This sounds like a nice fresh pasta dish

[GummyIII]

OH, that sounds GOOD!!!

[Tunehead54]

I love this recipe.. It was fun to read, too!

Thanks for appreciating the directions. It really is fun to make, each person gets to build their own enchilada - don't like green onions? Don't add them in! ;-)

I should say we only did the mushrooms once. I could easily leave them out.

Anything else that sounds vaguely like a Mexican cuisine ingredient should be considered.

My recipe is a bit from memory as my gals have gone stark raving veggie - my BBQ is my son's and my only refuge except on Thanksgiving when she'll happily cook a turkey with all the trimmings and St Pat's when she'll do corned beef and sourkraut. Go figure. ;-)

Anyway I hope the recipe gets out to lots of people - it really is good. Do you need my address now for all the prizes? If so, just FReepmail me. ;-) Just so you know - I submitted this recipe for posterity and wish more recipes read like mine (for the guys)! A quarter tsp of what? Is that a teaspoon or a tablespoon! Sheesh!

[mylife]

you know how these measures go! L0L
You put in what seems "right"
