Since we can't post in the recipes section anymore I guess I'll post some here... mods feel free to move it but seems as though AllCndboy only has those powers... anyway I saw this online today... I will put a disclaimer and say IT"S PROBABLY NOT LOW IN CALORIES but looks so damn good I'm not sure I care... (and no I dont have cal stats for it either)

Poblanos with Potato and Oaxaca Cheese

- serves 2 -
Ingredients

1/2 pound red potatoes, sliced
2 cloves garlic
2 poblano peppers
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 ounces Oaxacan cheese (Monterey Jack will also work)
Salt
Procedure

1. Char the poblanos under the broiler, turning them every three minutes or so, until they have blackened on all sides. Remove the peppers, turn off the broiler, and place the peppers in a plastic bag. Let them steam for 15 minutes. Remove the skin and seeds, and roughly chop.

2. Meanwhile, place the sliced red potatoes in a large pot. Cover with cold water, a tablespoon of salt, and turn the heat to medium. Cook until the potatoes can be easily punctured with a fork. This will take about 15 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the water the potatoes cook in.

3. Pour the reserved water into a blender. Also add the garlic and poblanos. Process the mixture until chunky.

4. Heat the oil in a large skillet. Pour in the pepper mixture and let cook for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally. Add the potatoes to the mixture. Let cook for seven minutes, stirring to cover the potatoes in the sauce.

5. Shred the cheese and toss it in the skillet. Cover and continue to cook until it has melted, about a minute or so.

Here is the website which I think you should read because it gives a small blurb on way Oaxacan cheese is a better choice than MJ.
 
Sounds good! Yeah I hate that about the recipe forum. I tried to post a recipe there this morning. I do not have privileges lol.

there have been a few recipes posted in the recipes forum, not by me :D that I know the nutrtion info is off...

Now I'm sure the person who posted them had good intentions... but different products do have different nutritional info..
 
That's so very Mean Girls of you.

It also made me laugh because while it would be mean, part of me thinks it would be funny too.

lol Yes it would be. Seeing some of the unrealistic calorie goals that I we get here though you would probably be doing them a favor.
 
I bet it was Rachel Ray... she's a cook AND wore that oh-so-noted scarf. I bet she fist bumps with the produce guy.

lmao, well played. I hear all of those meals really take 45 minutes to prepare. She trys to make us do them in 30 minutes in the hopes that we will injure our trigger fingers.

I'm good in the kitchen but I always double the recommended amount of time noted because it takes that long at least. I watch her show and yeah... I don't know how she can make a bbq chicken pizza, while needing to cook the chicken first, and then she makes at least one veggie that requires cooking... but I guess 45 minute meals doesn't really make for a good time slot.
