I love enchiladas on a week night. They are quick to throw together and bake up quickly in the oven.
Last weekend I stumbled upon a recipe for black bean and sour cream enchiladas from Keep It Simple Foods. I'd also seen a picture on Pinterest for a black bean and corn salsa. It looked delicious as well. So I combined the two ideas for my mid-week dinner. It turned out extraordinarily well.
I found a recipe for enchilada sauce and then set about throwing together this perfect week night dinner.

Enchilada Sauce |
Enchiladas are one of my favorite Mexican dishes. I love how easy they are to make on a busy night.
I am guilty of buying the box kits because I prefer the "bag of sauce" over buying the metallic-tasting canned sauce. I never put a lot of thought into making my own enchilada sauce. I always figured it would be too time consuming, especially for my busy weeknights.
Boy was I wrong!

Raspberry Oven Pancake with Lemon Sugar |
I am a morning person. I get up at 6am on my days off. People tell me this is not normal. Oh well. I love starting the day off with a good breakfast, especially on days that I have to work.
I need the energy and happy feelings that a home-cooked breakfast bring into my world.
I love sitting down to eat breakfast with a hot cup of tea and a book and forgetting about the fact that I have to leave the comfort of my kitchen in the near future. Unfortunately I'm good at forgetting. I always lose track of time and end up running 5 minutes late. Oh well.

Crepes with Cranberry-Apple Compote |
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. My whole day feels wrong if I can't start the day with a good homemade breakfast.
This morning I woke up an hour and a half early. I blame this stupid time change. But at least it gave me time to make a good breakfast.
