What's on the menu for eveyone today?

I'm making my Birthday dinner (but, it isn't my birthday yet, Denise )today. Anyone who's going to join in this project, it's much easier if you prep the day before. I made the marinade/rub for the chicken yesterday and the chutney (hope there is some left for today...just sayin')

The talk of hatch chile cream sauce got me yesterday so we're having spice- rubbed grilled steak and rice burritos (love rice IN a burrito) and I will try my hand at a chile cream sauce, but think I will add some cilantro to it. I don't actually have any hatch chiles though - will have to substitute poblanos or something.

Trixxee, try adding some rehydrated (in boilng water or stock) and puréed ancho and/or guajillo chiles, as well.

Good tip Labs! Will add it to my list right now. Thank you.

Not sure yet. I must have picked up a virus while traveling home. Probably going to be chicken soup.

Get better soon Maryann.

Trixxee, I use to make a poblano cream sauce called rajas, it was really delicious.

Tonight I'm making Hawaiian Chicken Salad.

Yes, feel better soon, Maryann -

Oh Trixxee - have you ever made the stuffed poblanos with walnut cream sauce that a number of us made a few years ago - I think everyone (Billy too) gave it a 12 to 15!!!! Dellicious!

Here's the link to the conversation re the stuffed peppers -

Despite what many people THINK is Mexican food, Chiles en Nogada (Stuffed Poblano Chiles with Walnut Sauce) is a very traditional, Mexican dish.

The recipe in that other thread looks good, at first glance, although I do see that, instead of using apples, pear and peaches (or sometimes citron and quinces), it only has apples (although, admittedly, it varies). It's also missing the traditional pomegranate garnish that would complete the red (pomegranate), white (sauce) and green (poblano) colours of the Mexican flag.

Still pretty amazing to see it in an American magazine.

Feel better, Maryann!

Jean--2 things--I had your b-day dinner planned for my Jewish holidays off next week, so my review will be a few days late. Secondly, how did I miss the recipe for stuffed poblanos?!?!? That is one of my favorite dishes ever. However, I'm going to have to sub pecans for the walnuts....childhood traumas of growing up in an abandoned walnut orchard still resonate with me...

Tonight we're having a beef and veggie stir-fry over brown rice.

Tandori Chicken. From one of the C@H light books I think. The original recipe was for Turkey Tenderloin. Making the peach chutney out of canned peaches (crazy) and the cucumber Riata. I think the kids will enjoy it. Served with brocoli and garlic bread instead of Nan. I didn't want to go out.
