Bella's Chicken Enchiladas

Something else Bella makes for Charlie.

Bella's Chicken Enchiladas

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breast
Salt and pepper
2 teaspoons cumin powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon Mexican Spice Blend
1 red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
5 canned whole green chiles, seeded and coarsely chopped
4 canned chipotle chiles, seeded and minced
1 (28-ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon all-purpose flour
16 corn tortillas
1 1/2 cups enchilada sauce, canned
1 cup shredded Cheddar and Jack cheeses
Garnish: chopped cilantro leaves, chopped scallions, sour cream, chopped tomatoes

Coat large saute pan with oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Brown chicken over medium heat, allow 7 minutes each side or until no longer pink. Sprinkle chicken with cumin, garlic powder and Mexican spices before turning. Remove chicken to a platter, allow to cool.
Saute onion and garlic in chicken drippings until tender. Add corn and chiles. Stir well to combine. Add canned tomatoes, saute 1 minute.
Pull chicken breasts apart by hand into shredded strips. Add shredded chicken to saute pan, combine with vegetables. Dust the mixture with flour to help set.

Microwave tortillas on high for 30 seconds. This softens them and makes them more pliable. Coat the bottom of 2 (13 by 9-inch) pans with a ladle of enchilada sauce. Using a large shallow bowl, dip each tortilla in enchilada sauce to lightly coat. Spoon 1/4 cup chicken mixture in each tortilla. Fold over filling, place 8 enchiladas in each pan with seam side down. Top with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese.

Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 350 degree F oven until cheese melts. Garnish with cilantro, scallion, sour cream and chopped tomatoes before serving. Serve with Spanish rice and beans.

Twilight themed cookies

I am based in Australia, so place a comment below if you need to know any conversions or equivalent items. I make mine with Malt extract syrup, but honey can be used instead for a slightly sweeter taste.

Twilight Biscuits

Makes: 20-30 biscuits

2 cups flour
½ cup malt extract (or honey or golden syrup)
½ cup sugar
3 tbsp butter
2 tbsp water
½ tsp bicarb soda

Put all ingredients except the flour into a saucepan and dissolve over a moderate heat. When dissolved, remove from heat and stir in the flour.

Chill mixture in fridge in covered bowl for 10-15 minutes (or longer if required) to make the dough a more suitable consistency for rolling.

Roll out thin on a lightly floured surface. Cut out with you favourite cutter shapes. Brush lightly with milk. Bake in moderate oven (180°C/350°F) until lightly golden brown. (approx 10 minutes – depending on size and thickness of biscuit)

For Choc malt version, substitute 2 tbsp flour for 2 tbsp cocoa and add with flour into mixture

For red mixture add 1/2 teaspoon of pillarbox red colouring.

For hand shape i cut the hand in plain mixture. Brush it lightly with milk, then placed a red circle cut from the red dough on top with a indentation at the base. A small amount of chocolate dough was placed at the top for the apple stem and then the whole biscuit was brushed lightly with milk again before baking. The Swiss flag was done similarly using red dough as the base and strips of plain dought for the cross.

Cutter Shapes i used included:
* Hand shape
* scone cutter (for apple on hand)
*dog/wolf
*bear
*apple

Other suggestions would be
*lion
*lamb

La Bella Italia’s Mushroom Ravioli

Here’s a recipe for Mushroom Ravioli that may differ slightly from what they would serve at La Bella Italia, but is much easier to make than some of the other recipes I came across. Plus the real La Bella Italia doesn't serve mushroom ravioli anyway! I think the creaminess of the filling with a crisp outer shell would make these a delicious appetizer to serve at your next Twilight themed party! You can also buy pre-made mushroom ravioli from Alfonso Gourmet Pasta.

La Bella Italia’s Mushroom Ravioli

8 oz button mushrooms
1 tbsp butter
1 medium-sized shallot
1 small bunch of chives
1 ½ tbsp salt
4-6 oz skim ricotta cheese
48 wonton wrappers
Water
Canola oil for pan frying

In a food processor, add button mushrooms (cut in quarters), shallot, and chives and pulse until finely chopped.
Heat butter in a small saucepan.
Add mushroom mixture and salt, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms turn a light shade of brown and the shallot is translucent. Make sure it’s kind of salty – you’ll be adding ricotta to the ravioli, and if the mushroom mixture isn’t salty, your ravioli will be bland.
Spoon 1 tsp of the mushroom mix on the middle of a wonton, then top with 1 tsp ricotta cheese.
Moisten the edge of the wrapper with water, bring two opposite corners together and form a triangle. It’s better if you work from the middle of the wonton and push out – this will push out air pockets.
Repeat until all wontons are used.
Heat canola oil in a large pan (over med-high heat).
Add ravioli.
Flip the ravioli after about 90 seconds.
Cook for another 30 seconds and add about 2 tbsp of water to the pan. Turn heat down to medium.
Cover and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Serve with marinara for dipping or with your favorite tomato or white sauce as you would boiled ravioli.

Steak and Potatoes for Charlie

The first reference to food in Twilight is to Bella making Charlie marinated steak, baked potatoes, and a salad. Here are recipes that I think Bella would have used for that menu (although, she probably knew them by heart...)

Marinade for Steak

1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Dijon-style prepared mustard
1 onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced

In a medium bowl, combine the oil, soy sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, ground black pepper, mustard, onion, and garlic. Mix together well, and use to marinate your favorite meat.

Foil Baked Potatoes

4 medium baking potatoes, scrubbed
4 tablespoons butter
4 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons salt

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Lay out 4 squares of aluminum foil on the counter. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, and place onto a square of aluminum foil. Place 1/2 tablespoon of butter onto the cut side of each half, then season with garlic powder and salt. Close the potato halves together, and wrap tightly in the aluminum foil.

Bake potatoes directly on the oven rack for 40 minutes, or until tender.

Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing

1/4 cup milk
3 cups mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
4 ounces crumbled blue cheese
2 teaspoons garlic salt

Place the milk, mayonnaise, sour cream, blue cheese and garlic salt in a blender. Cover and process until smooth. Refrigerate until serving with fresh salad greens.

Bella's Lasagna

Bella’s Lasagna

1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 (29 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
12 dry lasagna noodles
2 eggs, beaten
1 pint part-skim ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1 pound mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

In a skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef, onion and garlic; drain fat. Mix in basil, oregano, brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Simmer for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles, and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until al dente; drain. Lay noodles flat on towels, and blot dry.
In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, ricotta, Parmesan cheese, parsley and 1 teaspoon salt.
Layer 1/3 of the lasagna noodles in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover noodles with 1/2 ricotta mixture, 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese and 1/3 of the sauce. Repeat. Top with remaining noodles and sauce. Sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Twilight was born on June 2, 2003

Quoting Jack Morrissey, a producer of Twilight Breaking Dawn 1 and 2

June 2, 2003.

Fourteen years ago this morning, a woman woke from a powerful romantic dream involving two characters in a meadow. Soon she would become a novelist, who would birth a saga that changed our world.

The heart of everything that came after that morning remains this simple, elemental dream of a vampire boy and a human girl. Read what author Stephenie Meyer wrote about it here:
http://StephenieMeyer.com/The-Story-of-Twilight-Getting-Pub…

The course of my life - like so many of yours reading this - has been profoundly altered by this woman, her dream, the fact that she had the wisdom to write it down, and the fortitude to keep writing.

As we say in the small town of Forks, Washington, where she set her epic, Thank you, Stephenie. Forever.

Here's the filmed adaptation of the Meadow Scene from the first film of The Twilight Saga - Twilight - starring Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen and Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan, and directed by Catherine Hardwicke.

Hello everyone!

On April 6, 2010, causette made a post asking if anyone would like to take over this community.

Several weeks ago I happened to see this post and asked her if I could take care of it. So I am now the owner and mod for
the Dreamwidth twilight site and will crosspost to the Livejournal twilightforever site.

This site originally had a great art banner similar to one of the first Twilight movie posters. Now that many people often read on their phones, I chose a mobile friendly layout that has the red, white, and black colors of the book covers.

Everyone is welcome to post and comment. Invite anyone to join.

This is a fan site for posting Twilight events and memories. See the profile for the rules.

Hello! This is a mod post.

This community, twilight is up for grabs. I'm giving it away and hoping that someone will want to adopt it and give it a nice home with the proper love and care it deserves.

Just drop me a comment if you are interested :)
