Chili Relleneo in bulk, and not bad

Chili Relleno for one? 😉

I love Chili Relleno, but I wondered if there was an easier way to make a larger size without sacrificing quality? For this challenge I turned to the simple pie plate and a microwave.

Most ‘bulk’ chili rellenos you will find posted are those placed in a casserole dish with the chilis on the bottom ( sometimes NOT stuffed, ugh!) covered with cheese and custard. I am sure it is good, but I want a little custard below the chilis. After thinking about how many microwaved omelets I have made, I thought this might be the ticket for this recipe.

the few steps in this fun dish!

The process is simple: 1) make your egg mixture and place part in the base of the pan and microwave to virtually solid, 2) place your chilis on top, spinkle with your favorite cheeses and cover with remaining egg mixture 3) remove from plate and cover with your Relleno Sauce!

SHHhhh, actually I was going to share this with Laura as she is coming home from a trip, but it really wasn’t all that good… at least that’s my story! 😉 yum!

the under 200 calorie wrap that doesn’t taste like it is

lo cal wrap
bigger than you think, less calories than you could guess and … delicious!

 

I am surprised that this delicious  wrap made from an 8″ lo-cal tortilla could be packed with so many goodies and still be under 200 calories! The amazing thing is that I actually feel satisfied… not like eating a 32 ounce steak at McLintocks in Shell Beach… but nicely full!

Hard to believe anything could be this low calorie... what a great lunch!

So, if you are looking for something tasty and satisfying for lunch… here’s a start in the right direction… it works for us!

what are you fixin for Saint Paddy’s Day?

"Oi 'ear dat sum av yer tink dat green guiness is al' dat dare is? dare is so much more!"

I love Saint Paddy’s day, don’t you? However, some folks get into such a rut on this day serving the same thing year after year, kinda like ‘fish Fridays.’ Ask for a menu and you might hear,” whitefish, whitefish soup and whitefish Bordeaux!” If you are like me there is nothing like our fabulous  Corned Beef Pie that never lasts long enough to get a second piece!

So what will you cook this year?

ah is the word for real Key Lime Pie

Nothing sadder than seeing the last piece of your key lime pie go by... unless, it is coming to you! CLICK on the picture for the recipe!

Whether you need something nice to bring to a friends house, or something to brighten an evening at home… there is nothing like a Key Lime Pie made with heavy cream. BTW, I included the need for 1 1/4 cups of heavy cream , but failed to show you where to use it… but I think you can figure that out. 😉

As for me… this was my slice!
