Cheese Enchiladas

Spicy authentic enchilada sauce is the star in this cheese filled indulgent meal. 



We never ate Mexican food growing up. There only spices my dad likes is pretty much salt and pepper.  So anything that required more spices than that never made it to our table . When I moved to Houston with my ex husband, I got to experience authentic Mexican food and I instantly fell in love. Not being a fan of ground beef, I gravitated toward cheese enchiladas, or chicken enchiladas. 

I've been in the cheesy spicy kinda mood lately. So I decided to make a dish I hadn't made in years, Cheese Enchiladas. I have to say I could live on cheese enchiladas, for the rest of my life, LOL. The sauce is so simple to make and is bursting with Mexican flavors. AND who can resist melty cheese? A match made in heaven!






Enchilada Sauce


2 Tbs oil (I used an avocado/coconut blend)
1/4 C flour 
3 Tbs chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp dehydrated onion
pinch cayenne pepper powder
1/4 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp garlic powder 
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 C chicken stock

In a sauce pot heat the oil over medium heat. Add in the flour, mix to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add in the remaining seasonings, mixing until clumpy but combined.  Slowly whisk in the chicken stock, until mixture is smooth. Cook for 10 minutes, until sauce has thickened.

Cheese Enchiladas


8-10 small flour tortillas
2 1/2 C of sharp cheddar, shredded
1 C Colby jack cheese, shredded
red enchilada sauce

In a large baking dish, ladle enough enchilada sauce to cover the bottom of the dish. Take your tortilla and spread a bit of enchilada sauce onto it (some people like to dip their tortillas into the sauce,  but I find it too messy). Take a big handful of Cheddar cheese and place it in the center of the tortilla. Fold over the 2 sides, so they cover the cheese and each other. Place seem side down into baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Ladle remaining enchilada sauce over stuffed tortillas and sprinkle with Colby jack cheese. Cover with foil and bake at 375, for 25 mins, until cheese is melted through.  Uncover and bake for 10 minutes. Let sit 10 mins before serving.

No Yeast Old Fashion Cinnamon Rolls

 These delicious cinnamon sticky rolls have been in my family for over 40 yrs. No yeast is required, so you can whip up a batch of these in no time. Still tender, sticky sweet and delicious! Ever since I can remember Mom would make these as a special treat. It wasn't too often, but every once in a while, we'd come home to these no yeast cinnamon rolls, as an after school snack. Growing up, this is what I thought cinnamon rolls were. I wasn't aware that there was a yeast version of cinnamon rolls. As much as I LOVE the yeast version, this no yeast version seems to make an appearance more frequently here at home.  Since there is no yeast in the dough, it does not need to rise for 30 minutes before being rolled out and baked. When I worked in the retirement home the residents were always excited when I made these cinnamon rolls. They said it reminded them of their childhood. It was amazing seeing how happy a simple recipe could make them. I don't make these very often and ...

50+ Creative Cottage Meal Ideas

When the warm weather hits many of us head to the cottage, to enjoy the sunshine and time near the water. Instead of always packing up burgers and hot dogs, I've rounded up over 50 creative meal ideas for delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Ever since I was little my family always enjoyed a few weeks camping at a near by provincial park, during the summer months. When us kids, became older and moved away, Mom and Dad bought a trailer which remained parked at a location, so we would often go and visit for a few weeks then too. My mom has always been an amazing cook and with her outside kitchen often made our family favourites, even at camp. Now that my SO and his family have a cottage, we are frequently there for most of the summer. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs seem to be our go to, so I wanted to collect new creative meals perfect to make while camping, or at the cottage.  Breakfast Recipes Healthy Banana Milkshake Thick, creamy banana milkshake made without ice cream, dairy, and...

Crockpot Moose Stew

Tender wild moose, is slow cooked all day with potatoes, peas, carrots and herbs, resulting in a hearty and delicious cold weather dish. I can say that I've missed blogging. I've missed creating recipes, taking photographs and sharing them with you. Sometimes life gets in the way, which is the case here. Five years ago my life took a turn I never thought it would. I suddenly found myself as a single mom, who suddenly had to find a job and be both mom and dad to my children. That transition, along with trying to heal a hurt and broken heart, was too much to focus on and things like my blog fell to the wayside. They say things in your life happen for a reason and that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Well let me tell you, I was able to build myself back up and show my children that their mom is a strong and determined woman that will always be there for them, even when she feels defeated. Five years later, I can proudly say that I am doing better then I have in a lon...
