From Moira’s Aaanchiladas to Twyla’s Questionable Smoothies, I have the best list of Schitt’s Creek inspired recipes for you

This beloved show skyrocketed in popularity in recent months, and for good reason. It’s a feel-good show, riddled with enough dark humor and enough silliness to make you want to watch it three times through.

(Not that I’ve done that.) 

The characters, the writers, and probably my all time favorite TV show scene with David and Moira making enchiladas together.

While I don’t have any plans to actually write a menu large enough to work for Cafe Tropical, I would like to share a few show-inspired recipes for your next viewing party! 

But first, here’s this! 

And then this…

Tyler and I re-enacted this favorite scene of mine…on TikTok! He did a great job, didn’t he!
 

Video: How to Fold in the Cheese

And while all of that is good fun and hilarity…how about an actual demonstration and explanation of what it means to “fold in the cheese.”

When folding anything into a sauce or batter…

i.e. blueberries into muffin batter, cheese into a cream sauce, egg whites into a meringue, chocolate chips into cookie dough…

The key is gentle.

It’s like a horizontal stir, if you will.

Use this mantra, as you gently work the cheese into the sauce – sweep, flip and turn.

Also, it really helps to use a flatter spoon or silicone spatula for the folding.

Here’s an actual demonstration for a sour cream based sauce that I’m using for Sour Cream Chicken AHNCHILADAS. 😉

 

Schitt's Creek Inspired Recipes

Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

I'll teach you how to fold in the cheese for this sour cream and chicken sauce. Enjoy!

Spinach Pineapple Avocado Smoothie

I promise that Alexa won't grimace after taking a sip of this. Inspired by Twyla's smoothie concoctions for Alexis after her runs.

Whole Wheat Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

Johnny Rose could certainly level up the cinnamon roll game for the Rosebud Motel lobby...

Ritzy Meatloaf

Cafe Tropical's menu most popular item??? Unlikely. But this meatloaf is FABULOUS...

Homemade Sloppy Joe Mix

SLOPPY JOCELYN'S --- I'll venture to bet that this homemade sloppy joe is better than Jocelyn's version?!?!

Tuna Melts

Which character always picked tuna melts from the Cafe Tropical giant menu?!

Fudge Pecan Pie

PIE PIE PIE - always

Christmas Cookie Decorating

Think Ted decorating cookies for Alexis. Oh, how he loves her so well.

5 Ways to Make Fruit Salad

MOIRA - this is the fruit salad you've been missing.

Finally, I wish I had a recipe for fruit wine. Oh wait, never mind. GROSS. 😉
