Hello and Happy Wednesday!
My legs were just not feeling it today so I cut my run short to take a walk with SR. I hadn’t seen her since Sunday night so I was obviously having withdrawals. Glad I got my fix.
Before I met up with her I made a super quick breakfast of egg whites because I’m trying to eat clean talk dirty. There were super clean until I dropped them on the floor. #Fail
Luckily my other meals have been amazing lately!
Yesterday I went to visit the new baby and brought her some salad.
Enchilada Casserole Recipe How To
By the time I got back I wanted to make something quick and easy for dinner. Every time I make this enchilada casserole I get comments asking for the recipe. There isn’t really a recipe, it’s basically deconstructed enchiladas.
Ingredients:
-
Tortillas
-
Salsa (I used salsa instead of enchilada sauce because I have it on hand all the time and sometimes red sauce can be bitter)
-
Leftover chicken or beef or pork or rabbit or bison or mushrooms or tofu or wild boar…
-
Shredded Cheese
-
Optional: corn, beans.
1. Get some protein/enchilada filling. I shredded a rotisserie chicken.
2. Layer salsa, tortillas, protein, beans, corn, cheese
3. Repeat.
4. Bake until heated through.
Roasted Butternut Squash
I also made roasted butternut squash.
I love squash, but I don’t love cutting it so I bought pre-cut cubes from Costco.
I tossed the whole package with 2 Tb. coconut oil, 2 Tb. agave, a lot of salt & cinnamon. Baked at 400 degrees until cooked through about 25-30 minutes. (Time depends on the size of your cubes.) Once done I tossed in a few handfuls of cranberries.
Dessert was courtesy Artic Zero. I love these.
Am I Weird Wednesday Poll:
Breaking Things Out of Anger
I was thinking about this today and thought I’d take a poll so you can be honest… Have you ever broken something out of anger? Like, thrown a plate or smashed a lamp?

Your Enchilada recipe looks yummy, I will have to try it!!
Thank you for the recipes! I made the deconstructed enchiladas last night and they were delicious! I am kinda lazy in the kitchen so this was perfect for me 🙂 Major plus, my daughter loved it! Can’t wait to try the squash, we love it in my house so I’m always looking for new ways to prepare it.
Yeah! Glad you enjoyed it!!
That food looks so good! Um yeah. I’ve broken a phone, pictures/frames. I think thats all but probably not. I may have just blocked them out 🙂
That casserole looks sooo good!!!
I’m trying to talk my husband into clearing a space in the basement where I an throw cheap Goodwill glassware at the wall to get my frustrations out. (Mother of teenage girls over here). Throwing stuff makes me feel SO MUCH BETTER.
I am VERY jealous of the Arctic Zero. We don’t have it here, it’s almost worth booking a holiday to try it. I’m just not sure my boyfriend would go for booking holidays around my love of iced desserts….
Aw, those eggs are so sad 🙁
That baby has got a head of hair! Cute! Did she make your ovaries feel all warm and cuddly? I need to start making enchiladas like that- I hate heating the oil, dipping the tortillas, and then feeling like a stupid white girl when they inevitably split open anyway.
ooH! I def want to try that butternut squash recipe! Looks so delish!
Okay… What did you break, and why were you mad?….
what market can you find those popsicles at?
It’s hard to find the popsicle version – I’ve seen the pints more often. Supposedly they are at Ralphs.
never on purpose!
I need some of that roasted butternut squash in my life
I love roasted squash! I roasted up some butternut squash (also bought the pre-cubed but from Trader Joe’s) in just olive oil, salt and pepper. So easy and so simple. The cinnamon is a great idea though. Next time! 🙂
Yum yum! And such a darling little baby; so much gorgeous hair!
love enchiladas. it’s a wonder why I don’t make them more often. Elk. I can put some elk there. 🙂
last time I purposefully broke something out of anger was probably when I was a kid and pissed at my sister for something or other. I ripped out the insides of her favorite binder. haha.
Those enchiladas look great!
I buy precut everything. #Lazy I wish the made precut pizza.
Both recipes look amazing! Roasted butternut squash casserole would be a great remix. I once broke a phone drunk in college when I threw it against the wall. Whoops.
I once broke a glass blender out of anger, trying to make a smoothie and being angry just don’t go together 😉
I am lazy and buy the pre-chopped BN squash from Costco too. Who has the time to skin it themselves and probably slice a finger off?!?!
Seriously. I have almost killed myself a few times trying to cut squash.
Girl, I’m Puerto Rican so the answer to smashing things out of anger is a resounding YES! Although I have gotten better 🙂 The enchiladas look so yummy! I suck at making enchiladas; always become soggy.
Ooooh, I never thought to make butternut squash sweet like a sweet potatoe! (I’m slow today, need more coffee) but that sounds amazing! and easy!
Yum both of these look SO delicious! thank you for sharing!
I love all things squash! I’ll need to try that recipe – also good call on buying it pre-cut…I feel like I’m going to lose a finger someday by using the giant chief knife to cut the squash in half.
Wild boar – gotta try that out next time.
You pass the reading comprehension test 😉
Yum! My roasted butternut squash tasted like poo last time! I’ll have to try it with coconut oil!
Both recipes looks DELISH! But hopefully on a plate, and not the floor.
