FROM MY KITCHEN TO YOURS...
Chili Rellenos
Here is a very simple, very tasty, low carb recipe I've recently adopted, that has been a hit with those I've tried it on... In fact, I just made it this morning for a group of real estate agents for an All Office Tour - along with sausage and fruit.
It is one that isn't exactly the same every time, but here is the general idea, and how I did it this morning:) Butter a 13 X 9 inch baking pan, sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese, then a layer of canned chilis (sliced in half, seeds removed). Beat about 10 eggs with "some" (maybe 1/2 cup) cream and pour over chilis. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until done - top with shredded pepper jack cheese - and melt, of course:)
