Please forgive me, Mom, for calling these 'enchiladas' when they are closer to a Taco Bell-like abomination of 'gringo' food. <i>They sure are tasty though</i>. Traditional enchiladas are made with fried corn tortillas, dipped in sauce, then filled with ground beef or chicken, and topped with cheese and onions. My mother made some fine enchiladas. My version is made with flour tortillas, ground turkey, canned sauce, and a whole lot of cheese. But, after their meaty-cheesy-goodness seduces you, you won't care what they are called. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Start by browning (and when I say browning, I really mean completely cooking) a pound of ground turkey. Then you will need: a packet of McCormick's Cheesy Taco Mix, milk, dried onion flakes (or fresh onion), enchilada sauce, cheese, and flour tortillas</div>

Coat the rolled enchiladas with more sauce, any extra meat, and more cheese. More cheese! If you want to stop here and put this in the freezer for another night, it freezes beautifully.

This is a recipe I've been tweaking for the last <i><b>five </b></i>years. Since I've perfected it, I haven't shared it with anyone. In fact, when <i>my boss</i> asked me for the recipe, I brought her some frozen cookie dough instead. This recipe is <i>my baby</i>. It originally started out as a basic oatmeal cookie with dried cherries. The Captain complained, so the cherries were switched out for raisins, various nuts were experimented with, pecans were voted the best. It's taken dozens of trials to get the right ratios--so here it is!</div>

Ok, apparently last time I went shopping for fruit I <strike>got totally screwed</strike> was unlucky. Gala apples, 5 lb bag, mealy as heck. No one would eat them. They were starting to turn brown in my fruit bowl. My kids aren't big apple sauce fans, but I didn't want these things to go to waste. So apple sauce it is!</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

Wash the apples. Soap & water, people; rinsing isn't enough when you're a germaphobe</div>

Burgers are a pretty simple meal that can go from fridge to table in about 20 minutes. I used what I had on hand, but you can make a healthy version that is super-tasty and still clocks in under 500 calories. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
I started with frozen patties sprinkled with seasoning salt. If you're going healthy use a turkey patty or a chicken breast</div>

Ok, the cat's outta the bag. Produce from Sam's stinks...either that or I just have terrible luck. Probably both. Anyhow. Remember the raspberry jam I made a few days ago? Oooohh it was special. I dare to say it was better than my favourite homemade Cherry Orange Marmalade. Yes. It was that good. I had a sour batch of blueberries so I thought I'd turn them into jam--the results? Pretty gosh-darn-good. </div>

My mom loved <strike>to cook</strike> to watch cooking shows. Paula Dean, Rachael Ray, and The Barefoot Contessa were her favorites. She would watch attentively and furiously copy down recipes onto little scraps of paper she fished out of the nearest trashcan. Every now and then I find a new 'recipe' of hers, written on half a discarded envelope, tucked into her address book (<i>beats me, she was weird</i>). I treasure all these little scraps; although, I don't actually remember her <i>cooking </i>any of these things. Most of her 'recipes' are just a random list of ingredients, no measurements, no title, and hardly any instructions.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Today I'll be sharing her Mostacholi--this one is special, I don't have a written recipe for it. I learned how to make it by watching her and helping her in the kitchen. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Start with a pound of ground meat. Cook it thoroughly with some diced onions, then add a can of diced tomatoes</div>

If you're looking for a meal that holds up for freezing, stop right here. The unbaked casserole keeps in the freezer for a couple months. Just defrost in the fridge for a day and let it come up to room temp for a couple hours before putting it in a hot oven (to prevent your dish from cracking). Put it in the oven for about half an hour, or until golden and bubbly</div>

Since then, I've been improving on his technique. We've moved beyond Boboli, and now I make the dough from scratch. It does require some work. Its probably not a whole lot cheaper than the pizza from Costco's food court. But, being able to declare I made it </span><i style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">from scratch</i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> makes all the difference!</span><br />

Either wait for the tap to warm up, or nuke it in the microwave for a minute (I prefer the microwave--saves water, probably electricity too). Add brown sugar--sugar gives the yeast something to feed on</div>

We are 'proofing' the yeast. Back in the days before refrigeration people would do this to make sure the yeast was still 'active,' that is, alive and working--wouldn't want to waste the other ingredients to later find that the bread didn't rise. Some people skip this step, but its easy so I don't mind doing it. While the yeast is growing, mix the salt into the flour</div>

Pinterest. Have you ever pined something, then tried it for yourself and actually had it work out? Yeah, me neither. I set out to try some new recipes, hoping to be able to share them with you. Well, turns out I will be sharing them, but I'm also throwing in a warning--don't waste your time!</div>

First things first. Dried strawberries. I'm sure you've seen the pin. Its a beautiful picture. It says something about drying them for 4 hours, they turn out 'like candy.' Yeah. Right. What kind of candy do you eat? 'Cause the kind I like actually tastes good...</div>

Once upon a time we had a whiteboard hanging in our kitchen. We kept a pretty long To Do list on it. One day yours truly wrote something silly on the board and forgot about it. A month later we had a dinner party, or some family get together, and my sister-in-law found herself reading my To Do list out loud. "Attic fan, clean chairs, fix screen door, decrust ass. <i>Decrust Ass</i>? Baw-ha-ha-ha." And now it is forever part of our family history. </div>

Not really sure why I shared that. This post is about getting stains out of clothing. The Hulk is still working on his potty training (<i>for the love of God,</i> <i>how long does it take!?!</i>). Unfortunately for me, he would rather play a video game than go use the bathroom. </div>

When the kids were still having diaper explosions I would just rinse off the clothes and wash them like normal. I quickly figured out that wasn't enough. I tried all the Spray 'n Wash and Shout -like products. No luck. I finally figured out a method that actually works <i>and </i>minimizes exposure to nasty stuff. </div>

You can get washing soda in any grocery store in the laundry section, its about $3 for a box that will last forever. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
All you do is put the offending item in a zip lock bag, pour on some washing soda (up to 1/4 cup for something heavily soiled) and cover with peroxide. It helps to keep the bag nestled in a small container (like an empty cottage cheese container) to help keep the clothing submerged without using a whole bottle of peroxide. Let it soak overnight (or 3 nights...not that I would know...). Then pour off the liquid into the toilet, drop the clothing in the washing machine, and toss the bag. Wash the offending items like normal (the germ-a-phobe in me makes me put them through the wash cycle twice). After washing there should be no trace. </div>

I couldn't remember which pair was soiled, and after being washing I couldn't find any evidence. No stains. No discolorations. No scrubbing. Very minimal exposure to...you know what. This is by far the easiest way to deal with these sort of items. No more throwing away icky clothes! Did I mention you don't even have to touch the yucky stuff!?! Win-win. </div>

I bought a pint of raspberries at a store that's on my black list for buying produce. It was my fault. I knew better. I was seduced by the low price and the idea that I didn't have to make one more stop at a real grocery store. I got my blemish-free berries home, washed them, and served them for dessert. They were a flop. Even Hoover turned his nose up at them. I was feeling virtuous as I put plastic wrap on the bowl and stuck them back in the fridge before going to bed. I was feeling even more virtuous when I took them out of the fridge for an afternoon snack. Surely they couldn't be as bad as we thought last night. They were. I tried them with a sprinkle of sugar. It didn't help. Then I started scheming up ways to turn it into something edible. Dry them? Turn them into fruit leather? Then it hit me--preserves! </div>

This is another regular around here. I served this at Christmas dinner last year. It was a home run. Best of all, it doesn't require any prep work. Woohoo for easy dinners! For those of you that don't like salmon, try it like this.<i> I have converted <b>many </b>a nonbeliever.</i> It turns out mild and the cream sauce compliments it nicely. </div>

Here's what you need: Salmon (get it frozen at Costco, the cheap one, from the Atlantic, the expensive one does not turn out as well), lemon juice, cooking spray, seasoning salt, and parsley (I have another spice pictured, it didn't turn out that great, so I'll be sticking to my original recipe)</div>

Broil, from frozen, for 10 minutes. Let's talk about broiler height. You want the top of the food to be about 5 inches from the heating element--too high and it will burn, too low and it won't brown properly. And most importantly, my oven isn't dirty, its <i>loved</i>.</div>

If you're wondering why I haven't been posting lately, its because sometimes my recipes need help. For instance, tonight's dinner. It was a FLOP. Major stinker. Everyone hated it. Myself included. I will <u><b>never</b></u> share my flops with you. You're welcome. The recipe I'm sharing right now was actually from about 3 nights ago...</div>

A note about stainless steel. Don't ever use heat above medium high (7 on electric stove) or the pan will discolor...it will still work perfectly, it just won't be <i>pretty</i>. Also, my cooking times take a bit longer because of the reduced heat I am working with, so just keep that in mind. When you're ready to cook, take the meat out about half an hour early to
bring to room temp. I use my stainless steel pan to get a nice sear, so
heat it up and a little oil.</div>

Good stuff.</div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
I realize this plate probably isn't what you envisioned when I called it 'fajitas.' But its probably better than whatever you were thinking of. Actually, I'm just forced to call these fajitas because the Captain, Hulk, and even Hoover won't eat bell peppers, or onions, or any traditional Mexican food. Seriously. Gringos. <i>sigh</i></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Enjoy! </div>

When I was a kid I use to love visiting my grandmother over summer vacation. My mother and I would fly to a far away city and stay for weeks. We would go fishing for crawdads, take day trips to Juarez, and visit long-lost relatives. My grandmother spoke no English, and I spoke no Spanish; so it was always an adventure. My grandmother was a gifted baker--she made the best bread pudding, and prize winning peach cobbler. Today I'll be sharing one of her less glamorous recipes. Cinnamon Chips. Ok, I just made that name up. The authentic version is called a Bunuelo; but, I'm pretty sure <i>real </i>buluelos aren't made with flour tortillas...</div>

Sometimes the kids lose a sippy cup under the couch. Sometimes I don't get around to doing the dishes for a day or two. And sometimes I don't realize that a cup is missing until 2 weeks later, when it mysteriously turns up under the front seat of the car. Things get nasty <i>quick </i>in the summer. You know what you'll find inside. Before you toss them, give this a try. If this doesn't save them, <i>nothing</i> <i>will</i>. This is how you get that gross smell out of plastic cups and bottles.<br />

Bran muffins get a bad rap for being, well, nasty. But these are totally different. They are moist and cinnamony, sweet, and full of blueberries. They are perfect for a quick, make-ahead breakfast. </div>

Truth be told, the hardest part about this dish is peeling the hard boiled eggs. Woohoo for store-bought hard boiled eggs! If you are boiling your own eggs, add a tsp of baking soda to the water to make peeling easier. Slice the eggs and put the yolks in a bowl</div>

If your kids are anything like mine they will beg, whine, and manipulate to get what the want. When they get tired of the thing they cried for, they leave you with a mess to clean up. Case in point, Cheerios. "Please, Mommy, buy these. We like them!" Liars. After eating only a bowl or two, the stuff starts getting stale and a thin layer of dust settles on the box. Those little liars. This recipe was due to a perfect storm of expiring ingredients--the result was pretty tasty. Turns out they do like Cheerios (when they are smothered with candy). </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Here's what you'll need: Cheerios (probably stale, but preferably not), marshmallows (hard and dry, or wet and sticky, maybe even store-fresh, your choice), chocolate chips (that white powder growing on them is just oxidation and it never hurt anyone), butter, and some cooking spray</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"> Chicken Adobo is a family favorite that's served at least once a week around here. I love it because the kids <i>willingly </i>clean their plates, and because it is so easy to prepare. Start to finish it only takes about half an hour to throw together. But the best part about it is that it involves <i><b>no planning or creativity</b></i>. I always keep the few ingredients on hand, so when life gets crazy I know I always have one meal in the bank.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So, here's what you'll need: soy sauce, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and bay leaves</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Now you can throw in the chicken thighs. I use frozen chicken because I just don't like touching raw meat (<i>ewww, germs</i>) and because it's easier to keep on hand, but feel free to use fresh chicken thighs. Bone in is fine too, just make sure it is skinless or the final dish will end up greasy. Costco has the best skinless boneless chicken thighs (I love Costco). One more note, <u><i><b>do not use white meat</b></i></u>, trust me on this one, it will turn out tough and salty (like a dry booger)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Once everything is in the pot turn up the heat to medium high (around 7/8 on an electric stove) and cover. You want the heat fairly high for this dish--it makes the dark meat more tender. Now you can start your rice (if you're doing brown rice you should start it before the chicken)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">When the rice is done, check to make sure all the pieces are cooked thoroughly, if anything is still pink put the raw pieces on the bottom and cook for another 10 minutes, or until done. If you're not in a rush to get dinner on the table, you can turn the heat down to medium (5) and let it simmer for a while (no longer than an hour). This dish is totally adaptable to your needs </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Today was a big clean-up day--we are expecting visitors. That means we are vacuuming, moping, cleaning windows, and decluttering every horizontal crap-collecting surface in the house--and boy do we have a lot of those!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I started cooking dinner at 10am this morning, by 6pm all I had left to do was boil up some pasta. Here's what you'll need: ground meat, canned tomatoes of all kinds, onion, garlic, brown sugar, red pepper flakes,salt, fennel, basil, oregano, thyme, and bay leaves. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I started with a pound of precooked hamburger meat--I like to buy a huge package at Costco and cook it all up at once, then freeze 1 lb portions for easy meals like this one. If you're looking to save a few calories go ahead and use ground turkey, it turns out just as tasty. After you dust off your crock pot, combine the precooked ground meat, a can of diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and tomato sauce</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Elbow pasta is more kid friendly, but use whatever flips your skirt. If you're cooking a double batch for the freezer, you'll want the pasta a bit underdone</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you want to be </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> traditional you could just serve the sauce <i>over </i>the pasta. It makes my life easier to just mix everything together. Now I don't have to worry about running out of sauce, what to do with the extra cooked pasta, or just forgetting the pasta in the water and waking up to a <i>nasty </i>pot to clean...</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">This is a recipe that I always get requests for. It's so addictive my family can polish off a whole batch in just one weekend. Make the Costco-sized batch, you won't regret it.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So here goes, for these candied nuts you will need: sugar, water, cinnamon, vanilla, a pinch of salt, and nuts (I used almonds and pecans, but you can use whatever strikes your fancy)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Let the nuts simmer for a while, this allows the extra water to evaporate and it gives everything a nice toasty flavor. Stir continuously or it will get too toasty (aka, burnt). When it gets harder to stir and your spatula leaves a void as you scrape the bottom of the pot, then it is time to add the remaining sugar and vanilla. If it is too grainy you can add a couple tablespoons of water</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">In an airtight container it can keep for months--it usually never makes it past 3 days though. It makes a beautiful gift and holds up well in the mail. Just be careful who you give it to--they'll probably ask for more!</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Ingredients:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">1 cup Water, plus 2 Tbs as needed</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">4 cups Sugar, Divided </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">2 Tbs Cinnamon</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">1/2 tsp Salt</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">5 cups Raw Nuts </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">2 Tbs Vanilla Extract</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Directions: </span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"> Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"> Combine 1 cup water, 1/2 tsp salt, and 3 cups sugar in large pot on medium high heat until simmering</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Add in 2 Tbs cinnamon and stir until combined </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Add nuts and stir constantly to prevent burning, turn up the heat to high </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">When water burns off and mixture is hard to stir, lower the heat to medium and add in 1 cup sugar and 2 Tbs vanilla</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Mix well until completely coated, if the mixture is too grainy you can add in 2 Tbs water</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Turn off heat and turn out onto cookie sheet</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-size: small;">These end up tasting a bit like Boston baked beans. In the next few weeks I'll be sharing a similar recipe that uses egg whites instead of syrup. They are different but just as addictive, stay tuned! </span></div>
