EASY CHILE RELLENO EGG ROLLS
I love chile rellenos, but they can be time consuming to make from scratch. This is a fast fix! Feel free to spoon your favorite ranchera sauce over the top if serving with rice and beans. This recipe comes from my 76-year-old Japanese mother, who learned it from a Filipino lady she used to work with back in the early 80s. If using wonton wrappers, you can serve these as appetizers. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Lay a wrapper on a work surface diagonally so it resembles a diamond. Place a slice of green chile horizontally across the wrapper, 1 inch above the bottom point. Place a strip of Monterey Jack cheese on top of the chile.
- Fill a small bowl with water. Dip an index finger into the water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Roll the wrapper up and over the chile and cheese, starting from the point closest to you. Bring in both sides, making sure to press firmly to seal the filling. Roll away from you and to enclose the yumminess inside. Repeat with remaining wrappers, chiles, and Monterey Jack cheese.
- Heat approximately 1/2 inch of oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Carefully lay a few egg rolls into the hot oil. Fry, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Repeat with remaining egg rolls.

EASY HOMEMADE AMISH EGG NOODLES
Another wonderful recipe collected from a fine woman on my 5 day visit to an Amish community in northern Indiana. Most of the local families have 6-10 children, so dishes like this help to fill a big, hungry family at the end of the day. Use in any recipe that would call for noodles or pasta.

Steps:
- 1. **Please note: Prep time does not include one hour rest for dough or drying time, if desired.
- 2. Place flour, salt, eggs, yolks and water in stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. If you choose, you can also do by hand. Mix on speed 2 until dough comes together, scraping sides and bottom of bowl often. After a few minutes, if it seems too dry or too wet, add water or flour a spoonful at a time, just until it comes together. You don't want a sticky dough.
- 3. When the dough forms a ball, continue to knead on speed 2 for 5 more minutes. (By hand, about 10 minutes, or until dough becomes smooth.) The dough should not be sticky. Remember, you may want it to dry out later. Wrap in Saran Wrap and place on counter at room temp. for 1 hour to rest. It should not stick to the Saran Wrap.
- 4. Flour counter top. Then remove dough from wrap and roll as close to 1/16" as possible. As you roll with each pass, turn and flip the dough to avoid sticking to the counter. Keep your work area lightly floured at all times. The thicker the dough, the chewier the noodles and the longer it will take them to cook. Ideally, you want to be able to start to see the shadow of your hand through the dough, but not so thin that you can't pick up the noodles. Thinner is better in this case.
- 5. Then, make sure your dough moves easily on the counter. With a pastry wheel or pizza cutter, cut to desired width. It doesn't matter what width, but they should all be uniform so that they cook evenly.
- 6. Transfer to cookie sheet(s) lined with waxed paper and a little loose flour and allow to dry for about an hour if using immediately. If you wish to freeze them, allow to dry for at least 2-3 hours, then place in a ziplock bag and freeze. When ready to use, drop into boiling water or boiling broth while noodles are still frozen. Do not defrost noodles first or they'll stick together.
- 7. Old country Amish women would spread these out on the table and let them dry overnight. To speed things up in today's world, I put a small 7" fan on my counter which worked beautifully in a short amount of time. Drying time varies depending on how thick or thin you rolled them.
Tips:
- Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will give you the best results, as they have a higher yolk-to-white ratio and a firmer texture.
- Bring eggs to room temperature before cooking: This will help them cook more evenly.
- Don't overcook your eggs: Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they reach your desired doneness.
- Season eggs with salt and pepper: Salt and pepper are classic seasonings that will enhance the flavor of your eggs.
- Add other seasonings or ingredients to taste: You can add a variety of seasonings and ingredients to your eggs to create different flavors. Some popular additions include cheese, bacon, ham, vegetables, and herbs.
Conclusion:
Eggs are a versatile and delicious ingredient that can be cooked in a variety of ways. With a little practice, you can master the art of cooking eggs and create delicious dishes that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, reach for a few eggs and get creative!
