Ok, we can't give up on this yet we just got started and with summer just around the way I am optimistic about all of the fresh produce and grill outs we will be sharing. So I will fill you in on what I have made recently.
Best thing in the past couple of weeks was the broccoli slaw -I was the only one that ate it but since I am the writer here it was my favorite dish. Shredded fresh broccoli, dry cranberries, toasted almonds, shredded carrots and a sweet tangy dressing with mayo, lime juice, sugar, tobasco sauce, lawreys salt and lots of black pepper -Yum! Yes I said lawreys seasoned salt -ala Michelle -I dont know why but lately I have been loving it -especially on popcorn!
I made green chile chicken enchiladas -I typically buy a premade enchilada sauce and they usually suck. So this time I bought frozen roasted green chiles, pureed them with garlic, onion, and some of the liquid I cooked the chicken in. Then the usual, roll the chicken in the tortilla, smother with sauce and cheese and then bake.
And finally the hidden gem -I made croque madams and I couldnt believe how much Jon and Tony liked them, they were licking the plate. I didn't want fast food, I was too lazy to go to the store on Friday night and we were low on groceries. So I got creative... toasted bread topped with sliced ham and cheese, covered with a bechamel and topped with a fried egg. I served some broccoli on the side which was great fro scraping up the extra sauce and cheese and voila -fast simple and satisfying!
Ok, now your turn to catch me up on what you've been cooking lately.
