Calabacitas

This Mexican side dish has always been a favorite of mine. Easy to make and full of vegetables, this is one to try with your next south-of-the-border meal! Delicioso! Serves 4.

2 medium zucchini, sliced
2 medium yellow crook-neck squash, sliced
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
3 tbsp. canola oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/3 cup fresh Hatch green chilies, diced
1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Saute squash and onion in oil over medium-low heat until barely tender. Add garlic, chilies, and cheese. Mix well. Place mixture in a 1 qt. casserole dish and bake in oven 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and slightly golden on top.
Enjoy!

Allow to cool completely, then cover in chocolate ganache.  Ganache: 1/2 cup heavy whipping cre...

Vanilla-Almond Creme Brulee

Easier Than You Think Creme Brulee Recipes I have worked on several recipes and Del was nice enough to taste with me. ;-) She finally told me the other night that "I had perfected this", so now I feel like I can share! Extreme creamy custard on the bottom, and a hard, crunchy top layer of "burnt" sugar. "Creme Brulee" literally translates to "burnt creme".  The only "must" for this recipe is the custard cups- make sure you use heat proof cups designed for baking souffles or brulees and this recipe will be a snap!!
