Make My Meal Monday

Yes I know its Tuesday...I was lazy yesterday, oops. Yesterday I made a double batch of these. One for us, and one for our friends who just had a beautiful baby girl! Relatively easy, this was one of my first "Impress the future Hubby" Dishes. It takes a few ingredients and time, so I dont make them much anymore. Needless to say he was happy yesterday! Here ya go, enjoy!!!

Enchiladas
This is the single recipe, not doubled!

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef season with cumin, chili powder and adobo seasoning to taste.
pkg 8 large tortillas
1 can refried beans
2 cans enchilada sauce
1 pkg cheddar cheese






1. Brown ground beef and drain. Add 1/2 can of enchilada sauce and about 1/2cup of cheese. Stir together and simmer.









2. Spread some refried beans onto the tortilla like so. Skip this step if you arent a bean fan!











3. Add some meat mixture to tortilla.












4. Fold each end in and roll to create the enchilada.












5. Repeat until all are filled. Reserve some
meat mix for topping.











6. Spread remaining meat on top of enchiladas.

Thoughtful Thursday

The case as captivated the nation. I was in shock hearing "NOT Guilty" on all counts other than lying to law enforcement. Just typing that, you all know who I'm talking about..Casey Anthony. Today is her sentencing and all of Orlando is riveted by the thought she could get out today!

People have bashed the jurors saying she killed her daughter, and I dont contest that, but I think there wasnt enough proof to convict her. They failed to show how, where and when it happened. No one doubts that she is evil, not reporting your child missing for 31 days, lying to police about her, making up imaginary people, this girl is seriously messed up. The evidence showed chloroform and duct tape.Thats what I think happened. Casey used chloroform to make Caylee sleep, then duct taped her mouth shut to keep her quiet, and put her in the trunk. How else could she spend the night at her boyfriends house when "Zanny" didnt exist? I think she accidentally overdosed her or the tape covered her nose and mouth and it was an "accident" Whatever happened we will never know the truth and I will be happy when this case is over.

I will be happy to see this allover,and I know one day, She will face God, the ultimate and final Judge and Jury!!

Make My Meal Monday

There is one recipe I know off the top of my head. It's my go to dessert, the one thing people ask me to make and for a long time I was all nervous cooking any dessert for anyone. I should call it my In law pie, my father in law jokes that I cant come to their house unless I make this for him! So, here's my ultra fancy, first dessert I ever learned!
Peanut Butter Pie



Ingredients:
1 pre-made pie crust (oreo, chocolate are best)
1 pkg of cream cheese softened
1 cup of crunchy peanut butter
1/4 cup of  powdered sugar
1 tub of cool whip
Chocolate sauce for topping


1. Mix cream cheese and sugar together.
2. Add peanut butter and mix thoroughly.
3. Add cool whip and mix evenly. 
4. Put into pie pan and top with chocolate sauce. 

So, thats it! My super easy once secret pie recipe. Now, I've never made this the same way twice, so if you asked me a year ago what was in it, was different, but enjoy!!!!
