Food Wednesday

 Greetings!

Well, I'm getting a late start today for this post and Food Wednesday with Cathy. 

One day of glorious sunshine, yesterday, and now back to rain and wind. I had to get up early to cover the garden.

Anyway, as promised the snicker doodle recipe coming up. First though how about Mexican lasagna?

It is so good, easy to make and just as easy to make meatless. I make mine in an instant pot but it can be over baked as well.

You will need ground meat or tofu, (I had left over chili and added it) grated and seasoned cheese, onions, kernel corn, olives, chilies and tortillas.

Grate and season cheese with Mexican spices. The set aside.	Chop and saute onions. Remove from pan and set aside.
Brown any kind of ground or shredded mean. Or crumble stiff tofu and brown. Set aside.	Take a dinner plate and lay out a piece of foil at least double the size. You will be folding this over the lasagna. Get all ingredients ready to assemble.
I used corn tortillas. Dip the tortilla in hot oil for a few seconds on each side. Set on paper towels and pat off excess oil. Then set on foil and add a layer of cheese.	Add a layer of meat.
Add onions, olives, and chilies.	Add Corn
Add Chili	Top with a bit more cheese. Can never have too much cheese. LOL
Add a tortilla and layer again. If you layer from the outside in your ingredients will be flat and even.	Once you have all the layers you want, I make 3, then wrap the foil up around and secure the top and sides. Place in an instant pot with 2 cups of water.
Place on the lid and on manual set 25 minutes. Or place in oven at 375°F for 30 minutes	Once done carefully open the foil.
Add some sour cream and serve. It is so darn good.	For dessert, snicker doodles.

Snicker Doodles 

You will need

 3C APF all purpose flour, 2t cream of tartar, 1t backing soda, 1 1/2 t ground cinnamon, 1/2t salt, 1 C butter, 1 1/3C granulated sugar, 1 large egg + 1 large egg yolk, 2t vanilla extract. Extra sugar and cinnamon in a bowl to top the cookies.

 Preheat oven to 375°F 190°C and line cookie sheets with parchment. In a bowl make

 Mix together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a medium bowl and set aside. In a larger bowl cream butter and sugar, then add egg and egg yolk and vanilla. Add flour mixture 1/3 at a time. Using a tablespoon scoop dough then dip top into the cinnamon sugar. Place on cookie sheet. Once this is done wet finger tips and gently flatten the dough. Not too much. Bake and enjoy.

Bonus. The best way to mix seasoning into cheese is to bounce the bowl. 

I hope you enjoyed the post and will try these recipes.
