Cookies Recipe – Chocolate – Cooking Light Not really worth doing again because the time/taste ratio was unfavorable. But I had been asked about the recipe.
For Christmas Gretchen got me a subscription to cooking light magazine to help inspire some fun meals. Our goal is to pick two recipes each month to try out. Last night we gave this one a try. I agree with the 5 of 5 star user ratings. This was totally easy. Slice open tenderloin roll, [...]
