Albuquerque, New Mexico

In Albuquerque, red and green chile sauce reign supreme, topping everything from enchiladas and burritos to huevos rancheros and even burgers. A sauce's bite is not determined by the color of the chile, as often believed, but by the particular variety of the fruit, and when it was grown. When ordering food in Albuquerque, it’s wise to ask the waiter which color sauce is hotter that day to suit your tastes. Or, just order your dish "Christmas-style," so it comes with both. Said to have originated in Albuquerque, sopaipillas are often served alongside spicy meals. When these fried doughy treats are dipped in honey, they help soothe a burning tongue.

A Good Easy Garlic Chicken

Reviewed on Nov. 10, 2009 by JLANAM

Wow! This was great! Usually when I saute chicken I get dry and rubbery, but this really DID come out very moist and tender (and quickly)! For the reviewer who said to use fresh onion and garlic to make the seasoned salt the only salt in the recipe, it IS! Garlic powder and onion powder don't have salt in them. I might cut down a little on the seasoned salt next time, especially if I use prepared chicken broth after I saute it. Homemade (non-salted) broth would be great, and then I added cornstarch and mushrooms and made a sauce. GREAT!

Coconut Muffins

Reviewed on Nov. 11, 2009 by valleybo

I made these this morning. The only thing I changed was applesauce instead of vegetable oil and no butter in the topping. The taste was fine, though a little more coconut extract wouldn't hurt. I was not impressed with the biscuit like muffin. I like my muffins airy. The topping was a great idea however, and I will use that if I ever find a recipe for lighter muffins.
