Well as the title suggests one recipe was a total flop this week while two were hands down delicious! I have to say that we have had some pretty good turn outs with recipes!
Lets lets refresh, this weeks menu looked something like this!
Monday: Stacked Roasted Vegetable Enchilada From Perry's Plate-Win
Lets take a look at this Stacked Roasted Vegetable Enchilada a little closer! I know a lot of you were curious as to how this would turn out! And let me tell you this dish is delicious, if you have this recipe pinned you need to make it. I know it takes some time to roast veggies, but in the end the extra time is worth it. I loved the sweet note that the sweet potatoes played in the dish, and well I am always down for a recipe that is loaded (I mean loaded) with veggies! Add some black beans and chicken for a little extra protein! I served this with a side salad, yes even more vegetables. I actually cut the amount of cheese down to 3/4 cup instead of the 2 cups called for, and instead of putting cheese between every layer I just topped the dish with the cheese. And I used 7 tortillas.
Not the best picture, but still it was delicious!
Why was it a dud you ask? The tofu had zero flavor I mean none! This dish was rather bland and nothing like an authentic pad thai. I read the review for this dish and made some modifications but in the end it just wasn't good! Sorry Clean Eating I am going to stick with this recipe!
And lets end on a win this fine Friday morning!
Cooking Lights Beans and Rice with Chicken and Chorizo!
Delicious. I subbed in Vegetarian sausage for the Chorizo and was extremly happy with the outcome!
The recipe only called for salt and pepper but I added garlic, paprika and cumin. I thought the additional spices added a nice kick! I could use more go to recipes like this. Recipes that are delicious, healthy and take no time to prepare!
And before I leave I am going to link up with Sarah of Simply Sarah for Inspiration Friday.
One goal I had for 2012 was to live more in the now verses worrying about things that are happening in the future our out of my control. This week I had to look at this quote several times, because I noticed myself getting anxious (you know the feeling) about things that are simply out of my control!
No point in worrying about things that are out of our control, or over planning the future! Focus on the now, don't let it pass you by!
Happy Friday Everyone!
