your FAVORITE enchilada at home (trust me)
Yesterday I shared with you my favorite Slow Cooker Mexican Shredded Beef. Today it is all about using that shredded beef to make AMAZING Shredded Beef Enchiladas. Trust me you will not need to go to your favorite Mexican restaurant after you have these enchiladas…at least I don’t have too. Beef and Bean is the BEST (according to The Hubby) Anytime we go to our local Mexican restaurant The Hubby will get a beef & bean burrito and I will usually get enchiladas. Sometimes I will get cheese enchiladas and sometimes I will get beef enchiladas, but my favorite is a shredded beef version. There is only one place close…

one dish with so many options
It is cold outside, a brisk wind is blowing and maybe even a few snowflakes are falling (at least that is my vision of winter from my warm weather Texas world) and that means it is SLOW COOKER weather!! My favorite slow cooker dishes are the ones that can be used for more than one dish. This Mexican Slow Cooker Beef not only tastes amazing but can be used for so many dishes. This is a must make ASAP! Let it go One of the best parts of slow cookers is that you throw everything in and then forget about it. I love recipes like this so much, especially for those…

bring on the cool weather and the slow cooker
So in 80% of the country it is Fall. There are cooler temps, leaves changing colors and the smell of burning fireplaces in the air (oh how I love that smell). Where in live in SE Texas we are still in the 80’s (that feel like the 90’s some days) and haven’t put away our flips flops just yet…but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy some cool weather yummies from the slow cooker. One of the first requests each Fall… The Hubby always has his requests when it comes to food, he even looks on Pinterest to get inspiration from time to time, but each Fall he always requests Beef…

An Update for Taco Tuesday
Does your family have Taco Tuesday every week? I love the idea and just may have to make it a weekly deal in our home…especially is this taco skillet was on the menu. No Mess… I don’t know about you but one of my least favorite things about hard (& some soft) tacos is how messy they can be. Don’t get me wrong I am a fan of messy food (sometimes the messier the better) but not when all the yummy is in the mess and not in my mouth. You know what I’m talking about…when you take the first bite of the taco and all the best parts (the…

grilled goodness for DAD
Father’s Day is this weekend! That’s so crazy. I can’t believe it is already the middle of June and time to celebrate the men in our lives. Celebrating DAD In our home, Father’s Day has always included a home cooked meal, whatever my dad wants, and then typically we watch golf. The US Open Golf Tournament is usually on so we have to watch, & that is a must watch. Over time we have had everything from BBQ sandwich’s to pasta, but this year we are going to take things up a notch and light up the grill. Now I know what your thinking…the grill is Dad’s domain, but trust…

stay in for this favorite…fajitas
The Hubby has started cross fit in the last couple of months…yes I said The Hubby is doing cross fit. Now just to be clear, I am not doing cross fit The Hubby is doing cross fit and I am so, so proud of him. He has been so committed and goes at 6:00 AM, 3 days a week and in turn I have been trying to feed him a little better (with a few indulgences here and there). One of the things The Hubby has been really craving and needing is protein and I think he could eat grilled meat 6 times a day, and especially fajitas. He has…

fajita skewers please…
Who is ready for grilling season…I AM!! There is just something so great about getting outside and cooking over an open fire (or having The Hubby do it) and experiencing the great flavors that come with it. It just seems to make everything taste better, even the stuff that isn’t cooked on the grill….and especially these fajita skewers. Living in SE Texas definitely has its perks and one of the big ones is almost year round grilling and these fajita skewers are a must make. Fajita’s are a favorite when we go out to one of our favorite Tex-mex restaurants but they can be loaded with extra fat and…

A special treat…beef tenderloin
In my family beef is always on the menu for special events and this Peppercorn Crusted Beef Tenderloin is quite the treat. As I have mentioned before my Mammaw is in a memory care facility and sometimes leaving there can be difficult for her (especially in the evening) so to make Christmas special for her we did an early Christmas lunch at our home. To make this super special I decided to make this beef tenderloin and boy oh boy was it AMAZING! After researching several different cooking methods and seasoning combos I decided to keep it simple, in my opinion simply seasoned beef really seems to be best…
