The other day, I found an "All Natural" whole chicken for $5 at Royal's Food Town. It wasn't organic, but it did say "no hormones, no antibiotics" which for $5, was enough for me, in this case. What did I do with her? Chicken and Dumplings, of course! Yummmmm....Just had some leftovers for lunch.
Last night, I roasted a whole turkey, and made wild rice, cherry and pecan stuffing (I did something wrong here. I think I added too much liquid. It didn't turn out perfect, like I like it.) I also fried up some brussels sprouts in course-ground mustard and soy sauce. Oh yeah.
Now, with my leftover turkey, I'm going to make enchiladas! I'm using inspiration from the Pioneer Woman's recipe but making some adjustments. You can check out her recipe here. Pioneer Woman's Enchiladas
I've always used the enchilada sauce straight from the can, so I am enthusiastic about trying her flour, oil, sauce and broth concoction. You gotta love the pictures, too. She makes everything look so appetizing. I'm dipping a spoon into my computer screen right now. I will have to use flour tortillas since I am out of corn. I have cheddar and a 4 cheese mozzarella blend that I will be working with as well. No chili's either. What I do have is red, green and orange bell peppers. I'm going to roast them, along with some garlic and then add some of the mixture to the sauce and some to the meat. Along with cheese, I like to top with caramelized onions.
I'm "quick-soaking" my beans right now and will get them started here shortly. Lounging around at home with food on the brain. Ahhhhhh, it doesn't get much better than this! Oh wait, maybe the dumping snow out my window adds a little ambiance. Maybe.
