Calabacitas Con Chiles Verdes

Wed, 22 May 2002 18:40:08 -0400

I think that New Mexico has a law on the books that says that everyone has to eat squash regularly. That's okay, because once you've tried this 'squash and chiles', you will like squash! PS zucchini is a green squash...or you can use yellow squash. -- posted by wildheart

Indian Sqaw Bread

Tue, 29 Mar 2005 15:26:04 -0500

I made this for my children when they wanted donuts for breakfast and I didn't want to get out just as my Mother did for me growing up. It's inexpensive and quick to make. My friends and I now enjoy them with our morning coffee get togethers. The biscuits puff up to just the right bite size. -- posted by Country Cook in Oklahoma

Adzuki Bean Soup

Sat, 09 Apr 2005 11:52:26 -0400

This is a mild soup that is healthy, simple, and quick. I used more soy sauce and I replaced the cubed squash with some pureed that I had in the freezer. I also added cayenne and red pepper flakes. I am also thinking some broth might be good in place of the water, for added flavor. From Eden Organic Foods. -- posted by Vino Girl

Mexican Fried Rice

Mon, 20 Jun 2005 22:25:17 -0400

My husband rarely would eat rice until he tasted this recipe. My Native American great grandmother passed on her recipes to my grandmother, who in turn added, deleted and passed on to my mother, who in turn added, deleted & passed on to me. I never saw any of them ever measure anything, it was always a dash,pinch,palm or handful(s)etc. Every stage was taste tested for preference. The below recipe is my modern version of what was handed down from my great grandmother. *maple flavored bacon is an added surprize (Kids love it). **Best to start with cold cooked rice (left overs?) ***This dish is savory & spicy enough to not include salt & pepper in the ingredients-let each individual salt & paper to taste. ****This was always served with my mothers cracklin corn bread, another great recipe Ill try & share later when I can figure out the measurements! lol -- posted by Mary Sorg

Potato Puff

Thu, 03 Nov 2005 20:04:47 -0500

This is one of those comfort foods my mom makes for me when I was sick as a child. I have always been "sickly" and had pneumonia quite a bit and had to even be home schooled for a while in 1st grade. I could manage to keep this down because it's pretty light and it made me feel special because she always made it at my request. -- posted by Redneck Epicurean

Three Sisters Harvest Stew

Fri, 13 Jan 2006 22:00:08 -0500

This comes from a great book. Cooking Like a Goddess by Cait Johnson. The "sisters" are corn, squash, and beans. This is a hearty vegetable stew that'll warm you body and soul after a crisp fall day of raking leaves. Pair with crusty bread and apple cider, mmmmm. I've served this with great success at quite a few pot-lucks. -- posted by Kitsune

Fried Bread (I Call It Bannock)

Thu, 16 Mar 2006 15:48:38 -0500

This has taken me 9 years to perfect. First I was given the dry ingredients then for about 4 years I made it one way, then I seen my cousin make hers and knowing she comes from an awesome Fried Bread making family I tinkered with the water until I got the right consistency, that was another 5 years. The cooking time includes the minimum amount of time it needs to sit. -- posted by tasb

Chicken, Corn, and Potato Stew

Tue, 30 May 2006 17:48:07 -0400

It looks like there is a lot to do here but it all goes quickly, especially if you use a food processor to grate the russets! The russet potatoes should dissolve and thicken the stew nicely. Talk about comfort food this is it! I'm guessing at the servings as we now have only myself and my DH at home and we had lots left. Excellent with cornbread. -- posted by Annacia

Indian Fry Bread - Midwest

Thu, 22 Feb 2007 16:49:02 -0500

Southwest fry bread is flat, growing up in the midwest we used to have soup with fry bread that had nooks and crannys that butter, honey and jelly pooled into. So far this is the best recipe to mimick that fry bread we had at school. -- posted by Chemaine

First time I had this was during "Indian Taco" day for hot lunch at the school where I was a teacher on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana. This was served at all the pow-wows out there!

Barona Valley Ranch Fry Bread

Wed, 05 Mar 2008 23:53:21 -0500

The Sage Cafe at Barona Valley Ranch serves this Fry Bread between the hours of 5 and 11 PM. It is OUTSTANDING. Hands down it is the best fry bread I've ever eaten. Top with honey, butter and/or powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar and you'll swear you're eating manna from heaven. We like it so much we asked for the recipe and were quite pleasantly surprised that they freely hand it out! So - here it is, I'm sharing it with you. Enjoy! ETA: You may need to add a tiny bit more water to this, make sure it is hot. Also, don't roll too thin, or they'll fry up crispier than they should. -- posted by Color Guard Mom

Venison Zucchini Bake

Sun, 26 Oct 2008 17:16:26 -0400

Also known as: "Guwakaan Dleeyí & Dzískw Dleeyí" From the SEARHC (SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium) website comes a recipe for using the extra venison and/or moose that it seems many Alaskans have in their freezers. "Deer and moose meat are lean alternatives to ground beef, and the vegetables work towards your goal of eating 5 fruits and vegetables each day. Serve this dish with cornbread or whole grain rolls, and you've got the makings of a terrific meal." -- posted by Uncle Dobo
