Top 25 Skinny Recipes 2012

As we come to the year’s end, I can’t help but reflect on the highs and lows of 2012, and try to imagine what 2013 will bring. Today is a gift we should grasp with both hands, and remember that our faith, family, health, our home sweet homes, and the food on our table are all we really need; everything else in life is a bonus!

But looking back, there were lots of Skinnytaste highlights this year, the top of the list was a book deal with Clarkson Potter[1] – woohoo!!! I’ve been really busy testing new recipes for the cookbook, then comes the photography, book design, cover designs, lots of fun stuff ahead! I promise to keep you posted as I go through the process.

I can’t express how grateful and thankful
I am for all of your support. Your comments, emails, the photos you share with me on Instagram[2], Twitter[3] and Facebook[4] mean so much to me. Nothing would be possible without you.

I went through my recipes and picked out some favorites that would be perfect if you are hosting a New Year’s party. Some served cold, others hot, a perfect combination to make any table proud.

    Shredded Beef Chile Relleno Casserole

    Shredded Beef Chile Relleno Casserole

    by Pam on December 2, 2012

    I had leftover shredded beef[1] from my favorite taco recipe[2] and extra taco fixings in the refrigerator to use up. Instead of making more tacos, I decided to throw it all together and make a chile relleno casserole.  It was fun and simple to make, smelled amazing while it baked, and tasted fantastic.  I loved it topped with the fresh avocado, tomatoes, and green onions and served with homemade salsa[3] and sour cream.

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9×9 baking dish with cooking spray.

    Combine eggs, flour, and sour cream together then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste; mix thoroughly.

    Add a layer of the chiles evenly on the bottom of the baking dish. Spread a bit of shredded beef (click this link for recipe)[4] over each chile then sprinkle with a few black beans and top with a bit of shredded cheese. Drizzle half of the egg mixture over the top of the cheese. Repeat by laying down the remaining chiles, shredded beef, and black beans. Drizzle the remaining egg mixture evenly over the top then sprinkle with the cheese so it’s evenly covered. Place the olives evenly over the top of the cheese.

    Place into the oven and bake at 30-35 minutes, or until the egg is cooked through. Let it sit for a few minutes before slicing and topping with green onion, avocado, and tomato. Serve with sour cream and salsa. Enjoy!
