Stuffed Chicken Enchiladas

We LOVE these! They are so delicious! Even Little Monkey hopes and begs for leftovers!

STUFFED CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Ingredients:

– 1 can of Enchilada Sauce (I use El Paso Mild Enchilada Sauce)

– 3-4 Chicken breasts, diced and cooked (I usually just boil them. You don’t have to cook them, but I worry about them being cooked thoroughly so I pre-cook them too)

– 1 block of Cream Cheese

– 3-4 Roma Tomatoes, diced

– 4-6 Green Onions (Shallots), sliced

– 1 can of beans (we use black, pinto or kidney… depending on what’s in the cupboard. All are delicious)

– 2 ripe avocados, diced

– Cheese, you can put a little cheese inside each enchilada or just sprinkle it on top, whatever you prefer.

– Wheat or Flour Tortillas

Directions:

– Lightly spray or butter a 9×13″ pan and preheat the oven to 350F.

– Open your can of Enchilada Sauce and pour a thin layer into the bottom of the greased pan.

– Thaw and dice the chicken breast. Pre-cook, if desired.

– Open and drain your can of beans. Rinse well.

– Dice tomatoes, avocados, and green onions.

– Lay out a tortilla. Cut two slices of cream cheese off the block and lay them on the tortilla.

– Fill your tortilla with beans, chicken, avocado, tomatoes, green onions and cheese.

– Roll up the tortilla and place in the 9×13″ pan.

– Repeat with remaining tortillas until your pan is full. I can usually get 6-8 tortillas in a pan.

– Sprinkle cheese over the top of the tortillas generously.

– Bake at 350F for 25-35 mins or until cheese is melted and light golden brown.

Serve and Enjoy! IT WILL BE HOT!! And DELICIOUS!

Yields approximately 6-8 servings

While we have had a few days here and there that have been decent weather, we are still hanging out inside most of the time. If the sun isn’t out or the wind is blowing, it’s still too cold to be outside for very long. We were able to find an awesome adjustable basketball hoop on Craigslist for a great price and I knew that my boys would love it. We snatched it up quick as can be and have been having a spectacular time with it.

If you don’t have a kid’s basketball hoop, don’t worry about it. Use an empty, clean trash can or a laundry basket.

KID’S INDOOR BASKETBALL

Materials:
– Painter’s tape or masking tape
– Small balls (balls of tin foil, rolled up socks, balls of tape, paper balls, ect)
– A basketball hoop (or trash can or laundry basket)

Directions:
– Place your hoop at one end of the room.
– Use the tape to tape off a basketball key. It doesn’t need to be perfect.
– Use your ball(s) to play a variety of games. Horse. Count baskets. Just to name a few.
– Have fun and take time to play with your kids!

Peanut Butter Cup Bars

I love this recipe. I found the basic recipe on Fifteen Spatulas and she has some beautiful peanut butter cups on display. I tried the peanut butter cups (according to the recipe post on Fifteen Spatulas) one night after the kiddos were in bed and Mr Napping was on a business trip, thinking, “hey, I’ve got an hour to kill before I go to bed.” THREE hours later… I thought “okay, I won’t be doing that again anytime soon.” And mine turned out way uglier than those at Fifteen Spatulas! Although, they were still delicious.

Delicious enough that I refused to give up on the recipe. I had done the Sugar Cookie Bars not too long before that, and thought hey, maybe these would work as bars too. So… I adapted the recipe to my not-stocked-by-a-chef kitchen and ran with the idea. Totally worth it.

PEANUT BUTTER CUP BARS

Ingredients:
– 16 oz milk chocolate chips (1 bag)
– 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
– 2 Tbsp butter, melted
– 1/4 cup confectioner’s (powdered) sugar
– 2 packages of graham crackers, crushed (approximately 1-2 cups of crumbs)

Directions:
– Line a 9×13″ pan with wax paper and set aside.
– Smash the graham crackers. We like them with some lumps. It makes the bars a little crunchy.
– Mix the peanut butter, confectioner’s sugar, and graham crackers together until they make a sticky mixture.
– Press the peanut butter mixture into the 9×13″ pan.
– Melt the chocolate chips and butter in a small sauce pan on the stove on medium heat. Stir until it is consistent and smooth.
– Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter mixture in the pan. Spread with a spatula to evenly cover the peanut butter.
– Refrigerate the pan for 1-3 hours or until the chocolate has set.
Yields approximately 48 squares.

I found the bars easiest to cut by taking them out of the pan, flipping them over on another sheet of wax paper and slicing through the peanut butter and then the chocolate with a warm knife. Enjoy!

Weekend Wander #114

Welcome, everyone. Sorry the party is late… better late than never, right?! It’s been a hectic couple of days… and it’s not slowing down anytime soon. So, stick with me and maybe life will stop being soo crazy… someday. Sorry I missed this week’s top three and the Friday fun post. However, I have decided to switch up the schedule. Tuesdays will now be Tot Tuesday and Friday will be Freebie Friday. I think this will allow more flexibility for me and more cool stuff I can share with you. Anyways…

Let’s party! Sorry no features this week. I just plain don’t have time. I will, however, be in the car for many hours next week, so link up and I can’t wait to check all your awesome stuff out! Annnnd… GO!
