Creamy Poblano Chicken.

Hi there

This is the first time I post here, so I hope I'm tagging this correctly.

I often cook this dish when I have guests over for dinner and receive a lot of praise for it. There hasn't been a single time when I haven't been asked for the recipe, so this one is a crowd pleaser! :D

That looks so tasty. Too bad my husband's allergic to dairy. I wonder if there's such a thing as non-dairy sour cream.

Hi there! :)

I'm so happy that you saw and liked the look of my recipe, even though your better half can't eat it. In answer to your musings about non dairy sour cream I can tell you that the brand "Tofutti" is quite popular with vegans because of their dairy free product line. Here is a link to their website in case you are interested:

Thanks so much for replying to my post. Hearing back from someone made my day, since I'm new around here and I'm trying to make friends. :)

Oooh, looks interesting - can I ask how many it serves?

[kneecap_cooks]

Thanks! I'm really glad that you are interested in this recipe. :)

In answer to your question this serves between 6-10 people, depending on their appetite. It's usually enough when I cook it for 'girl-only nights', but as soon as there are men in the party I have to double the amount of ingredients.

Do you mind if I friend you? I'm new around here and don't know anyone yet...

[peaceful_sands]

If you'd like to :D

You might like omnomnom which is a food and recipe related comm. There's also in_a_pickle which is about preserving and pickling although it does have a tendency to be quieter. I've got a couple of other food/cooking related comms on my circle but they are even quieter still!

Oh, thanks so much!

I'll go right ahead and friend you, then, and I'll check out these two communities as well. I've been trying to find groups to exchange recipes with for a while, but haven't managed to find anything other than a few food bloggers who just post their own stuff for others to use, there's just no opportunity to have a real conversation there, so... I'm hoping to be more lucky here! :)

Yeah we love recipe posts here! Buuuut, it sometimes depends on various factors how much activity any post gets, especially because it's not a food-specific group.

Things are pretty stressful for me and I haven't been able to devote as much time as I'd originally hoped to making lots of posts to get things started at being active either, so that hasn't helped as far as getting more members/more participation.

Good luck finding a place that has lots of chat about food and cooking! If you find a good one feel free to tell us about it over here!

Looks yummy!

I went to culinary school for 2 years and I've always liked to cook and feel like I'm pretty good at it (even before the culinary school).

[kneecap_cooks]

I get it that this isn't a food-specific group, but since it was all about hobbies I thought I'd try posting here to see if anyone was interested in cooking.

I promise not to flood you guys with all my recipes at once, just one or two, if anyone shows interest in this topic.

I'll make sure to leave either a note or a link around here if I find something interesting. Would you guys accept a link to a cooking community that I just joined over at LJ? I don't want to post that and ruffle people's feathers, since that is a different journal altogether, so I thought I'd ask first.

I hope things calm down for you soon and you get the time to get things rolling in the community, it looks like a wonderful idea. :)

Thanks so much for showing interest in my post. Would you mind it terribly if I friended you? I'm new around here and I'm trying to make new friends...

Cheers! :)

[kneecap_cooks]

Thanks so much! :)

Oh! I'd have loved to go to culinary school. I cook a lot and I'm pretty enthusiastic about it but I can't chop an onion with the same flair that people who've gone through training so often show... it makes me madly jealous every time! ;)

Do you have any interesting recipes for all of us to try? I'd love to get a recipe exchange going around here for all the folks out there who might be interested in cooking.

Also would you mind it terribly if I friended you? I just joined DW and I'm trying to make new friends...

[becomingkate]

That's fine, but just know that I don't usually talk much about cooking or share recipes. I talk about my son and husband a lot and I suffer from depression, so I understand if that's not really what you're looking for.

What I do is, I have a bunch of staple recipes I'm pretty good at and can just whip up, and if I'm looking for something I've never made I either look up Alton Brown to see if he's made it or I go to pinterest and look at the most popular recipes for whatever I'm looking for.

Don't worry about chopping onions, I still suck at it. In fact I do a lot of "chopping" in the food processor, especially if I'm making a lot.

[kneecap_cooks]

LOL. Oh! I feel a lot better now that I know I don't have to worry all that much about my abysmal onion-chopping technique around you. :)

I'm fine with making friendships that aren't based only around cooking, so I think I'll friend you anyway. :)

I am also a mother of two (11 and 10 years old respectively) so I'm pretty sure that we can exchange motherhood woes, while bragging -or complaining, depending on the day- about our better halves :)

[becomingkate]

Oh good! We have had some struggles with behavior at home. Maybe you'll have some tips for that. My son is turning 7 on Sunday. :) Feel free to read back a bit.
