Chili Relleno Casserole ...p67

I must apologize for the quality of my photos.  My camera was left on an airplane and, unfortunately for me, but fortunately for the thief, it was finders keepers.  I am using my cell phone now for photos, which does an okay job.  I'm disappointed though as I was just learning how to use f-stops and get creative with the camera - I may just have to experiment now with instagram and the creative apps for shooting with an i-phone!

Back to cooking!

I fell in love with this egg recipe the first time my mother-in-law cooked it up.  You can serve it for any meal of the day, dress it up, or just reheat all week long for a quick breakfast, and it's so much easier to make than a quiche with the time threatening crust, (unless, of course, you make the Bisquick quiche or buy premade crusts...).  I have doctored it up at times with cooked, crumbled sausage or bacon.

I like to top it with sour cream and hot sauce, maybe a few sliced jalapeños, and accompany with fresh sliced tomatoes. 

Layer the whole green chilies on the bottom of pan.

Top layer of cheese adds a golden crust.

Hardy Appetit!

Canadian Country Pie ...p63

Nana had surgery Friday morning and we were sitting round the dining room table Saturday morning eating more recipes from this cookbook!  She's a trooper!  Visitors came from near and far to see how she was doing and I wanted to have some simple breakfast fare - I decided to modify this recipe into a finger food style.  Rather than cooking it in a pie plate, I used muffin tins.  Everyone enjoyed them and they were relatively easy to make.  I thought they might make a cute Easter breakfast if made using little tart tins, with the hash browns forming a "basket".  Let me know if anyone tries that!

It was a little hectic so I didn't take a lot of pictures, but did manage to get this one before Leslie popped it into her mouth!   

Hardy Appetit!
