Chili Rellenos are very popular in our house. I've never made them before but my dad and hubby really enjoy them so I thought I would give them a whirl. I got the basic recipe from Marcela Valladolid. Ok so first I roasted these poblanos with EVOO drizzled on them, then I put them on the BBQ, about 15-20 minutes on low heat. I then peeled the http://primascookingfun.blogspot.com/2010/08/chili-rellenos.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (** Primas)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5036343673503764737.post-3738334248795114190Sat, 21 Aug 2010 01:33:00 +00002010-08-20T19:10:44.610-07:00Who doesn't love a good salsa? I put salsa on almost everything. It's kind of like bacon, it makes everything better. My friend Sonya's husband back home makes really yummy salsa. One time when I went over to their house for dinner I asked him how he made it. He told me step by step. I went home tried doing what he said and it just wouldn't turn out. It was actually disgusting.

It is Italian for "half cold". Typically associated with ice cream cakes, which this dessert reminds me of. I found this recipe in a magazine where a Connecticut woman won a contest with this no-bake dessert. I immediately wanted to taste this when I seen all the ingredients.

"Eggplants belong to the nightshade family of vegetables, which also includes tomatoes, sweet peppers and potatoes....One can generally describe the eggplant as having a pleasantly bitter taste and spongy texture."

I would much rather eat ham than turkey, and I'm not much of a pork person. Unless of course it's bacon or a wonderful spiral ham at Easter. This was the most disgusting dinner I think I have ever made. Wow, I do NOT like ground turkey. I have a friend who had gastric bypass and she eats a lot of turkey because it's easier on her stomach and a lot less calories.

I got hooked when we lived in San Jose and went to "The Cheese Steak Shop". I didn't have onions or green peppers on hand so I had to just omit them this time. They still tasted yummy. I took 3 chicken breasts, one was huge so I cut it in half. I put some rub on them. I couldn't really taste too much of the flavors, but  that is probably because it http://primascookingfun.blogspot.com/2010/07/chicken-philly-cheese-strawberry-lime.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (** Primas)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5036343673503764737.post-4771494069674169961Thu, 22 Jul 2010 02:32:00 +00002010-07-21T21:45:19.272-07:00Over here at the Kings, we went for ease this fine evening.

This is my first food blog of many. My cousin and I love sharing recipes so we decided to share with a little more people.  Tonight we had Chipotle Crusted Pork Tenderloin with black beans, zucchini, and avocado salsa. First I start with the beans, since they take the longest.

Every morning when I would get off work from a long 12 hour night, I would go there and get my burrito and my large Jamaica.

It’s been a nice family business with great food and wonderful people for many years. We would go Chihuahuas for every occasion that I can remember. Birthdays, prom, homecoming, get together’s, and lunch. We also went there when Efrain's parents came to WA for the first time and we went there with a http://primascookingfun.blogspot.com/2010/07/arroz-con-pollo.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (** Primas)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5036343673503764737.post-687192740754949941Tue, 20 Jul 2010 03:12:00 +00002010-07-20T08:00:18.977-07:00We are not professional bloggers or professional writers. Just a couple cousins who love to cook and bake. Every time we talk either email, text, or phone, we are sharing our recipes. We do this so much that I thought we should start a blog and a facebook page so our friends could get some ideas. We hope that you like what you read and that you can start to making dishes that are amazing.http://primascookingfun.blogspot.com/2010/07/live-simply-eat-generously.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (** Primas)
