Huevos Rancheros - New Mexico

 Found this in my mom's stuff from when we lived in Las Cruces. My parents really embraced the food while we lived there and I remembered really enjoyed the way my mom made huevos rancheros but couldn't find a place that did it the same. Now I have the simple recipe she got from the New Mexico magazine. Such happy memories of a great place and time in our family. 

Super easy way to make a delicious breakfast with southwestern flavors.

Bring 1 cup of Hatch enchilada sauce close to a boil, then slip in a raw egg off of a saucer (be careful not to break the yolk). Add in , 2-4 eggs in total if you want extras, one at a time. Cover and let simmer over low heat.

The sauce poaches the egg, so let it cook long enough so the yolk is cooked to your liking. 

Serve on a warm plate, over the top of a heated slice of leftover cornbread or a corn muffin. Or atop a corn tortilla. 

Garnish with shredded cheese, fresh slices of avocado, cilantro, a dollop of sour cream and more enchilada sauce as desired. 

¡Buen provecho!

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

01-25 Dad's Quick Italian Meatballs

Mix 1 lb lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c Italian bread crumbs 1/2 c spaghetti sauce (more or less, see how it looks) The longer you mix/beat them, the more tender they will be Form meatballs and bake at 350F about 12 minutes Use in meal immediately or freeze for later Put in spaghetti or any pasta will work. Meatball sandwiches would be good too!
