Aisle Twelve

Yes, I realize that we are almost half way through September and I have yet to publish a post for this month.  My apologies.  To make up for it, I have a double post of good fall recipes for you.  Here you go: Fall. I love it for so many reasons. The first reason being how everything outside is so beautiful. Trees are dressed in brilliant shades of warm colors. I love the crisp air. I love pulling out the sweaters and jeans. I love tailgating. There are so many wonderful things about fall, I haven’t even gotten to the food yet! I absolutely love fall foods. Low and slow stews, caramel apples, mulled cider, warm donuts…I could go on but I’m afraid I’d drool all over the keyboard.  What do you love most about fall? Game Day Cookies So here are the ingredients: first cool weather of the year, first weekend of college football and your husband is hosting a poker party. What does that add up to? Baking of course. I decided that those ingredients were the perfect recipe for game day coo

The first recipe I ever made up on my own came from a craving I was having for chicken enchiladas.  This was a while before I really got into cooking.  I was craving these enchiladas from a restaurant I loved and wondered how they made them taste so good. So one boring day, I decided to try the crazy idea I had of how they might do it and to my pleasant surprise, it turned out quite nice!  This recipe is by no means gourmet or authentic, but I have to say it does get some great reviews when I make it for other people.  It's a pretty quick and easy recipe, not many ingredients and certainly no complicated ingredients.  It's a good, comforting supper that is crowd pleaser.  Get creative with the toppings.  I like sour cream, tomatoes and maybe some guacamole (see Superbowl Guacamole post for recipe).  Serve this with Spanish rice and tortilla chips, and you've got yourself a Mexican fiesta!  Ole!
