March 30, 2012

This is a new spin on breakfast for dinner. This could also be enchiladas for breakfast. Whatever you call it, call it good. It reminded Jason and I of the huevos rancheros and huevos a la mexicana we enjoyed in December. I just rolled them up enchilada style! Cold and rainy is still what’s happening [...]

fluffy Irish cream blondies

March 17, 2012

lemon piccata enchilada

March 9, 2012

Disclaimer: I really should not call these enchiladas. The only thing that resembles one is the fact that I rolled up some ingredients in tortillas, and cooked them like enchiladas.
