So, this beach trip my son-in-law wanted me to mentor him in making Chile Rellenos from scratch. I was glad to do it, since no one realizes how much work that is and having another family member aware of that will score more points for me on Christmas Eve when I am in the kitchen all day preparing our traditional Mexican meal. I told Allen I would provide the sauce if he would do everything else. I found this recipe on my Thrive website and I already had all of the ingredients, so it was easy to take the ingredients to the beach and make the sauce there.
