Well that made me hungry.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Happy Birthday, Nice way to mark the occasion.

happy protein birthday! man, that looks so good!

Damn! You can throw down in the kitchen. We need to stop fooling with pier picnics and just go to the Relleno residence. Looks real good Chile.

Wow!,
just wow!

My birthday is coming up, can I hire you?

Happy Birthday Chile! Hope all of that tasted half as good as it looked!

Holy Cow! Somewhere there is a pride of lions wearing t-shirts with your face on the front. Happy belated birthday!

Happy Birthday Sir! Nothing is safe from your culinary skills whether on land, sea, or in the air! Looks fantastic!

Chile what did you put inside the moinks?

And a very Happy Birthday

Muchos Gracias!

The Moinks and ABTs had the same filling.

2 pkgs Cream Cheese, softened
8oz Mozzarella, shredded
.5C Green Onion, chopped fine
.5C Bell Pepper, chopped fine
1 T (heaping) Garlic, minced
1T Cayenne powder
1T Seasoned salt

Typically I do 1:1 cream cheese and shredded cheese, but needed to stretch with the 2:1.

For ABTs sometimes I add chopped Conecuh sausage or any leftover chopped/pulled BBQ , awesome with pulled pork mixed in.
The ABTs can also be done with larger Pablano or Aneheim Green chiles for entree sized meals, 2 large ABTs make a nice dinner with some rice/beans.

There are so many fillings I want to try in the Moinks.
Shrooms-n-cheese
Mac-n-cheese
Bleu cheese
Some really savory rice blends, like my Arroz Mexicana, or wild rice with pearl onions.

ok Chile, firstly, happy birthday. Secondly, inquiring minds (mine and my girlfriend's) want to know how you get your bacon perfectly done when you wrap it around stuffed peppers or other "moinkish" edibles...

I'm late as always but happy Birthday and that looks great,pears grilled with blue cheese is awesome too :barbershop_quartet_

Thank you.

I usually smoke the bacon wrapped item at approx 250°+/-.

Yes.
But the real question is, "Can you afford my services?"
