A couple months back, I received an email that gently pointed out to me that there was not a chicken enchiladas recipe to be found anywhere on my site. Sacrilege! I was utterly mortified and sought to remedy this egregious oversight post haste! (“Post haste” in this instance evidently means more like what “post haste” meant back in the days of the Pony Express, ie a couple months.)
Enchiladas verdes was the recipe in particular that was desired — that Tex-Mex favorite, with a fresh tomatillo sauce and shredded chicken filling, topped with melted white cheese and sometimes sour cream.
This was one of my favorite meals growing up. Corn tortillas filled with cheddar cheese and diced white onion, covered in red sauce, and heated just long enough for the cheese to melt, leaving the onions still crisp. My little brother hated onions when he was a kid, but my dad always insisted on putting onions in ALL the enchiladas. I mean, it would have been real easy to leave the onions out of one or two of them. He just didn’t want to. I’m not sure what his reasoning was, but I guess it worked because little brother is cool with onions now.
Happy New Year, Everybody! No I’m NOT reading that calendar wrong. I’m talking about Chinese New Year! Yeah, you read that right.
And I made me some dim sum. I shortcutted my way through the dough and the Chinese barbecued pork filling, leaving me plenty of time to roll these babies around my kitchen on a little cart before digging in. JUST LIKE AT THE RESTAURANTS.
Not really. It was more like a deranged bag lady using a stolen Target shopping cart as a serving dish for pork buns and wontons.
Gather round, ye nut-lovers, and hear this tale of how the Nutter Baller came to be among our fleshly bodies. That sounded gross. I apologize. I hope you’re still here so I can just tell you about this cookie that FAMOUS PASTRY CHEF ZAC YOUNG told me to make. He told me to make a [...]
It seems like I have many stories involving frittatas. But really, it’s just two. For starters my dad used to make them a lot. He’d always put in leftover bread or pasta or even rice. While he called it a frittata, his were really more similar to a Spanish tortilla because they’d end up being [...]
I have no idea what to write about this recipe except that it’s the best in the world and you must believe me. Please, do not turn your ear away from the apparent arrogance in my self-serving claim of it being the best chicken tortilla soup recipe in the world and just listen to this [...]
If you’ve been keeping up with my Twitter account and FaceBook and Google Plus and all that junk where I post my most intimates, then you know Chris and I just got back from a trip to the Texas Riviera — a.k.a. Port Aransas. We ate a boatload (not literally) of fried seafood while we [...]
