I know, your first thought is, “What the What?!?!?! How can two such different dishes go on the same plate together? Well, it’s a bit of a stretch, but not all that much. Here’s how this twosome became a yummy pair. I soooooooooooooo love being in the Secret Recipe Club. It gives me an opportunity to really explore other blogs, recipes and take a moment to get to know the blogger. And it forces me out of my coma and into the real world. Well, at least the real cyber world. This month my SRC assignment was The Pajama Chef Sarah. She and her husband, Ben, are always whipping up something fabulous in the kitchen.

Most of you know about my love for all things with Hatch Green Chile, so once again, I couldn’t resist. I was thrilled with the results! Maybe not the two dishes that YOU would have paired, but for me they both really hit my spot. “Spot” is very important, don’t you think? Oh, and a personal note to Sarah: Don’t sweat coordinating side dishes to be ready at the same time as the main dish. Just keep cooking and working through it and before you know it you will amaze yourself! With a microwave or […]
