Chile Rellenos
Roast and peel fresh long green chiles for best tasting results. Place a stick of cheddar or jack cheese inside each chile. Dip chile in flour and then in egg batter (beat egg whites stiff, fold in beaten egg yolks). Then fry gently until golden brown on both sides and egg is done.
Other method for batter: Beat egg whites stiff, fold in yolks and enough flour to make stiff batter. Dip chili in batter and fry same as before.
Both methods work beautifully and give almost the same results.

Tell Me, tell me...What do you feed your baby?
I've been wondering what other people feed their babies? My one year old with all of 8 teeth must be getting tired of her diet. Of course, when we're eating at the dinner table, I try to give her some of what I'm eating. However, during the day, I like to give her finger foods that she can feed herself. Thus, most of what she eats is in the form of cubes, cut by my pizza cutter (pancakes, omlets, etc.).
My other standby is carrots and peas, from the bag of frozen veggies that I keep in the freezer. At least once a day I pour a couple of tablespoons into a bowl, microwave them for a minute, let them cool, and she gets to snack.
Okay, I'll admit it...I have made my own baby food, but that's a pain in the rear. I've microwaved sweet potatoes, etc., put them in the blender, and then spread them into my silicone ice cube tray. Then I froze them, and just warm them in the micro when I need them. However, she's outgrowing that blender food now, and she's bored with it all.
This morning she's having cubes of leftover quiche. Yesterday she had Yogurt, Instant Oatmeal, Cheerios, Crackers, Tropical fruit chunks, Carrots & Peas, and Quiche. Along with some of whatever I ate.
So, I've enabled comments, and I really want some ideas...

German Pancake - kind of.
4 T. butter
1 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup sugar
5 eggs
1 cup buttermilk or milk with 1 T. Vinegar added to sour it
1 tsp vanilla
Melt the butter in a cast iron skillet (or other ovenproof pan) while oven is preheating to 400 degrees.
Mix flour, salt, soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar. Add Eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla. Mix well. Pour into hot skillet when butter starts to bubble. Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.
Serve topped with Apple Pie Filling and we poured a puddle of cream and then sprinkled it with sugar. Soooo, yummy.
It would really be good savory too - leave out the nutmeg, cinnamon, & vanilla - top with sauteed veggies and grated cheese. Oooh, or add some dill, sauteed minced onion, cheddar. I'm thinking this would be great with topped with sauteed onions, green chiles, and sausage, add a packet of brown gravy mix and 1 cup of water, bring to a boil, pour over. Oh, Now I have to go cook!
And for sticklers - here's the real recipe that I distorted...
