Recipe: Black Bean Enchiladas

I had never had enchiladas before so this was an experience in deliciousness. The sauce came together almost instantly and without effort and the bean burrito things were beyond delicious. This makes a surprising 8 enchiladas which we ate over 4 nights. This was also extremely spicy but I blame that on the way too hot salsa I used.

Recipe: Chicken Pot Pie

Who doesn’t love a chicken pot pie? This recipe is a little time intensive but you can save time by making the crust and filling ahead of time or just using ready made pie crust. You can freeze this pie pretty well before baking and cook from frozen (adding some time to the final bake) but it’s also delicious piping hot out of the oven and makes great leftovers for several days.

Meta: Recipe Collection

Since we’re busy packing and about to move in our new place we’re cleaning out our fridge which means a lot of stir fry, omelets, and eating very boring food!

There’s plenty of recipes that I went to try when I move in to the new place though and since the cooking has been boring, at least the linking can be interesting (I hope!). Expect a menu and CSA report on Tuesday like usual though <3

Lemon Risotto – I have a weakness for risotto and haven’t made it in a while. I will probably change up the veggies in this recipe and maybe the flavors but this looks pretty solid and easy.

Enchiladas – I have never eaten or made these – yikes! I’m definitely over due on that.

Carrot and Chicken Stew – We get fantastic carrots in tons of varieties from our CSA and this sounds like a great way to them all.

Chicken Tortilla Soup – Just looks heavenly doesn’t it? Nice and cozy!

May add more to this list over the next few days but those are my culinary plans so far. ’til next time!
