What is your 'signature' dish?

shoeboxx · November 2010

I know, I'm posting a lot about food today, but since it's fall, I'm in the mood to cook.

My signature dish is mac and cheese. Not to toot my own horn, but people always tell me how great it is, yummy! I have not made any in a year though, I hope I can still make it yumtastic.

Cheesy potluck potatoes! I was at a first bday party yesterday and my friends mom asked why my potatoes weren't there. Haha! They are very yummy!

Chicken Fajitas with onions and peppers sauted in the skillet. The seasoning combo is what makes it so good.

Tortilla soup in general. For the holidays though, I am always asked to make the green beans. Mainly because I am not really confident enough to tackle something harder! Haha

Anything stir fry. I can make any combo of veggies, protein and homemade asian sauces taste fantastic. It's never the same thing twice.

I have a few.

For family gatherings, it's my Bourbon Salmon or Hawaiian chicken. For work potlucks, it's my spinach dip and beer bread.

I also make a mean spinach & artichoke dip that my friends always request.

Everyone always request my Mac n Cheese, which is really a variation of Tyler's Ultimate Mac n Cheese.

Everyone knows me for my desserts though, mainly cheese cakes and pies.

I'm always told that I am a cleaver cook b/c I always try to make something different, and it's usually very good.

My main signature dish is Lasagna. However I also get request for stuffed mushrooms, homemade cheese ball, and Dirt Cake.

BTW I would love recipes for the signature dishes listed above! Thanks!

Not at all!

Every time I make these I do it slightly differently, so there are a lot of modifications in parentheses.

Part 1: Prepare the squash
Preheat oven to 450
Chunk up your squash. The smaller the pieces, the quicker they will cook through, but the more surface area you leave out there to dry. I usually do halves and leave the rind on until later for ease. Paint the surfaces with olive oil and put the chunks in roaster or ceramic baking dish. Roast for about an hour. (I have also steamed the squash and microwaved the whole squash and had good results.)

Part 2: Prepare your mixin's
1. Dice 2 large tomatoes and a small/med red onion
2. Mash up two avocados and add some spices: I do generous helpings of Cumin, Cayenne and Black Pepper. (One night I cut into two rotten avocados and had to use fat free refried beans as a substitute. Was good.)
3. Shred some cheddar cheese or get the bag ready.
4. In a food processor, put the roasted squash (rind removed) together with some sour cream to make it smooth. I never measure how much I use...but it's a couple big scoops.
(5. I have also used black beans and cilantro. was good.)

Part 3: Build your Enchiladas
0. Cover the bottom with a generous layer of enchilada sauce (I buy mine.)
1. Using taco-sized tortillas put a generous tablespoon of the squash mixture and a smaller one of the avocado mixture. Sprinkle with mixin's and roll up like a tube.
2. Lay them out side by side until the pan is filled.
3. Sprinkle with cheese and bake until the cheese is melty and happy.

Eat em up.
