Happy 29th J!

My husband turned 29 today!!! I couldn't be happier or luckier than to have picked such a perfect mate, he is the most genuine person I have ever met...I am thankful for him everyday. He is also the biggest Chile  Rellenos lover I have ever met, more than my family and I.

My mom came over tonight and made her should be FAMOUS Chile Rellenos. They were so good and a nice surprise for J. He usually makes them, as seen in this previous post. I'm not sure if it's the special tomato broth sauce or the chile itself but I have never had a better one than my mom and now that she has taught J, J's. I've had one restaurant chile relleno that was very good, we were living in Sonoma and it was at a place called Taqueria La Hacienda they have the best Restaurant Chile Rellenos I have ever tried but it still isn't the same. Sometimes I'm scared to order them if we are out, fearing it will get to the table and be covered in brown beef gravy, People please don't eat a chile relleno covered in gravy, that's so gross and ruins the chile flavor. I need to post a tutorial on how to make them, I would one day love to have a chil roaster in my back yard, wouldn't that be amazing?!?!

Happy Birthday J, you big Chile!

Sarayo, Siracha Mayo

Yesterday at the the grocery store I saw Sarayo. It's basically the best hot sauce known to man (Siracha aka rooster sauce which retails for about 3.50) mixed with mayo for four dollars. Great concept but it's so much easier to make your own and not to mention less expensive. The ratio is about 3 to 1, 3 tablespoons mayo to 1 siracha, depending on your hotness level. I commend the makers of Sarayo, however the price is a bit steep. So buy Sarayo or make your own, either is great and delish on hot dogs or especially sushi.

Cheesy Garlic Herb Sticks

I saw these on pinterest. I worked at a pizza place growing up and have a big place in my heart for breadstick and anything with cheese on it. I was in a hurry so I used the trader joe's garlic herb dough ($1.29). Instead of the dough recipe that was on pinterest (see link).

Ingredients:

1 Trader Joe's garlic herb pizza dough (next to the cheese)

2 tablespoons melted butter

3 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 500 degrees place pizza stone in oven. Roll out pizza dough on parchment paper, I did not...BIG mistake, HUGE.  In a small bowl combine butter, garlic and garlic powder, melt in microwave. Brush butter mixture on dough, sprinkle parmesan and mozzarella. Transfer to stone which was a huge catastrophe for me, that's why my cheese is all in the middle (see pics). Bake on stone for 8 to 10 minutes. Slice with pizza cutter and enjoy!
