I used to make a fabulous (if I do say so myself) ginger-brandy cheesecake with a gingersnap crust. It was positively heavenly, but I've lost the recipe and can't remember it well enough.

I make some great Pork Chile Verde, cheese enchiladas, and fideo! YUMMY!

i make a mean mean MEAN stir fry, especially if you like it spicy.

i also make really good curry dishes, but i need a little help from trader joe for those...still, i can rock a jar of green thai curry simmer sauce like nobody's business!

I just got done cooking a mean omlette with left over carne asada, tomatoes, cilantro, spanish rice, and peppers with a boal of date, walnut, and raisin oatmeal on the side. Breakfast of champions If I was not off for the summer this would be a weekend meal only!

Oh. Well, not to flatter myself but I AM QUITE the mixologist.

DaniDaniBoBani said:

good for you! Ilove margarita's and a yummy tequila sunrise!

Lol! Now let me add how I can't bake. Well, my nephews and nieces from Mexico were visiting and I said, "Hey lets make chocolate chip cookies". So they all looked at me surprised when I took out a frozen package from the freezer and it was those prepared ready to bake chocolate chip dough circles. My nephews and nieces thought I was going to make the dough and actualy prepare the chocolate chip cookies.

Any kind of casserole or stew, I kick ass at those... flavoring potatoes roasting in the oven, I rock at that too. Pot roast as well, but do it very rarely.

Lately it's my quesadillas, but I jus stole the recipe from America's Test Kitchen.

But I've adapted their recipe to make burritos, also.

NDRU said:

Quesadillas are cool. Do you make them with corn or flour tortillas?

Paradisekiss03 said:

Flour, but there's corn in the filling. Corn tortillas would probably be good, too, though

1/3 cup corn (heat this on a dry pan and set aside once it browns & pops)

fry up:
oil
1/3 cup red onion
large clove garlic
3/4 teaspoon (I think?) chili powder
1/3 cup black beans (crush them a bit when you add to the pan)
add the corn & remove from heat

salt & pepper
some lime juice

2/3 cup grated cheese
jalapenos (optional)
cooked chicken (optional)

put half the cheese in one side of a heated tortilla, then half the mixture of the rest on top. fold the tortilla, brush the top w/oil, and salt it, then fry on clean pan, brush, salt, and flip when the first side browns a bit.

put some guac & sour cream & salsa on top. I love these because they're complete meals.

makes two

NDRU said:

Wow. I just make then out of flour or corn tortilla and just put a piece of white Mexican cheese in the tortilla or add a piece of ham.

Paradisekiss03 said:

I know, I was never really excited by them before, but these are so complete I could eat them all the time (and I do!)

I make burritos with the filling, along with rice, lettuce, sour cream, guac and salsa.
