I have a recipe and tips in this book: We'd Rather Be Writing: 88 Authors Share
Timesaving Dinner Recipes and Other Tips. Check it out if you'd like to
find some quick recipes and other timesaving tips, and meet some authors
writing in a variety of genres.
I sent in my Quick Enchilada Casserole recipe for the book. Here are a few additional super-easy and quick (if not necessarily healthy) meals or snacks.
New Mexico Mac and
Cheese
Mix roasted, chopped green chiles, or green chile sauce,
into your favorite macaroni and cheese recipe. Or use your favorite salsa.
Adjust the amount to your taste.
Chile Cheese Tater Tots
Cook tater tots according to directions. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped, roasted green chile. Bake until everything is hot and cheese is melted.
Chili Cheese Tater
Tots (Sonic style)
This is one of the few New Mexico dishes that use chili instead of
chile.
Cook tater tots according to directions. Top with canned or
homemade chili with meat and beans. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake until everything
is hot and cheese is melted.
I write novels of adventure and romance set in the
Southwestern United States. The novels touch on local culture, including food.
For my most recent romantic suspense, The Dead Man’s Treasure, I put
together a recipe booklet of foods mentioned in the book, including this
delightful breakfast classic. (See also my posts Red
or Green: The New Mexico Chile, Homemade
Green Chile Sauce, Breakfast
Burrito, Huevos
Rancheros, Enchilada
Casserole, and New
Mexico Green Chile Chicken Soup Recipe – use these links or simply click on
the “Recipe” label down to the right.) See the DMT page of Kris Bock’s website for a printable version of all recipes from the
book.
Rebecca Westin is shocked to learn the grandfather she never
knew has left her a bona fide buried treasure – but only if she can decipher a
complex series of clues leading to it. The hunt would be challenging enough
without interference from her half-siblings, who are determined to find the
treasure first and keep it for themselves. Good thing Rebecca has recruited
some help.
Sam is determined to show Rebecca that a desert adventure
can be sexy and fun. But there’s a treacherous wildcard in the mix, a man
willing to do anything to get that treasure – and revenge.
Action and romance combine in this lively Southwestern
adventure, complete with riddles the reader is invited to solve to identify
historical and cultural sites around New Mexico. See the DMT page of
Kris Bock’s website for a printable list of the clues and recipes from the
book.
The first book in the Southwest Treasure Hunters series is The Mad Monk’s Treasure. The Dead Man’s
Treasure is book 2. Each novel stands alone and is complete, with no
cliffhangers. This series mixes action and adventure with “closed door”
romance. The stories explore the Southwest, especially New Mexico.
