Chicken Green-Chile Casserole + Cherry Caflouti

This is a great recipe to serve a crowd. Toss a salad, and you're all set. I made my own chicken broth and added a little chile in adobo sauce for extra heat.

Tonight for dessert I made a cherry caflouti with in season cherries that were on sale this week. I caflouti is like a thin pancake batter with fruit. Pears, bananas--almost any fresh fruit will work in a caflouti. Cherries are classic. Again, serves 8. Cheap ingredients. I made the "lighter" version without cream and butter. It is rich enough. We can eat the leftover for breakfast. Yum! This dish is a French peasant dish! Egalite! Fraternite! Why is peasant food always so tasty?

We decided we were the only couple in Foxborough eating the Mexican main dish and the French peasant dessert, then we decided we were the only couple in the entire universe eating this meal. Diversity in the kitchen, as well as in the work place and the classroom, is a good thing.
