Separate 5 eggs and place the yolks into a blender along with lime juice, wine, salt, and
red pepper. Turn the blender on low to allow the yolks to combine, then begin pouring the hot butter in a thin stream into the blender slowly to emulsify. 10. Place the English muffins on the plate buttered side up. Put a slice of Canadian bacon on each half. Place an egg on top of the bacon and then top with a generous helping of Hollandaise sauce. Garnish with a sprinkle of the New Mexico Red Chile powder. GO ROGUE by using lobster or shrimp instead of the Canadian Bacon. Want Chef Jeff to make this delicious item or any other meal for you?

• FOUNDATION
provided a Hope Grant to Kirbyville for the past two years. The district uses the funds to help offset the cost of their preschool, reducing the cost to families to just $5 a day per child. Before the grant, parents often couldn’t afford to send their children on a daily basis and now the preschool stays full. “We have kids entering kindergarten ready because they’ve had that benefit of being in preschool consistently,” West said. Through Care For Kids funds and the partnership with the 14 Stone and Taney county school districts, Silver Dollar City Foundation was able to provide funding to meet more than 4,000 needs of children and families last school year. Each school district also had the opportunity to apply for Hope Grant funds to be used to best meet each district’s individual needs.
