Posted by Ernest. Last dinner from the Salaz family for a little while. :(
This dinner was very easy to make, and as Stella will most likely arrive this week (knock on wood), we didn't put as much prep time as we usually do. Hope it was still satisfying!
We love this coop and we're going to miss it, but we will be back!! All the dishes have been awesome by the way.
Green Chili and Cheese Egg Casserole
2 dozen farm fresh eggs
32 oz. sour cream
3 cups cheddar cheese
5 cans green chiles (fresh would have been tastier)
salt and pepper
Baked till golden brown for 45 minutes. 4 servings total.
Mixed Salad
Organic greens, English cucumber, grape tomatoes, carrots, pitted black olives and just a bit of red onion. We found a few surprise pits so I hope you all didn't get any.
The dressing was left over vinaigrette from last week's quinoa salad. Shhh don't tell anyone.
Watermelon Delight
Cubed, seedless watermelon with coconut shavings, golden raisins and a pinch of salt. Was this an odd epicurean choice? I kinda dug it.
Total - about $25 bucks
