General cooking tips

Buy Local Food : It’s easy to take locally abundant foods for granted when they’re in season, but you can enjoy many locally produced foods out of season by stocking up. Storing big baskets of hazelnuts (in the Northwest) or pecans (in the Southeast) will come naturally if you start thinking like a squirrel. Look for foods that keep well, such as nuts, honey, winter squash and sweet potatoes and stock up.


Microwave Tip : Microwave ovens use around 50 percent less energy than conventional ovens; they're most efficient for small portions or defrosting. For large meals, stovetop cooking is usually more efficient

Ingredients And Procedures

8 oz Cream cheese, softened

1 1/8 ts Garlic power

3 tb Dried, minced onion

8 Flour tortillas, 8 to 10"

1/4 lb Thin sliced rst turkey*

Soften cream cheese, drain can of chilies, set out other ingredients. Place cream cheese, milk, garlic, onion flakes, and salt in bowl. Beat until fluffy. Stir in chilies and cilantro leaves. Brush both sides of a tortilla with water. Spread one side of torilla with thin layer of the cream cheese mixture. Cover torilla with a layer of the sliced meat. Roll up and place on plate, repeat. Cover plate with plastic wrap and refrigerate from 1 to 8 hours. Cut into 1/2-inch slices and serve. Makes about 4 dozen appetizers. * Pre-packaged "Buddig" style meats work well for everyday occasions. # Many supermarkets now carry small plastic containers of spices at one price. I've found that 1 container of cilantro (.15 oz) is satisfactory for most occasions, even though less than 3 Tablespoons.
