Just in case there is another weird (similar to me) person out there I made this up last night.
Gluten free chocolate cookie pie crust smeared with peanut butter and set aside. Blend until smooth a box of silken extra firm tofu, a banana, 4 (a lot I know) Tablespoons cocoa powder and just enough sugar to sweeten a little. Blend until smooth. Pour into pie crust. Chill until 1/2 frozen. mmmmm. Very dark chocolate, very smooth. It could be made with an avocado instead of banana if you don't want the banana taste. A splash of vanilla would have been nice too, but I was out. Yum! Daughter loved it too. The filling is not as thick as I'd like but the taste is what I wanted.

I'm back from camping! Survived the night and no bears came. My friends' son gallantly made me take his bed in the camper and slept in the tent with my son. Their dogs insisted on sleeping with me - they like to sleep right in the bed, which both disturbed my sleep and kept me warm, so I'm not sure if it was good or not!
Sorry I can't reply to all the posts, but I'm thinking of those who are dealing with difficulties, and cheering with those who have had successes. I have to go and shower off the campfire smell and have a little snooze now.0 -

What is a taco?!?! Other than delicious Mexican food, which I can only assume is not what you're referring to in this particular context.
Toyota Tacoma and now I want the Mexican food version lol.
Sigh. I may make the best chile rellenos in the world (no sense in false modesty =P) but there's no way I am touching that recipe until I am deeply entrenched in maintenance eating. I sure love that stuff, though.
Teach me your ways! When I lived in Tucson I got decent at cooking a variety of Mexican foods, but rellenos avoided me.
Edit: Spelling is hard.
Glad to oblige - I love sharing recipes! The most common missteps I see with rellenos are using a flour-based batter and using (oh please god don't do this) enchilada sauce instead of salsa.
Anyway, here is a good traditional recipe, and I apologize to others on this thread that it is so long:
Chile Rellenos
Ingredients
3 C. high-quality roasted-tomato salsa (translation: Don't go buy the stuff in jars at the grocery). Some people prefer a Salsa Verde, which can be lovely as well. Either way, I prefer to make my own. Let me know if you want a recipe - it's easy to make! These days, many stores carry pretty good fresh salsas.
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. kosher salt (measured) plus additional to taste
4 whole medium-sized Poblano or Anaheim chiles (about 1 lb.)
Note: Anaheim chiles are slightly milder than Poblano. I prefer Poblano because they are wider and easier to work with, plus I find their flavor a bit richer. They are only a little hotter than Anaheims.
3 C. shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 C. vegetable oil of your choice
4 large eggs, separated and at room temperature. Note: Separate the eggs when they're cold, then bring them to room temp. Make SURE there is no yolk mixed in with the egg whites or they won't froth up properly.
Directions
Warm the salsa in a small saucepan and hold it at that temp while you work on the chiles.
Heat the oven to 250.
Put a wire cooling rack on a baking sheet and set aside.
Make a "T" shaped cut in each chile, with the top bar being about half an inch from the stem and the long cut running nearly the whole length of the chile. Don't cut off the stem end completely - you need the chile to be a little container
Carefully open the flaps of the cut and use a paring knife and/or spoon to gently remove the core, ribs, and seeds.
If you have a gas stove, turn a burner to medium-high and roast each chile by putting it directly on the burner and turning with tongs for 5-7 minutes or until the skin on all sides is blistered and has blackened spots. OR turn your broiler to high and put the chiles on a rack. Broil 8-9 minutes, turning with tongs, until skin on all sides is blistered/blackened. Chiles broiled this way will be a tad softer, so be careful when working with them.
Remove the chiles to a large bowl, cover tightly, and let sit until they are cool enough to handle (they will continue to steam, which makes the skins easier to remove). Then use a butter knife to GENTLY scrape away and discard the skins.
Yes, I know this is more of a hassle than just buying canned chiles, but roasting the fresh chiles like this is one of the keys to making the dish really amazing (the others are good salsa and the correct batter).
Season the chiles inside and out with salt and black pepper. Stuff each with a generous 2/3 C. of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese, then close flaps (you can use a wooden skewer if you like) and set aside.
Whisk the egg yolks in a medium bowl until light in color and frothy (about 2 minutes).
Add 1/2 tsp. salt to the egg whites and use a mixer to beat until stiff peaks form (about 1.5 minutes)
Add the egg yolks to the whites and gently fold them in with a spatula until they are just barely combined. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until it's quite hot - about 4 minutes.
Work with one chile at a time. Drop 1/2 C. of the egg batter into the oil and use a spatula to spread it out to about the same size as the chile. Lay the chile cut-side down on top of the batter. Drop another 1/2 C. of batter on top and use a spatula to spread it evenly around the rest of the chile, covering all but the stem.
Cook until the bottom is golden-brown (2-3 minutes). Then use a spatula + a fork to carefully turn the relleno over and cook for another 2-3 minutes. If you need to, use a spatula or tongs to stand it on each side to brown. Place the relleno on the rack that's on the baking sheet, and put into the oven to keep warm. Do the same with the remaining chiles as you finish them.
To serve, put 1/3 C. of the warmed roasted tomato salsa on a plate and top with a chile relleno. Serve additional salsa on the side. If you don't like salsa (sacrilege!) you could serve them over fire-roasted tomatoes.
@Caitwn if you (or anyone else who actually uses computers every now and then instead of doing everything on a smartphone) want to copy and paste into the super great recipes.0 -

I tell my mum it's her favourite child. I have a brother. I also got a card that said 'I love how we don't have to say out loud I'm your favourite child' I was in America on mother's day and got whatapps from my brother, first of him holding up the card with a downturned expression on his face, followed by a picture of his middle finger.0 -
