October 11, 2011

I love quick and flavorful meals for weeknight dinners. Quick and easy being key words here. I found this recipe and it fit the bill perfectly.

Pumpkin Enchiladas

September 20, 2011

I love trying new foods, experimenting with the unusual combinations of food. Just ask DT. Pumpkin tends to be one of my star ingredients, I think I already have 11 pumpkin recipes on my blog. It is, after all, so very versatile, beautiful and super yummy. So, when the thought of creamy, slightly spicy pumpkin [...]

Creamy Spinach and Chicken Enchiladas

February 3, 2009

We love Mexican food around our house and I was in search of a great way to use some of our garden veggies, and I thought spinach enchiladas, perfect. For this recipe I used what I had on hand but it would be much better with corn tortillas not flour, but if you like flour [...]

Smothered Chicken and Rice

December 9, 2008

I love this easy night recipe that tastes like it’s been cooking all day. The rice combines with the onion, mushroom and soup flavor and tastes wonderfully creamy. The chicken cooks to perfection and the skin gets just the perfect amount of crispiness on top, not that I eat the skin or anything, ha! For [...]

The sauce has the perfect amount of spice and cheesiness. I used the Sticky Chicken recipe for the chicken [...]
