Eating Dinner With My Family

My husband loved it! (he said was a five, he ate 3rds and he wasn't even that hungry.  It was super easy too.  I have a texture problem with ground beef in crumbles, but this didn't bother me.  I didn't love it quite as much as my husband did, but still really enjoyed it.  The best thing about this recipe is how fast it came together.  Even grating the cheese myself and taking time to seed the jalapenos, the meal was on the table in just about 30 minutes.  This is one of several green enchilada type sauce/salsa I have made and I see no reason to buy a can, ever. especially now that I have made this one.  Boiling the salsa rather than roasting it, still makes a pretty fine salsa.  (roasting still does ultimately taste better)  If I were to pick any nits, it would be I would have liked more cheese, but was still great without it and lets face it, healthier with the amount here;).

I have been seeing that Chuys fan's are truly fanatics.  I first noticed it on pinterest, and after that, it seemed to be every where.  (it is a valid psychological phenomenon)  A few weekends back, when were in Orlando for the Party for the Senses, I took the kids to dinner at Chuys, just to see what the fuss was all about.  I did really enjoy my meal, which was this recipe.  The star of the meal was the creamy jalapeno sauce, we had with the chips, I will be trying that one soon.  I didn't start with it because looking for that recipe, I found many versions, and this recipe is supposed to be from the restaurant itself.  If you click on the title and go to the original post, there is a video too.  I did like this.  It wasn't just like the restaurant because it was nowhere as hot, but I seeded my peppers and bought mild roasted green chiles.  I figured erring on the side of caution was better.  I was a little aghast to see so much p...

I got a "green basket" from Front Porch Pickings.   They deliver produce to my area and the Tampa area,  and they specialize in local and organic produce.  I got many beautiful things in this basket and I wanted to use as much as possible in my first dish.  I decided to adapt the recipe for chilaquiles with roasted tomatillo salsa from Marcela Valladolid to the ingredients I got in my basket.  (Mainly because I got some lovely tomatillos and I love chilaquiles)  So while it is similar, I did make some substitutions to fit my ingredients, as you will see if you compare the two recipes.  It was an amazing dish.  Everyone loved it and the boy was disappointed that there wasn't enough for seconds.  (I am trying to avoid leftovers as they plague me;)  It was perfect.  I have had them in restaurants and this is just as good.  I even got rid of some leftover chicken.  I sliced it up and warmed it in a bit of the salsa and b...
