Food I Ate Friday - Annette's Enchiladas

I stole this picture from this blog because the few I took were not cute :)

Ingredients

1 cup Sour Cream (8 ounces)

1 large can Green Enchilada Sauce (28 ounces, Las Palmas is the best)

2 8 Ounce cans Green Chilies, diced

3 cups cooked Chicken, shredded (a roasting chicken from grocery store works great)

2-3 cups shredded Monterey Jack Cheese

12-15 Corn Tortillas

1 cup Chicken Broth

chopped Cilantro, for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix green sauce, canned chilies, and sour cream together in a bowl. Set aside.

Simmer chicken broth in a skillet. Have shredded chicken, cheese ready. Make yourself a little assembly line.

Assembly: Spread 1 ladle full of sauce mixture in bottom of a 9×13 baking dish. Dip tortillas in broth and layer over sauce. Next a layer of chicken, then cheese, sauce, repeat…tortillas, chicken, cheese, sauce. Last layer is tortillas, sauce and cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until warmed through.

Garnish with cilantro.

This recipe is super simple, but really delivers a great home cooked meal feeling that leaves you with a little warm and fuzzy :) I blogged about the book Bread and Wine awhile back, and this is one of the many recipes from that book I have made since posting that blog.

It's cozy and raining here today and I am looking forward to yummy food and Hot Chocolate with Baileys tonight before bed. With only two weeks until Christmas my heart will be happy no matter what, this season is my favorite and I look forward to all the goodness it holds all year long.

Eat well this weekend friends :)

In the Nursery: Whole Hearted Parenting Manifesto

I recently finished a book by Brene Brown titled, DaringGreatly . It really moved me, and I am definitely still processing it. At the beginning of the book I wasn’t resonating deeply with the topic of vulnerability, as most people will tell you I am an “open book”. I will answer most questions without holding back and love to deep dive into good conversation. However, what I came to realize through her many examples is that we all wrestle with vulnerability, guilt and shame throughout this book even if is more momentary than constant. I gleaned SO MUCH from this book that I did not anticipate, and I thought I would share this Parenting Manifesto that she put right at the end of the book. I am printing it and framing it for our nursery, as I think it communicates some deep parts of my heart cry for parenting my kiddos well. I hope this resonates with someone else as much as it did with me. I needed these words to remind me that parenting is not a checklist,

A Penny For Your Thoughts - Looking Back & Missing Italy

I took this my first day in Italy, and will always remember my town just like this... I realized something about my writing the other day, and that is that I am much more present in my writing than I am in my brain. I am constantly thinking back, but I never write about my past. Sure, I write a story here or there reminiscing on my African travel, but rarely do you hear about my life pre-California unless it is in reference to my family. Lately, I have found myself pining for Italy. Did you know I lived there? Probably not, because I rarely mention it! I knew I was going to love it there, but it has stuck with me since the moment I left. I have wanted to go back every minute of every day since then. The simplicity of life, the emphasis on slowing down, the architecture, the food, the flowers, the people, the color, the trains, the bikes, the gelato, the smiles and laughter, the wine, and the cities are only scratching the surface of things I love from the bea

At the Library - May through September 2019 Reading

We had another baby in May (SO much more on that later) and blogging has obviously taken a back seat, but I am still reading for pleasure and have managed, in my sons first four months of life, to complete these 8 books! Y'all, I remember a time when even completing 2 books a year would have sincerely sounded daunting, much less with a newborn. If you want to read more, you can find the time! Take stock of your days and see where you are wasting hours. For some of these, I listened to the audio book while I was pumping or watering the garden. Rather than give you an individual breakdown of each of these books, I just want to report I found them all incredibly enjoyable. A total cross section of a food memoir to a psychology deep dive to nature centric novels, I would recommend them all in different capacities. We have fallen a bit behind on our Bible reading, but we WILL finish by the end of the year. You do not make it to September
