I don’t know where the time goes! As predicted, by me, I forgot to post on Friday. I can’t think of anything that I did on Friday that prevented me from posting so my only excuse is that I’m a slacker! Perhaps I can find a support group to help me get over my slacking ways. Isn’t the first step admitting you have a problem?!
The weekend was a good one. I managed to cook not one bit! I’m probably the worst food/recipe blogger in the history of blogging!! Everybody’s gotta be something right?! I did already warn you that I don’t like to cook on Fridays. Hubby got takeout from our favorite restaurant (Kill Devil Grill if you must know) and it was dang good. We went with all apps – cheesesteak egg rolls, chicken wings and the best spinach artichoke dip known to mankind! We topped that off with a hunkin’ slice of key lime pie and then binge watched The Walking Dead. Yes, it was a fantastic evening thank you very much!
Saturday night I had “book club” which should possibly change its name to “booze club” but that’s neither here nor there! We do actually pick out a book every month and sometimes the book even gets read!! And that’s just success at its finest! I played cards against humanity for the first time and I could have played until every card had been laid down. As a gutter minded girl (at all highly inappropriate times) it was right up my alley! Can we say k-l-a-s-s-y????
Sunday night I made hubby grill brats and I served a very gourmet veggie tray, chips and dip! See how well I did at avoiding cooking?! Take notes, y’all! I’m a professional!!!
I did make those most delicious chicken enchiladas last Thursday though and damn were they f***ing delicious. I mean slap yo mama good (what the hell does that one mean? I would never slap my mama – woman would kick my ass!!). Here are the specs on Quag’s chicken enchiladas (this is another one of my favs because I can make it during nap time AND it’s makes so much, I can freeze another meals worth! Woo hoo!! The sauce I always make fresh, though and I don’t freeze it. That’s just me. You do what makes you happy!)
Ingredients:
Cooked and shredded chicken (I do 2 large breasts (hey yo!) in chicken broth and water and then use the food processor to chop it up – it’s a great time saver)
1/8 cup sautéed onions (I don’t measure that shit – you be the judge)
1 block cream cheese, softened
1 tsp minced garlic
Cheddar cheese (as much or as little as you like – I do about 4 oz)
Mexican blend shredded cheese
Corn tortillas – heated (wrap ’em in a wet papertowel and microwave about 30 seconds – the recipe calls for frying them but mama ain’t doin all that!)
Sauce:
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sour cream
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp corn starch (mixed with 1/4 cup cold water)
Directions:
Cook chicken and dice, slice, shred, cut that bird up! Mix chicken, onions, garlic, and cream cheese. Then add cheddar cheese and mix together. Spoon mixture into corn tortillas and place in greased baking dish seam down.
Sauce:
Bring cream and sour cream to a boil. Reduce heat. Slowly stir in corn starch/water mixture to thicken sauce. Add salt and pepper.
Top enchiladas with the cream sauce, sprinkle with Mexican blend cheese and bake 15-20 minutes on 400.
Y’all, they don’t sound like much but they are so good! Mr. Wonderful likes to top his with salsa verde (that’s green salsa for those not as fluent in Spanish as me! Ha!) and sliced jalapeños. I like mine just the way they are and the boys love ’em too!! I served it with refried beans and Mexican rice. Yummy to my tummy!!!!
Tonight I’m making semi-homemade pizza (semi coz y’all know mama ain’t makin her own dough when Boboli does a way better job than I ever could)! It’s a recipe like got from my childhood best friend’s mom and it just brings back so many great memories! I’ll share more on it tomorrow or whenever I remember!! xoxo
Those enchiladas look like da bomb
