I'm making migas for the first time this Sunday. I've read many different versions of the recipe and have an idea of what ingredients I want to use. However, the big sticking point is this: Some recipes use actual tortilla chips and some have you use regular corn tortillas cut into strips and sauteed for a bit.
Which do YOU prefer?
I find allrecipes.com extremely useful. I like to read the reviews, not only for the rating of a particular recipe, but to read what people used in the way of substitutions. Very handy
Oh man. My mom used to eat tuna salad (tuna & mayo) and canned baked beans, slightly warmed. She wouldn't mix them together but put them on the same plate and take alternating bites.
I NEVER tried this or understood it!
Well thanks for the responses. There seems to be no "wrong" way to do it so . . . wish me luck!!
I don't know about memorable BUT, whenever my boyfriends gets Chinese food, he gets these hilariously upbeat, complimentary fortunes like "You are the greatest man alive", "Everyone things you are awesome" and "Your life will improve in the next 10 seconds".
If I open a cookie in his batch, it will invariably say "You are about to enter in to the worst 4 weeks of your entire life. It is unavoidable."
You can't put eggs in a baggie for a mid-day snack! What would you get if you mixed eggs, marshmallows and butter? Certainly not Rice Krispie Treats! And, if I'm stumbling around the kitchen at 1 a.m., I'd certainly rather pour a bowl of cereal than take out a pan, a spatula, the butter, etc.
So, bye bye eggs
I Can't Believe it's Not Butter . . . and I can't believe I just admitted that!
Ok, this seems weird but I started eating because of dietary restrictions and then grew to like it -- cottage cheese and rice that has been warmed up with margarine and kosher salt.
Put a scoop of each side by side in a bowl. Don't mix them, just eat a bit of one and then the other!
I swear, its really comforting.
Try keeping kosher!!! Boneless chicken breast can be up to $7.99 a pound!!! It is insane. We try to buy the bone-in, which can be half as much money. I skin it, and if I'm feeling energetic, take it off the bone.
But, yes, the bone-in breasts definitely "taste more like chicken" than their boneless counterparts.
Cookies . . .Even though I can never eat anything I bake (food allergies) I love the feel of the dough coming together and I love to watch the transformation that happens in the oven.
In addition, there are an endless variety of cookies out there and lots of ways to experiment. Unlike in high school and college, this is a chemistry that I actually excel at!
Most importantly, there is something wonderful about watching people take a big bite of cookie (or cake, or bread, or brownie) and smile!
Hah! Couldn't believe when I saw this question -- I eat an almost entirely white diet:
Rice
Rice Krispies
Mashed potatoes
Stonyfield's Organic Vanilla yogurt
Breyer's Vanilla Ice Cream
Swiss Miss Vanilla Pudding
Cottage Cheese
Rice Pudding
American Cheese (none of that yellow dye for me!)
Chicken breast
Peanut Butter and Egg Sandwiches.
My boyfriend's mother also told me recently that her father used to put peanut butter on burgers...not sure about that one, but the egg combo DEFINITELY works...
Fries in a Frosty (I don't know how other chocolate milkshakes compare...)!
I like tabasco on vanilla ice cream. DO not ewww till you try it. Hot and cold its sooo good.
I like horseradish bacon dip on BBQ potato chips.
Honey mustard dressing on french fries.
Peanut butter/fluff/seedless raspberry jam on banana bread.
I would rather have a melted slice of cooper sharp on my bagel than a schmear unless I am having fish on bagel, them it must be a shmear.
Cranberry sauce on a turkey sandwich.
When I was a kid I only would eat a bologna sandwich if it had crushed fritos on it and yellow mustard.
raspberry jelly, cream cheese, and turkey on a bagel
bologna, butter and peanut butter sandwich
my friend and his brother would eat ketchup and swiss cheese sandwiches
@Butrflygirly - cream cheese on a tuna sandwich
@cowprintrabbit - added cucumbers and onion.
I WANT!
@Butrflygirly - Yay! I was almost embarrassed to write about that one:-). I have no doubt it would be spectacular with strawberry sauce!
@Susquehanna - I'm just glad you tried it and liked it, because the watermelon and feta combo is truly a match made in heaven:-) Now, have you tried watermelon with balsamic vinegar, or better yet, balsamic vinegar reduction? It's incredible!
No one thought that the chocolate-dipped bacon on last week's revised "Dinner: Impossible" seemed a bit odd???
@brooke29: I saw you mentioned the watermelon and feta combo above on 7/12. I need to give you extra propers for encouraging me to try it! I really like it. :)
@brooke29: That sounds great! But I want Strawberry Sauce on mine..Garlic makes everything great I think. :)
@cowprint: YAY! So glad you are a fan too. I like plain cream cheese or the veggie cream cheese on that sandwich...So yummy. I know what I am having tomorrow for lunch. :)
Which reminds me of some other combos:
~Plain Brownie: I will eat plain but do like to spread Creamy or Chunky Peanut Butter on Top
~Plain Brownie: I like to spread Cream Cheese on top too (Plain or Cinnamon are good)
I guess I came up with a new one two days ago - I spread a thin layer of sour cream with dill & roasted garlic over a pineapple pancake and poured blueberry sauce on top of that. It was absolutely delicious!
