Roll them into balls and pour melted caramel over them. Let it harden, then eat it. It's better than any candy bar I've tasted.

Thanks but I'd rather vomit in a bowl. It would look and taste the same and be cheaper.

Chicken Chimichangas

Package of Tortillas (Burrito or Fajita size)
1 can refried beans
1 bag shredded cheese, Mexican or your choice (2 cups)
1 small can green chiles
3 green onions chopped
cumin
garlic powder
onion powder
oregano
Chicken - I use about 2 breasts or 3 thighs or a package of the precooked stuff if I'm in a real hurry

Cook your chicken in a skillet until cooked through and shred or dice it. Mix in a large bowl with the cheese, chiles, green onions and around a teaspoon or two of each of the herbs and spices.

Take your tortillas and spread a large spoonful of beans down the center, add a handful of your mix and wrap. Continue until you run out of filling. Put the chimichangas into a glass dish or onto a pan. Brush or spray lightly with oil or butter and put into the oven at 350 for about 10-15 minutes, or until the outside has browned a bit. The only important part is for the cheese to melt and the whole thing to get warm and slightly crispy.

Eat with salsa, guacamole, and/or sour cream

If you don't like it as cheesy, the original recipe called for 1 cup of Colby/Jack cheese but I felt like this wasn't enough. You can add more meat or less to suit your needs as well. I'm really bad at retaining measurements and I cook this from memory.It's all to taste anyway

Your fist sentence makes no sense and i'm not sure what "searved" means.

Sorry to burst your bubble......the family does have a maid, but she does not cook for us on a daily basis. She is hispanic and always makes some damn good tamales and mexican food around the holidays though. My mother is an excellent cook, as is my father.

I also don't know what the Bar S**t Ranch is. Thanks for attempting to to insult me though. It would help if you learned to spell and write logical sentences.

No problem, I picked it out of a cookbook because I thought it was easy and it's really flexible. Once you make it once you can add or substitute whatever you like That's why I don't remember what's in it!

Just for grins.

I am going to try baked filet of sole with Lemon Peppercorn marrinade and see what happens.

Have a baked potatoe and salad on the side!

Wish me luck.

Tiramisu Cupcakes
Cupcake

Ingredients
6 eggs, separated (separate when cold; allow to come to room temp)
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup sugar, divided
3 tablespoon water, room temp
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup sifted, all-purpose flour (measure after sifted)

Directions
In large mixing bowl at high speed, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy. Add half of the sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating constantly until sugar is dissolved and whites are glossy and stand in soft peaks. Rub just a bit of meringue between thumb and forefinger to feel if sugar has dissolved.
In small mixing bowl at high speed, beat egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored, about 3 to 5 minutes. Gradually beat in remaining sugar, water, vanilla and salt (if desired) until blended.
With a sifter or sprinkle flour with a sieve over whites. Add beaten yolk mixture. Gently, but thoroughly, fold yolk mixture and flour into whites.
Fill muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 10-15 min or until done.

Espresso Syrup

Ingredients
½ cup confectioner’s sugar
2/3 cup water
5 teaspoons espresso powder

Directions
In a small, heavy saucepan over high heat, combine the water, the remaining 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar and the espresso or coffee powder. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool.

Use a fork to poke a few holes into cupcakes so that they will absorb liquid. Pour approximately ½-1 teaspoon of syrup onto each cupcake.

Frosting

Ingredients
3 c mascarpone
1 c confectioner’s sugar
¼ c marsala wine
¾ c heavy cream, chilled

Directions
In a medium bowl using an electric mixer set on medium speed, beat together the mascarpone cheese, confectioner’s sugar and marsala until well blended. Add the cream and beat until fluffy, about 1 minute. Frost cupcakes with mascarpone/whipped cream mixture. Dust tops with cocoa powder (I used unsweetened) and then sprinkle with dark chocolate shavings.
