Burrito Day? Naw

Today is the First Thursday in April. Nationally speaking, it’s Burrito Day. Didn’t we just make burritos? Yeah, we did for Nevada Day. My guys would say there’s no such thing as eating too many burritos. Still, variety is the spice of life.

Another Spicy Tuesday Night

Welcome to another Tuesday in my kitchen. While the rest of the world calls this Taco Tuesday, in our house it’s Tijuana Tuesday – so anything with a Mexican flare is a-okay with me.

Awesome Ro-Tel Chicken Enchiladas

All I can say is it’s a good thing today is Tuesday. It’s also Butterscotch Brownie Day. Great for me, not so much for Hubby who is not a fan of Butterscotch. I like to suck on Butterscotch Candies and drizzle butterscotch over ice cream. A Butterscotch Brownie deserved it’s own special day.

East Meets West for an Easy Weeknight Enchilada

Yeah, I know what you are thinking – East meets West must be some sort of strange Asian twist on a Mexican favorite, right? Wrong. In this case I’m talking about a date in History forever dubbed East Meets West.

Wow – Chicken Taco Enchiladas

As Hubby and I walked the aisles of the grocery store, he with the shopping list in hand, me looking over our choices he noticed that we had Enchiladas on the menu.

Beefy Enchilada Cups

Today is National Curry Chicken Day and (oh yeah!) National Glazed Donut Day. So what do Beefy Enchilada Cups have to do with either of these National Days? Absolutely nothing. Not even in my wandering mind.

Spicy Crescent Enchiladas

Some things are just so ingrained in American Cooking that we take them for granted, not realizing the rest of the world might not have the same convenience of commercially marketed short cuts. Rarely do we bake a cake from scratch, although the boxed variety often needs a helping hand. Pie crusts and Dinner Rolls can come in a box, from the freezer or even in a tube. Wow!

Green Chili Four Cheese Enchiladas

Happy Friday! For some of us, that means something – like the end of another grueling work-week. For others, Friday is just another in a long line of endless days. In our house, it means a meatless meal.

Celebrating Colorado Day

It’s that day again, National Colorado Day. Comes around every year on April 12. This year it just happens to take a back seat to Easter. Still, I did not want to overlook the 38th state of the Union.

Instant Pot Ancho Chile Chicken Enchiladas

Can we talk Instant Pots for just a moment? Do you have one? I put off jumping on the Instant Pot bandwagon for a very long time. I told myself it was trending – like Microwaves. Do you remember when people cooked entire meals in their microwave? Crazy, but that’s just my opinion.

Buffalo Chicken Enchiladas for a Weeknight Delight

If it’s Tuesday, it must be Taco Day, or in our house Tijuana Tuesday. My guys love anything Mexican. So on Tuesdays, anything Mexican goes. And you can’t beat these spicy Enchiladas for an easy weeknight meal.

What to do with Turkey-Day Left Overs

What are your Day After Thanksgiving traditions? When we traveled for Thanksgiving, it was spending time with family. Now that travel doesn’t involve nearly the distance it once did, we Deck The Halls.

Crescent Chicken Enchilada is Out of the Ordinary

As I pulled the Crescent Chicken Enchiladas from the oven and called my guys to the table, Hubby gave me a strange look. He had seen the menu for the week posted on the refrigerator as it always is. He knew we were having Chicken Enchiladas. He forgot about the “crescent” part of the description. I’ve got to tell you, as I made and baked the enchiladas, I had my doubts too. It was strangely out of the ordinary even for me. They were really long, one enchilada cut in half was more than you needed for a serving. As Hubby noted, they were different. Guess what? Different was down right delicious!

Awesome Tampiqueña with the Works

Hubby’s all-time favorite Mexican meal has to be Tampiqueña, or number 34 on the menu of our neighborhood Mexican Cantina. Most nights, when we treat ourselves to a relaxing evening out, Tampiqueña is what Hubby loves to order.

Beef Enchiladas With Cilantro Cream Sauce

One of the things I look for in a recipe is down-time – you know, that time when the dish is cooking all on its own, without a great deal of attention. That “down” time allows me to do other things – run a few errands, putter about the house, reorganize a closet or simply relax with a cup of tea and watch the clouds roll by.
