[Lady Catharine]

OMG~~~

Those chops were outstanding!!!

Husband had seconds..well we split the 2nd one..

Baked on low -tender and moist..

Thanks~

[Dillasandra]

You're quite welcome. Discovered it pretty much by accident myself, and promptly made it a permanant part of my cooking.

Not only that......I'm discovering new uses for buttermilk every day, including using it in place of the regular milk AND butter in a mac and cheese. A LOT less fat, and thick and creamy as you could ever desire!

[Lady Catharine]

Dont drynk mlilk, if a recipe calls I use 2%.
Used to drynk skim, not even that.

Mac and Cheese eh?

Oh dont tell me ..you know I'll follow thru..Yesterday husband asked what I used on the chops..yummo~~~



***makes mental note to make that my staple***

[Dillasandra]

Yeah, it's a staple of mine now. Also keep it around to drink occasionally when my ulcer kicks up!

[Lady Catharine]

I was first inroduced to it 25 years plus, by an old flame...

I like it...

[Dillasandra]

My grandfathers both loved it, so I've been drinking it all my life.....just never dawned on to me to COOK with it til' recently. I sprinkle coarse ground black pepper on top, via my grandpas too!

[Lady Catharine]

so on the mac n cheese- when the recipe calls for milk and cheese you sub that that for it?

[Dillasandra]

No, if I'm making a quick Kraft thing, I use buttermilk in place of the regular milk and butter called for. If I'm making homeade, I do the same, but use plenty of real cheddar. I haven't tried using the buttermilk when BAKING a mac-n-cheese, so I can't say as yet how that turns out.

[Lady Catharine]

mac n cheese is a great Winter staple..

I'm going to experiment and I'll let you know..

always into new recipes..

Okay everyone. Here is the recipe for the Taco dish I brought to cleanup the 1 time. This is for you BB.

Pep time 30 min Servings 56

1(1 ounce)package seasoning mix(but since I added 3 # of groundmeat I used 3 packs of seasoning)

1(16 ounce) can refried beans

1 (8 ounce)package cream cheese softened

1 (16 ounce)container sour cream

1(16 ounce) jar of your choice salsa

1 tomatoe chopped

1 greenpeper chopped

6 green onions chopped ( more if you like)

half head of iceburg lettuce shredded -can use romain if you perfer. Use your own judement then.

1 (6 ounce)can sliced black olives drained

package of chedder cheese

Brown the groundmeat drain and add taco mix.
Spread the refried beans in the 13 by 9 pan. Add meat.
Mix the sour cream and cream cheese in bowl. Spread over the refried beans.
Top the layers with salsa. Place a layer of tomatoe,green pepper,green onions and lettuce over the salsa and top with chedder cheese and black olives.

I used soft taco shells but you also can use chips depending how you want to serve this dish as a meal or just a side dish.

[Dillasandra]

Yeah, that stuff is GOOD! Sometimes I add a layer of guacamole to mine..............

[Lady Catharine]

Hey Hep, did U know that lettuce ,prepackaged, is already shredded?

Your salad sounds fabulous,except I would have to alter it..no tomatoes, no salsa.
and NO refried tooters!

[Hephzibah]

Lady C yes I do know that you can get it shredded from the store but I just prefer to do myself.

[Dillasandra]

Yeah. Fresher that way, too......if messier!
