TLC...

It seems I made my Chicken Noodle soup a little too early in the season. The last two days I have been home sick, and no more soup. If only I had some of that homemade cold remedy on hand....

Along with being sick there was little to blog about, and even less cooking going on. Luckily I made a few things over the weekend that carried Dough-Girl and I through the week. The best meal was home made Enchillada's, mexican rice, and refried beans (out of a can). I had no idea how easy enchillada's were to make, and I will definitely make then again.

1lb ground beef
1 packet of taco seasoning (or your own blend of flavors)
4 flour tortillia's
1 can enchillada sauce
a package of mozzerella cheese (or what ever you like)

Brown the beef, and add the taco seasonings. Set aside to cool slightly. In a 9x9 pan, pour a little of the sauce to coat the bottom. take each tortillia and place a little cheese and about 1/4 of hte beef mixture and lay it down the middle of the tortillia. Roll the tortillia and place it seam side down in the pan. Repeat on the other 3 tortillias. Cover the tortillias with the remianing sauce and top with cheese. Place in to 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes. Serve immediately with a side of rice, beans, sour cream, and guacamole...Yummm

I also made some cajun Dirty Rice, in honor of Mardi-Gras. I came in a package, and all I had to do was brown the beef, so there's not much to write about. The dirty rice was my meal of choice through the week, while Dough-Girl opted for the Enchillada's.
