Hello You have a great food stuff Blog here..Enjoy.

You totally nailed that Chili Rellanos Casserole. I normally make the traditional rellano yet I grew so many poblanos this year that I need to now do something with the little guys. Pursuing the web and found your recipe. Best recipe to authenticate the rellano in casserole form. Thank you. 🙂
I will adapt it to whip the egg whites separately and then add the yolks before adding the additional ingredients. The traditional rellano batter is just egg white whipped and egg yolk added. Roasted poblanos roasted, skinned and rolled in flour to hold the batter. Served in a quasi Ranchero Sauce.
Your recipe should emulate the basic essence of a rellano recipe.
Thank you, thank you as I have been cooking all day and needed someone else to figure it out.

Your Autumn Apple Nog recipe calls for a 1 oz. box of vanilla pudding. I’ve never seen a 1 oz. box of pudding, is this correct?
In this recipe: Autumn Apple Nog
I call for a 1 ounce box sugar free Jello vanilla instant pudding mix. Here is a link to an image of that as it is sold on Amazon:
Use the entire 1 ounce box in the recipe.

Hello! I just discovered your blog. Really enjoying these recipes. Look forward to being a reader! – Heather, Life of a Traveling Navy Wife
Thank you!
Thank you for all the wonderful recipes and great photos. Question: Do you have a “save recipe” file so we can enter the recipes to keep?
Thanks! There used to be a recipe bookmarking service called Ziplist but unfortunately they went out of business. I’d suggest making a board on Pinterest. I don’t think they will be going out of business anytime soon. Make the board and add recipes from the blog using the pin button that appears on the recipe photos. Or use a pinterest toolbar, with one click you can pin the page you are viewing to your boards there. Have a great holiday!
I have been looking for the perfect Coney Sauce recipe for eons. Can’t wait to give this a try. It is so enjoyable to receive your recipe notices and be able to respond. Thank you so much for all your time and effort to make our lives better. So glad to have found you. God bless.
Thank you so much! I hope you like it. 🙂
Hi! I just found your blog and can’t wait to try your bread and celery stuffing. We all loved my mother-in-law’s, but she is no longer with us. I tried her recipe, but it always tastes like its missing something. One question, if I use the poultry seasoning instead of fresh herbs, how much do I use?
I’d suggest adding 1 tsp. ground poultry seasoning, taste, and if you like a stronger herb flavor, add 1/4-1/2 tsp. more at a time until it suits. I’d probably do about 2 tsp, but really that depends on the brand of seasoning. So taste as you go.
New to your blog, but I absolutely love it. Read every recipe, so far, and the old and new, are outstanding. Always anxious to see what’s next. Thank you!
Thanks!
How much milk do you use in the bacon cheeseburger soup.
2 cups whole milk. Thanks for saying something! Sorry about the typo. Hope you enjoy! 🙂
Help…. can the ginger and garlic be ground or does it reuire fresh? I does not say and I would like to know before using the recipe. Thanks so much.
Help…. can the ginger and garlic be ground or does it require fresh? It does not say and I would like to know before using the recipe. Thanks so much.
Which recipe? Generally if it says ground ginger that would be dry, and grated ginger is fresh. Garlic is generally fresh minced or chopped or sliced unless it says garlic powder or garlic salt. For the most part you can use dry seasonings in place of fresh. You don’t mention which recipe you are looking at so let me know.
My mother in law made an apple dessert she called Apple Crisp, but the apples were mixed in with the flour and other ingredients. After it was baked it was more like the consistency of a cobbler, but the apples were mixed in, not separated and on the bottom. Any ideas would be appreciated.
I am enjoying your recipes very much. Most recently tried the Cincinnati style chili. It was very good. I never would have thought to combine all of those spices in a chili. Thank you for sharing your talents with us! Paula, Bracebridge, Ontario
It is a local thing- and it has Greek origins. Not like Texas chili but the world needs both, right? Thanks for trying it. <3
