A vegetarian take on enchiladas with corn, red peppers, zucchinis, and onions mixed with a cheesy bean filling, wrapped in warm tortillas and smothered with store-bought enchilada sauce. – – This recipe is pretty much a straight adaptation of my original enchiladas (recipe) post, but subbing the beef for sauteed vegetables. If I’m being honest, I do like the beef a bit better. But this is still mighty delicious, and if I’m going to try eating more vegetables, I will sit down to eat this quite happily. I’m trying to incorporate a “Vegetarian Monday” into my schedule, so trying to come up with…

Continue ReadingToday, T made dinner! Like whole hog, from shopping to marinating to grilling. I mean, to be fair, I guess I made a rice side from a bag, but it was the kind where you just add water and boil. So it doesn’t count, and this meal was suuuuper tasty! Super flavorful, and not too hard. T estimated he spent less than 30 minutes total working on this, though start to finish is a little longer, since you have the marinating time in there. I will say that we did forget to throw in a few extra vegetables. We did only…

So today was game day! D&D Sunday as they usually happen to be, and instead of going all out to make all of the food, we did a potluck! It was wonderful–worked out perfectly. Zack made jalapeno poppers, Matt made quiche, and Dustin brought brownies! Tyler got away with nothing because he’s dating me, and I provided this awesome mediterranean dip! Plus he’s the DM so he has more work to do than the rest of us when it comes to preparing for D&D. This mediterranean dip recipe stems from Dara’s Healthy Mediterranean 7 Layer Dip over at Cookin’ Canuck, with a…

Happy cinco de mayo! Well, happy cinco de siete, technically, but who’s counting? I’ve been a busy pup mom this past week, not to mention work’s been a little crazy. But T and I both had rough weeks, so we decided to go all out for cinco de mayo on Thursday, and had some margaritas (henceforth known as ‘margs’), some yummy enchiladas, and some churro cookies for dessert! So you’re in luck, you get: not one, not two, but THREE posts today! I’m feeling generous. And T’s out of town visiting his family for mother’s day, so I only have the pup…

This breakfast crescent ring is yumm-ee! It does take a little bit of effort rather early in the morning I’ll admit, with all the different pieces that go together. But it was tasty, that’s for sure! Actually it was tastier than I even expected, but I’m glad it was since it took a little more effort than expected at first glance. The one thing to do next time to make it look even better would be to make the ring a little smaller so that there isn’t quite as large of a hole in the middle. I think that would make…

I’ve been on a health kick. Trying not to overeat and trying to make healthier choices. But foooooood is so yum, it’s hard. BuI found these baked southwest egg rolls and thought they’d be super tasty! With some salsa and fresh guacamole on the side, they make for a nice fresh dinner or a perfect appetizer! I didn’t have black beans, so I just used pinto beans instead. I imagine it’d be fine either way, just use whatever you prefer or have on hand! If you’re planning to use the egg rolls as appetizers, I would try making them in…

This recipe is one of those easy, pretty, and tasty ones! This works with both spicy and sweet Italian sausage, as I’ve used both and it’s tasty both ways! I served Drunken Italian Noodles with homemade applesauce and Parmesan edamame beans! Growing up, my mom and I (and sometimes my sister) used to make applesauce all the time! (This batch was from my mom and she gave me so much, I’ll be eating it for days.) Basically, we would just cut up apples, stick ’em in a pot with a tiny bit of water to cover the bottom, and let…
