Spelt

Just to let everyone know that Costco now sells Spelt Flour!  2.5 kg bag for $7.00.  They already sell organic Quinoa, so go buy either or both and start creating some healthier recipes!

Chile Rellenos

Chile Relleno's is a New Mexican/Tex-Mexican dish that takes a roasted Green Chile, or Poblano Pepper, stuffs it and the deep fries it.  I cheated and baked this, making it healthier.  This is so much like a stuffed pepper dish, and, again, I deviated from traditional and added more vegetables.

Sweet Potato Biscuits

My in-laws were here for a visit and mentioned they had watched a cooking show that made sweet potato biscuits.  As we were having fried chicken, I thought these would be a perfect accompaniment.  They were.  So much so that I made them the following night with leftover butternut squash puree mixed with sweet potato as well as whole grain flour.  Again, outstanding, and probably even more so.  Because the vegetable puree is so liquidy, I honestly needed little, if any milk.


These are from Paula Deen, and who doesn't love Paula Deen?


(and since my husband made the first batch to go with his fried chicken, he used his favorite cookie cutters - pirate ship and skull and crossbones).
