I really should make my own cookbook which would be the biggest bestseller of all time in the history of books. Here are a few of my favorite recipes, some of them Jen Creations, others-things I just love. Try them out and report back to me. Do it!!
Bean Bowl
This is a simple dish requiring items you should already have on hand and if you don't, shame on you!
Ingredients:
1 can black beans
tortillas
tortilla chips
salsa
sour cream
shredded cheese
lime juice
Directions:
1. Tear tortilla (or 1/2 tortilla) into bite-sized strips and place in a bowl.
2. Crunch up tortilla chips and place them on top of the tortilla strips in bowl. (Hey! Tortilla chips 'n strips! heh heh..)
3. Pour heated beans (1/3 can should be enough for one person) over tortilla stuff.
4. Pour some salsa on top.
5. Dab a generous spoonful of sour cream on top of that.
6. Sprinkle shreeded cheese liberally over all the contents.
7. Squirt lime juice (I use the juice from a plastic lime) all over the place and use as much as you want, or more.
Enjoy!
Puff Pancakes
Ingredients:
1 c. milk
1 c. flour
6 eggs
2-3 T butter or less
Directions:
Time yourself to see how fast it takes you to:
1. Turn oven on to 425 degrees
2. Put butter in a big glass dish (2-3 qrt) and place dish in oven
3. Mix in bowl the eggs, milk, and flour and pour into dish w/melted butter.
4. Put dish in oven for however long it takes for your pancake to get sufficient puffs and/or until it's nice and golden brown. (usually 18-24 min)
Eat with syrup, jam, powdered sugar, or whatever the hey you want. And, feel good about eating a meal consisting of 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup flour, 3 eggs, and some butter. I mean, i don't eat half of the pan...uhh..

Nothing says Jen quite like a grape sandwich. After I mentioned to Trevor's grandma that you like grape sandwiches, she admitted that she likes to make onion sandwiches. Yikes.
I treasure the card in my recipe box that contains the "Jen Deluxe" directions. It's pure Jen and it makes me happy. :)
I can't help but notice a lack of EATMOT...that's coming in the "best of recipes a la jen," right?
