What kind of Oatmeal? The "Quick cook oats" kind? The instant, or the old-fashioned kind?

My mom used the old fashioned kind. I used the quick kind and actually added about 1/2 c. more to be safe. If you use the old fashioned, it definitely needs to sit over night to get really plump.


The 9x9 pan is great, because it was nice and pudding-y in the middle and had a nice crisp around the sides. Not too thick, not too thin. Just right!

I rub my eyes after a good chile chopping, Puts hair on my back!

Pork in Green Chile sauce.

Take two pounds of pork - you can use chops, tenderloin anything- I have cooked pork shoulders then taken off a chunk for the recipe.

Cube up the meat about one inch cubes and toss it into a stockpot to sear it, You do not have to cook it through, just enough to brown it-set aside.

1 pound of tomatillos,
4 garlic cloves,
One med onion, quartered
One jalapeno
three anaheim chiles.
3 yellow chiles
bunch of cilantro.


Take tomatillos, husk and wash them
wash and seed all the chiles.
peel garlic

I leave a yellow and jalapeno chile whole for taste and a little heat!

Take all the chiles, garlic and tomatillos into a pot with enough water to cover and bring to boil for approx 30-35 minutes- the tomatillos will turn a gray color-do not worry.

Place it all into a blender, add your cilantro and salt, to taste, add water from the pot you cooked the veggies in to make the mix soupy.

Add the chile mix to the stock pot with the pork at the bottom and cook for 1 hour on low heat.

You may have to watch the pot closely to see it you added enough water...If you need, add more.


The meat wil finish cooking and will fall apart easier the more you cook it.,

The secret of cooking the whole dish is the thickness of the meat. Chops will cook more quickly than thicker cuts of meat.

Sorry about the 'man's style recipe"

Trust me, it's good!

That baked oatmeal sound DELISH!! I love oatmeal, I snatched that one!

I have been so good lately I wanted to treat myself to something totally sick and chocolatey.


DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME-you'll have all the ingredients there and will probably eat them all up!

The ultimate S'more.....


Graham crackers, Junior mints, marshmallows and peanut butter.

Jr. Mints are mint 'buttons' covered with a shell of chocolate, you can use any kind of mint chocolate if you can't find a junior mint....

Grab your cracker and smear a thin layer of PB on it, then press the Jr. Mints into the PB, burn your marshmallow, press it into the PB and JMs.....

I ate one and felt guilty. I made another one for a dessert snack after lunch....it was whiskers!
