There is a wonderful Mexican Bread called Bolillo and they are great for tortas, and the subject of this post the wonderful Molletes. Simply delicious a Mollete is a Bolillo, relative of a French Baquette, piled with salsa, frijoles and queso and cooked for a bit until all is bubbly and heated through. As the ingredients are few it is very important that you use only the best, most flavorful ingredients.
Make your own refried beans with freshly cooked beans (a can works too) and salsa, venture into a panaderia and buy fresh bolillos. Skip the Rosarita pasty refried stuff and the overpriced picante sauce and go for the goo stuff! Fresh, vine ripened tomatoe, onions and chilies, frijoles and queso. Don’t get uptight about the bacon fat, it will make the dish excellent.

 OK, first I have to admit Hot Tuna – I can’t stand the stuff! Frankly, I don’t like cold tuna or any other fishy tasting stuff.
I went looking for a recipe but did find anything to that appealed to me. I guess when you don’t like something it’s difficult to get excited about it. The challenges – there is the tuna thing but I suppose it won’t be tuna casserole without it, and then there is the Cambpell’s® Cream of Mushroom Soup that every recipe seemed to call for and I don’t use canned soups.

I made Macaroni and Cheese for lunch a couple of days ago. During Lent M&C is a nice meal for those who skip meat on Fridays. Tracy mentioned that I should blog about Macaroni and Cheese, I already did ~Here is a repost of Sometimes it’s Macaroni and Cheese.
Macaroni and Cheese is a perfect compliment to a wide variety of dishes – but I have to admit I like it all by itself. The other thing I have to admit is that, coming from a family of starch-mongers, I grew up eating macaroni and cheese with a slice of bread and butter. Ugh!
I make macaroni and cheese many different ways – some are baked, some are stove top, some creamier than others and all delicious. I will share in time. This is an easy, flavorful, stove top, traditional mac and cheese, oh so creamy and perfect with a slice of bread and butter.

A favorite in our family is pizza. As a bread lover, I can’t resist a slice of freshly made pizza deliciously topped with some well planned toppings. It seams the American idea of pizza is a cardboard like crust piled with a couple of pounds of meat and cheese but a simple pie with few, fresh [...]

 Sterling called and said he would be coming to town for the evening so he could attend a friend’s Halloween party. I got busy and made his very favorite cookie – Snickerdoodles!
For me I choose anything chocolate but this cookie has always been his fav. I think it always bothered him that I consider this an Autumn cookie and never made it in the the rest of the year; maybe that’s why I wasn’t into them, because of my silly rule.
This was the recipe my Grama Rosie used for Snickerdoodles. The only thing I have changed is that I use butter and she used margarine. I also had to adjust the flour to accommodate the extra moisture in butter that is not in shortening and margarine.

It was such a beautiful, brisk Autumn day and I am not quite ready for the warm Summer weather to be gone. A sure cure is to make some soup! I don’t make, or eat soup in the Spring or Summer and really look forward to it in the Fall. Soup is one of my favorite things but being a quirky person I don’t eat it out of season. Today, my first pot of soup! [...]
When I was a kid my Grama would make this tremendously delicious bread called Bubbat. It was usually made on Saturday and served on Sunday after church. Bubbat, an egg rich, sandwich like, breakfast, lunch or dinner bread. All I know is as a lover of anything starch this stuff was close to heaven. [...]
When I was a kid my mom would sometimes buy, either frozen or canned, Mexican Style Corn. As a kid I thought it was great! Corn with red and green things in it to give it that Fiesta look. Mexican Style Corn is was not. Later I discovered Elotes which are truly Mexican Style Corn and it is delicious! [...]
Since my earliest memories, I can remember Green Bean Casserole at the holidays. I believe the original recipe was developed in the 50′s to boost a brand or two and it caught on. The casserole is comfortable and brings back warms holiday memories. I must admit, there is no other time of year I would eat [...]
