Authentic Mexican Chili Rellenos

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2011

This is the same recipe I've been using for years. They are delicious. The only thing I do differently, is to NOT rinse the peppers. You loose too much of the flavor of the pepper. The peel comes off easily if you steam them in the bowl after roasting long enough. And I just pull the seeds out with my fingers (if a few are left behind, no big deal) and I pat them inside and out with paper towels. Works great!

Marinated Flank Steak

Reviewed: Aug. 8, 2011

I have to admit I was a little unsure about all of the salt and acid in this marinade, but I tried it . I'm a believer now! This is the best marinade ever! My search is over. I'll be making this one only from now on!

Thanksgiving Leftovers Stuffed Shells

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2010

Was looking for something different to do with the leftovers...this hit the mark. Who ever came up with this is a genius! I halved the amount of mozzarella, putting one cup in the filling and using the other cup for the top. Upped the gravy a bit. It was awesome. Next time, I'm going to add some leftover cranberry sauce to the filling, as we like slightly sweet/savory. This freezes very well too! I made extra for those nights I don't want to cook! Thanks for sharing this!

Ten Minute Enchilada Sauce

Reviewed: Jan. 3, 2010

Okay Folks, let me tell you that this absolutely the best enchilada sauce I've ever made! I have lived here in El Paso for over 20 yrs. This area is known for excellant mexican cuisine, and this recipe is the best of the best! I've spent years, toasting, roasting, soaking and blending all my fresh ingredients, only to obtain a sauce that was good, but far inferior to this one! And it really did only take 10 mins. This is now my secret sauce recipe. (The folks down here would never believe it!) Don't limit this to using for just enchiladas. It would also be great for making Chile Colorado, or add a little bittersweet chocolate for a good Chicken Mole! Very authentic recipe!

Spicy Pickled Okra

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2009

This was so-so. I really love smoked paprika, but it really does not complement the okra. Next time I'll leave it out.

Chai Tea Mix

Reviewed: Jan. 9, 2009

This stuff is amazing! I gave it as Christmas gifts and received several requests for the recipe. I made it according to the recipe and it was perfect! Just the right amount of everything! Better than the "spiced tea" recipe of the 70's!

Fish Tacos

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2008

These are the best of the best. Just awesome. It's the sauce that makes these tacos! I could drink it with a straw! Do make it a bit ahead so the flavors can blend. For ease, I just popped all the sauce ingredients in my magic bullet and let 'er rip. I didn't want to mess up my kitchen with frying the fish, so I purchased "name brand" frozen beer battered filets that you just bake in the oven. They turned out so good, that I doubt I'll ever mess with frying from scratch. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe!

Ropa Vieja

Reviewed: Mar. 24, 2003

I'm giving this 4 on flavor and an extra 1 for ease and simplicity! The flavors are wonderful! Unfortunately I didn't have the dry onion soup mix, just a pkg. of garlic & mushroom, so used that. It was great. Next time I'll make sure I have the onion on hand, just to see if there is a big difference in flavor. I didn't shred mine, just sliced and served with the sauce, along with some bollios to mop up the extra sauce! FANTASTIC!

Fettuccini al Fungi

Reviewed: Feb. 5, 2003

This recipe is fabuloso! Thanks to the other reviewers who found this not creamy enough, I substituted heavy cream for the milk. It was perfectly thick and very creamy! This is one of my top 5 pasta sauce recipes now!
