If you haven’t noticed, we like Mexican food and chiles. Baby Lady is from El Paso, so she grew up with it. I spent time in Mexico as a young boy and loved the food. Also, Mexican food was always available in Texas. Much of it, however, was Tex-Mex. This relleno is more of a traditional Mexican dish and it is delicious.

This is the sauce we used in the Eggplant & Zucchini alla Parmigiana. Some people would refer to this as a marinara sauce. Other people would call it a tomato sauce.

And here is a post with NO CHILES! It finally got cold enough in DFW to have a hot bowl of soup. In fact, we got down to the upper 30s on Sunday and it warmed up into the lower 50s. Monday & Tuesday were the upper 30s and then into the mid 60s. That was it. In the meantime, while the US East Coast is getting hammered by Sandy and accompanying snow, we’re creeping back to the 80s with sunny skies. So, I’m glad I made the soup when we had the opportunity. 🙂 Looks pretty tasty doesn’t it? Continue reading Broccoli Cheese Soup
