Art and Enchilada Kind of Day

Made Sweet Potato and Pinto Enchiladas per HTP's recipe. I must admit that i was very skeptical after mixing everything up and it looked like baby food. The only addition I made was some cumin and fenugreek to spice it up a little. After I pulled these puppies out of the oven I was a convert. The smell was amazing and they got two thumbs up from both me and mom (the taste tester). I did sprinkle a little cheddar on top after baking and they were perfect. Served them up with a side of quinoa with black beans and topped with corn, cucumber, tomato, onion, and cilantro. YUMMY!!!

I hung my new piece of art done by my best friend, Allyson. I love a peacock. Sorry for the glare, I was letting the sun come all in my window which is right beside the picture. I caught the crafty bug myself and started a new collage. I will post my old collage later with *hopefully* a pic of my new finished collage.

Early Morning Recipe Experimentation

A little hungry this morning and wanting something warm and sweet. Mixed about 1/4 cup whole wheat pancake mix, 1/8 cup uncooked quinoa, 1 banana, 1 egg, a dash of vanilla and butter extracts, 1 tbsp each of poppy seeds and chia seeds, juice and zest of 1/2 a lemon (think I will use a whole lemon next time since they weren't as lemony as I would have liked) mix all items and mashed banana then cooked the whole whole thing like a giant pancake. Yay for happy tummy!

Earlier tonight I tried Moringstar Farm's buffalo Chik-n bites which were surprisingly good but did need a little extra sauce in my opinion. Paired that with some carrots (which I also dipped in the buffalo sauce) and some olive oil lemon feta hummus chips.

These things are soooo good!!!
