Welcome to the 30th installment of the FR Weekly Cooking (Recipes) Thread.
Looking for something new to make or made something new that came out great? Please share a 'tried-and-true' recipe or four - or all of them:)! for fellow FReepers to add to their 'go-to' Recipe Stack of Family Favorites!
Here's the place to share and explore your next favorite recipe.
Actually, it might work better if you roll them in the nuts first and sort of push the nuts into the outside of the dough to hold them in place. Roll them in the sugar after you roll them in the nuts.
Made that with good results. A keeper.
Glad to hear it, don-o. Try the potato salad recipe above, too.

Excellent! Ping to the recipe poster - SAJ!
What type of dinner will this be, or what do you think your MIL is looking for?
Americanized Mexican food or full boat Ethnic fare?
Actually, we did...RANCH was invented in Santa Barbara, CA. :)
LOL, Yes! So I guess we can be called Ranchians, like that other nationality - Caesarians - lol
I want to be a Blue-Cheesian :>)
full boat ethnic fare.
I have a day or 2. I see a swell chicken enchilada recipe from the list you sent to me....REALLY HELPFUL that is! I am going to look around more.
Her recipies were never quite complete. I called my mom and she said 350 degrees.....
The picadillo recipe I posted a few weeks ago is as authentic as it comes and makes wonderful burritos and tacos...if you add cheese, guacamole, sals to both, the meat is even better (this recipe was taught to me at a Mexican orphanage by a bunch of the children who cook meals for the rest of the kids).
I will look for it.
Here’s the Picadillo Recipe from April 30th

Here it is.....
I used to have a friend who traveled to Mexico a lot. I would go on some of the trips with her and while she worked on an orphanage homes computer system, I had lots of spare time on my hands. One day, some of the kids drug me into their kitchen and taught me this recipe....so authentic Mexican for all of you.
Picadillo (Shredded Beef)
1-2 4 bls cheap beef roast
4-8 cups beef broth
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1 8 oz can diced tomatoes
6 cloves minced garlic (I now use the bottled minced variety)
1 large onion chopped
1 tsp red pepper flakes (more if you want hot)
1 tbs cayenne pepper
1 tbs chili powder
1 can chopped jalapenos (or fresh)
1 can chopped green chilies
1 pinch of salt to taste
Mix all ingredients in a large dutch oven and place the roast(s) in the mixed liquid. Slow cook at a simmer for 4 hours or until the meat pulls apart easily. Put the roast(s) on a cutting board and allow to cool so you can touch it. Pull the beef apart with two forks. Place the shredded beef back into the liquid for 1/2 hour to allow all the beef to soak up the great liquid.
We use this to make tacos, burritos, etc. We freeze the leftover meat and just pull it out of the freezer when we want some more.
Enjoy!

Wow that sounds delicious if I do not use it for here I will use it for home! Thank you
Thanks - you beat me to it - LOL
Thank you so much.
Once she told my cousin and me, "If I don't say what the temperature to cook at is, it's 350." Chortle!
I had a head start - I have all these on an excel sheet - and it was open :>) Didn’t have to click through thread links:)
Recipe sounds great!
Have some ideas of what to ‘authentically’ serve with it, even though all the food groups are there....:>)
Hmm, that may be another question - an authentic Mexican dessert too maybe?
