Cook’s Tips
The ingredients in this recipe can easily be doubled and baked on the Medium Bar Pan.
The Citrus Press makes juicing limes a quick and easy task. Simply slice a lime in half crosswise, place into the hopper of the press and squeeze.
Traditional chiles rellenos start with mild pablano peppers that are stuffed with Chihuahua cheese, then dipped in an egg batter or breaded and fried.

I just made a great pasta salad to serve tonight.

Cook spaghetti noodles in salted water till done and drain in colander and rinse with cold water till they are cool.
Mix: diced onion, diced fresh tomato, diced cucumber, celery seed, minced garlic, black pepper, parsley flakes, and ranch dressing. Pour over pasta and fold in. Chill.
For those who prefer, use Italian dressing instead of ranch.

You could always make egg drop soup.
Boil water, then add flavouring, then add as many noodles as you want. Beat eggs in a separate container then pour them into the soup slowly, then stir. It goes pretty fast and it tastes good.
