Chicken Enchilada Casserole

This recipe is very hearty. I recommend it as a dip rather than entree. 
Final Product
Okay, so lets get started with this. I made my red enchilada sauce early in the day. If you are using traditional enchilada sauce it will come in a green can. But, this is the United States and I am doing it my way. Unless I am eating salad or guacamole - I do not like eating anything green. Dr. Seuss can take that green eggs and ham and eat it himself.

I am feeling a little lazy today, so I will spare you the details and just show you in photos how I made this recipe.

If anyone wants the recipe, leave a comment on this blog and I will respond.

Diet Change

Many of you have noticed by now that I am not making as many treats as I did before.

My two year old son has been eating too many cookies, and it is completely my fault. He is not getting chubby or anything, but he is getting too spoiled and picky. He is on a no-cookie diet for a few months.

I am on a high protein diet, so many of the things that I publish are things only my husband will eat. My diet consists of egg whites, chicken, fish, rice and vegetables. I have not had time lately to really sit down and think of creative ways to cook high protein meals.

If you are wondering why I changed my diet, it is because I started a new workout routine almost two months ago. It consists of weights and a lot of resistance training. I am trying to put on as much muscle as I can until late March. In March, I will cut back the protein, increase the complex carbohydrates and start high intensity cardio workouts. I am getting ready for bikini season ten months early.

I will be publishing some high protein healthy recipes for you health nuts soon.

xxxooo

Orange Chocolate Cake


Today I baked two dozen chocolate cupcakes with a faithful, basic recipe. It is one of those recipes that will go wrong only when a person makes an effort to mess things up.  Last night I experimented, making three kinds of frosting. I made an simple butter cream frosting (butter, granulated sugar, confection sugar, orange concentrate, finely grated orange peel). I made a creamy filling with confection sugar, and French Vanilla coffee creamer. I know what you are thinking, what in the hell was I thinking using the coffee creamer to make the frosting? I used only two tablespoons, a little milk, and presto…a very unique frosting. It was all about experimentation. What is the point of making desserts if one is unwilling to use their imagination? My imagination did not stop with the French Vanilla Coffee creamer; I made the last glaze with confection sugar and diet Mug Root Beer Soda. It came out a dark, translucent beige color.
