No cute title for this....

Tonight I was feeling adventurous as I was watching my new fave show, How To Get Away With Murder. So. The only answer is CHILE RELLENO SOUP. I highly enjoy pinning randomness so this was a random thing I pinned awhile ago and decided to make happen TODAY. 
Basically, you cook up an onion, some garlic, and cilantro (full disclosure, forgot to buy cilantro so used those cilantro cubes). Throw in some flour, chix broth, milk, and your poblanos you broil and then steam. ITS EPICALLY DELICIOUS. Let's look! 
Broiling the peppers. 
 
 I adore cooking onions. It's like, one of my favorite things. I actually vaguely tried to dice these. Notice how mostly teensy they are? 
 
I was SUPER HAPPY with how this soup turned out. It was super easy. The hardest part was waiting for the poblanos to cool so you could peel them. I didn't feel like buying heavy cream/am counting calories again so I just used 2%. It was still super creamy, so I don't think it made THAT much difference in how it came out. Mmmmmmm. I didn't, however, fry up the chile relleno part for topping. Mostly because I was feeling lazy and didn't want to dirty another pan. Oh well. MAKE THIS IMMEDIATELY. Seriously. Recipe HERE
Now. I accidentally was at Walmart yesterday. And I accidentally bought those Deep Fried Twinkies. 
 
You can bake them, put them in the toaster oven, or actually fry them. 
OBVS I ovened them because lazy. I'm so sorry. Some cooking choices happen because lazy. 
I cooked it on my pizza stone also because lazy. 
 
Don't judge my pizza stone. It lives in my oven. Don't judge my dirty oven. Who has time to clean their oven? Literally no one. And if you answered MEEEEEEEEEE then by all means, please come over and clean my oven. 
 
Basically you oven them for like 10 min and they come out smelling like funnel cake. Mmmmmm delicious funnel cake. The cream gets all melty. It's not like when you get an ACTUAL fried Twinkie, but still decent. 
 
In conclusion. Please buy these. Well. Only if you are like me and you have an unnatural affinity for twinkies.  Reef will be so mad that I beat him on this, but I've got more so he will have one. Mmmmmm. 
They also come in chocolate but I felt like this was the best option. I have also thought about making my own homemade twinkies but it's kind of a lot of work...who knows. 
Did I mention I'm a smidge tipsy writing this? If you haven't yet tried Truly Spiked and Sparkling, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. I'm drinking the pomegranate tonight. It's worth it. Mmmmm.
