Your best dish

Okay, so what's everyone's signature dish? For some reason, I'm most famous for my King Ranch Chicken and Chili dishes. God I've become a full fledged Texan.

To be clear, it's two different dishes. I wish I could say they were my original recipes, but I kind of take the original recipes and tweek them. I got my chili recipe several years ago on some superbowl chili website. The original recipe asks for two or three national brand barbeque sauces but I like to mix up some Kansas City sauces with some Texas sauces and add three or four types of hot sauce too. It's a bit intense for those with a sensitive tongue, but not insanely hot.

The King Ranch Chicken I get from this book here:

And I just adjust the spices and what not, depending on my mood or what's available. I think I need to make some this weekend, it's been a while.

My chocolate chunk with walnuts and caramel. To your favorite chocolate chip/chunk recipe at about 6 oz walnuts (toasted have a nice flavor) and 4 oz caramel. Add the caramel last so that you see ribbons of it.

Whoa! You rock.
I can spot a "foodie" by the gusto in their cooking.

I make my own pasta. Fresh is best. Place in boiling water for 60 seconds.
Simple (tomato, fresh basil, garlic and salt) sauce. Grated Romano and a glass of red wine round it out.

MY lasagna rocks.....fresh pasta sheets (not the boxed stuff!), ground chicken, sauce with a bunch of spices (paprika, chili powder, tumeric, garlic, curry powder, corn meal), olive oil, mozzerella and parmesean cheese.

I make a mean tri-tip in the slow cooker, as well as a delish kosher chicken, also slow cooked, and smothered in BBQ sauce for the last 1/2 hour in the broiler!

Your Texas Chicken sounds awesome!!! I'm not much of a cook but I do try. I make a mean spinach and ricotta cheese manicotti...have to admit that one's pretty damn good!

Mashed potatoes. It's the only thing I can cook. Tonight I tried to make chili (the kind with beans) and almost had to go hungry because I couldn't figure out how to use my can opener. That's how bad I am in the kitchen. But my mashed potatoes totally rock! My vegan ex-boyfriend used to wake me up in the middle of the night to make them for him, despite the large quantities of dairy products involved.

I've been working on perfecting a home made Clif Bar recipe. It's still a work in progress. THe flavor is there but they're just not holding together like they should.

Oh and 'alfredo bread'...sausage, alfredo sauce, mushrooms, black olives, topped with mozzarella, baked on some italian bread. It is to die for.

That's important, because who are more important critics than your children?

My three year old son just had to have Campbell's Alphabet Soup because "it has ABC's in it!". It was either that or Alphabits, and since he already has like four boxes of half eaten stale cereal in the cupboard, I went with the soup.
