Oh wow, were to start with these! So many really great sounding recipes. I think I'll start with>>>

the Corn Fritters with Mango Chutney...but then, maybe the.....

 
I'm starting with the Thai chicken salad, but am terribly disappointed

that it only has 1 gram of fiber. How is that possible? It's a SALAD!

My heart arteries and veins had a serious discussion with my brain and said, "Either you consciously lower your cholesterol or we'll take that decision away from you." Since that option could involve the Big D, I'm looking to get all the fiber I can these day.

(Yes, my organs get together and have little chit-chats. Don't yours?)

 
I'm going to try the Double Corn Spoon Bread w/Green Chiles (REC>>)

Plus its another reason to use my blow torch for the chiles. And, Marilyn, we call that an organ recital in my family! LOL


Top Recipe 1992: Double Corn Spoon Bread with Green Chiles

The contrasting tastes and textures of cornmeal and fresh corn kernels enrich this simple dish from Georgeanne Brennan. Tasters really liked the charred fresh chiles and the light, souffle-like texture. Serve this anytime -- even for a light supper with a green salad and French bread. Brennan started writing for the Food section in 1982. She is author of "Potager," "The Glass Pantry" and "The Food and Flavors of Haute Provence," among others.


INGREDIENTS:
2 tablespoons butter
6 large, fresh green chiles (such as Anaheim), roasted, peeled and seeded
1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
3 eggs, yolks and whites separated
Kernels from 2 fresh ears of corn (yellow or white)
2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
2 tablespoons flour
1/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 teaspoon salt

INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat oven to 350°. Butter an 8-inch-square baking pan with 1 tablespoon of the butter.

Place the chiles in a layer on the bottom of the pan, and sprinkle all but 2 tablespoons of the cheese on top of them.

Beat the egg whites until fluffy, but not stiff.

In another bowl, mix together the egg yolks, corn kernels, cornmeal, flour, milk, sour cream and salt.

Fold the whites gently into the yolk-flour mixture. Spoon over the cheese and peppers. Cut the remaining butter into small pieces and scatter over the top. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over all.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until all but the very center is set. Serve hot.
