Bacon Brownies

You can blame or credit Janice Muir of Los Alamos and Facebook for this one, even though she did not send me the recipe directly. Janice is a friend on Facebook and IRL (in real life), and my Facebook newsfeed informed me that she liked, or “liked,” King Arthur Flour. Clicking on the item meant that I saw several subsequent posts from his highness’ flour company, each of which featured a recipe. I tried the bacon brownie recipe, modified it to reduce sugar and served it at the monthly Los Alamos Mountaineers Club Read More

Sauced Burritos

This is another of my “best intentions” recipes; I set out to make chicken enchiladas and wound up with chicken and vegetable burritos drenched in enchilada sauce. The homemade red chile (chile colorado) sauce is the only critical element of the dish; everything else can be changed or made simpler by shortcut. Do not be tempted to save time by using canned enchilada sauce; this homemade sauce can be made quickly with items typically found in a New Mexican pantry and it is well worth the effort. If you have the sauce already Read More
