Last night's dinner was Chicken Enchilada Soup. I was happy with how this soup turned out and all of it is gone! It contained a lot of ingredients but wasn't too hard to make. The original recipe was found HERE . Our version is below. Ingredients: olive oil 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1/2 cup flour 4 cups chicken broth 2 cups shredded chicken 10 ounce can red enchilada sauce 15 ounce can black beans 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes 1/2 cup corn kernels 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped salt pepper assorted toppings: tortilla strips, sour cream, avocado Directions: Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion powder and minced garlic for 30 seconds. Stir in flour and cook for one minute. Pour in the chicken broth and stir until combined. Add the chicken, enchilada sauce, beans, tomatoes, corn, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook 10 minutes. Add the cheese on top. Add toppings and enjoy!

Last night's dish was Mexican Pizza....but not just any Mexican Pizza.....Mexican Pizza on the cast-iron skillet. It was amazing. I had more than one whole one. You can find the original recipe HERE . Our recipe was changed and updated below. I only took a few photos because, man, this dish got messy! Especially with all of the enchilada sauce. But I do have to say it was pretty dang amazing. If you tried this, let me know your thoughts below! Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef 1 envelope taco seasoning 10 flour tortillas 1 can refried beans 1 big can of enchilada sauce At least two cups of Shredded Cheese Sour cream (optional) Rotel tomatoes (optional) Green onions (optional) Black olives (optional) Directions: Brown and crumble ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain. Add taco seasoning packet with 3/4 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer five minutes, stirring occasionally until most of the water has evaporated. Set mixture

The original recipe was for Spicy Baked Chicken Tacos that can be found HERE . We actually changed the original recipe up quite a bit and I'm a little embarrassed to say this but I had three of these tacos in one sitting. They were SO good. I would say this was one of my favorite recipes I have made to-date.                                               Normally when I have regular tacos, I use beef and I will either not bake the taco shells or bake them once. This one we baked twice (once just the shells and the second time with everything in it) which made it SO much better! Please leave your comments, recommendations, or changes below! I would love to see how you made these :) ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Ingredients: olive oil 2 cups shredded (cooked) chicken one packet taco seasoning 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder 10 stand and stuff taco shells 1 can refried beans colby jack cheese (lots of it!) 1/2 cup salsa verde chicken broth (eno

I've had Salsa Verde Before but never in a Chicken Casserole form. It was pretty good! This recipe called for Cream Cheese which is different than how I normally make it. The original recipe was found HERE . Our changes are below. Ingredients: 4 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts 8 oz cream cheese, softened 1 cup salsa verde Mozzarella cheese (almost one bag) The Marinade: Garlic Powder 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Red Pepper Flakes 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning Pepper Directions: Add olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, pepper, and red pepper flakes in a ziploc bag. Seal the bag and shake until mixed. I didn't measure the garlic powder, red pepper flakes or pepper. I just put some in the tab and mixed it until it was good. Add the chicken breast, seal, and massage so the chicken is covered in the marinade. Turn the oven on to 400 degrees. Arrange the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Spread the cream cheese over the chicken and season with pepper

My Mom sent me this recipe a few weeks ago and I couldn't wait to make it. My boyfriend and I made it the night of Valentine's Day together and it was really delicious! The full and original recipe can be found HERE . Our version is below. Ingredients: 1 teaspoon olive oil onion powder garlic powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin salt 20 ounces of enchilada sauce 1/4 cup sour cream 4 corn tortillas, divided into fourths 4 cups shredded chicken 1 (15oz) can of black beans, rinsed and drained 3 ounces colby jack cheese (or more) Directions: Preheat oven to 500 degrees. In a bowl, add the olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, enchilada sauce, and sour cream. Tear each corn tortilla into four pieces. Layer the corn tortillas on top of the mixture by stacking three pieces on top of each other and layering them in a circle. Add the chicken on top of the tortillas followed by the beans. Stir the entire mixture. Spoon the mixture into the cast-iron skillet and

With yesterday being Valentine's Day, nothing could beat Vodka and Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries - although you don't really need a holiday to enjoy these! The Vodka is very light but it wasn't created to be the main part of this amazing desert :) You can click HERE for the original recipe or see below for ours :) Ingredients: 1/2 container of Strawberries, rinsed 1 cup chocolate chips 2 teaspoon coconut oil Enough Vodka to fill the top of the strawberries, we used Watermelon Vodka Directions: Place strawberries in a bowl and then pour enough vodka over them to cover completely. Refrigerate for up to six hours - we refrigerated ours for two hours but I'm sure the longer the better :). I also used half of a container of strawberries so that I didn't give our child vodka-covered ones ;) Line a parchment on a pan and spray. Drain strawberries and pat dry (and you can save or eliminate the vodka once done). In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chi

I can honestly say that I've never had a Tator Tot Casserole. I mean, I love tator tots, and love cheese, so this casserole was perfect. I added a little flare to the meat in the casserole - taco seasoning. Perfectly seasoned! We also added extra cheese on top because....well....we love cheese! The original recipe can be found HERE . See below to our version:) Ingredients: Ground beef Kosher Salt Black Pepper Onion Powder 2 Tablespoons Flour 1 Cup Beef Broth 1/4 Cup Milk 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce 2.5 Cups Cheddar Cheese, Shredded 32 Ounces Tator Tots Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add the ground beef, salt, pepper, and onion powder to a skillet and cook until browned. Follow directions for the taco seasoning. Put meat in a separate bowl. Add the flour to the skillet and whisk for 15 seconds. Add beef broth, milk, and Worcestershire sauce, cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes until thickened and add beef back in to the skillet. Stir until combined. I

Last night I used my cast iron skillet for the second time. I tried Chrissy Teigen's Seared Steak recipe in her Cravings cookbook. The link to the exact recipe can be found HERE . The original recipe has spicy garlic miso butter which I did not use. The recipe has been altered below and I made it my own. I also heard (but haven't confirmed) that it can take "six weeks" to get used to how the cast iron skillet works? This could explain why it took longer to cook the steak. Or maybe it's just a temperature difference, not too sure. If anyone has any advice or use a cast iron skillet, I would love to hear your comments or recommendations in the comments below ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Ingredients (Steak and Asparagus) 1-2 pounds Boneless Rib Eye Steak Salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1 tablespoon butter 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder Asparagus, bottoms snapped off and cut into 2-inch lengths 1 cup chicken broth Directions Heat a 9-inch cast iron skillet over medium hig
