A lot of repeats...

For those who are interested, and maybe just for my own sense of accomplishment, I am still cooking and eating at home. We've done really well with this the last couple of weeks. I haven't blogged about it because a lot of items are repeats:

• BLT's with fancy bread and cheese and avocado spread. Avocado is a must! Mash it up and add a little garlic salt and lime/lemon juice to taste. It brings out the best in the green power.
• Cordon Bleu's from the freezer section. This is my secret to successful cooking at home. If nothing else is going to work or I want to "relax" or prepare other meals for the upcoming days while something easy is cooking I pull a couple of these from the freezer and work away for 30 minutes while they bake. They're tasty and already portioned and when paired with some green veggies (like local green beans) and milk, a healthy meal.
• Enchiladas Verdes were calling my name. I made these again and discovered some valuable notes. Heat your tortillas on the stove and not in the microwave, the flavor is much more rich and real. If you have "extra" sauce, pour it all on the enchiladas, the sauce really makes the meal. And don't forget to salt the chicken water, it needs the flavor. (Also, grocery stores don't always carry bone-in chicken. It's a special request. Beware.)
• Quesadillas. Why? Because we had extra chicken and cheese and tortillas from the enchiladas. Add a little cheddar cheese and serve with sour cream and the green power of avocado/guac and whamo a delicious and quick finger food feast.

Not a repeat: Lasagna. It's a favorite blend of all that is good - home canned tomatoes, noodles, and cheese. It makes the house smell delicious and fills me with warmth. I'll post the recipe a little later. No promises on photos.
