About this Cook
My favorite family cooking traditions
The day after Thanksgiving my family makes "Bowl of the Wife of Kit Carson Soup" (aka Caldo Tlapeno) with the Turkey carcass. We also do this 1 - 2 days after Christmas because we always make a turkey on Christmas as well. It's another excuse for the family to get together and keep the party/celebration rollin' ~

Mexican Chicken Corn Chowder
Loved this and sooooo easy!! I did a few things different, they are as follows: Didn't use any chicken, used Fat Free Half & Half, used low-sodium chicken broth instead of water & bouillon and used some Fire Roasted Tomatoes w/garlic (drained), didn't use onion..I used "Onion Salt" instead, I also used about 1 cup of cheddar cheese instead of Monterey Jack since that is what I had on hand....with all that being said, this was superb and I will make this again, and my husband really loved it :-)

Best Marinara Sauce Yet
I loved this super easy and tasty sauce. I of course made some minor adjustments, they were as follows: Used 2 cans Diced Tomatoes (1 regular, 1 w/basil, oregano & garlic), only used 2 Tbs. olive oil, added a little extra salt, added a little dried basil & some red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper instead of regular black pepper, added 2 garlic cloves and 1 Tb brown sugar. Did not put in the food processor. Simmered for 30 minutes, adjusted seasoning and simmered a few hours more. I then put about 3/4 of the sauce in the blender, pureed and mixed in with the 1/4 of the chunky sauce. It really tasted so fresh, was easy easy easy and soooo much better then store bought. Thanks for a great recipe :-)

Yia Yia's Tzatziki Sauce
Wow!! Yum Yum Yum!! This was super good, the only changes I made to this was that I added just a touch of fresh mint chopped super fine and a pinch or two of kosher salt!!! This is a keeper and will make again and again. I served this with the "Feta & Olive Meatballs" (recipe from this site) and it was divine!! Thanks for the recipe :-)
