Fish Fingers

I made fish sticks for dinner last night. It was so easy and healthy since they are baked. The kids really liked the "Fish Fingers" as they insisted on calling them. It was a little salty, so I would say you can cut down or even cut out the salt in the breading because you'll get probably enough from the sauce/ketchup. My husband and I used a sweet chili sauce and it was quite tasty!

Honey Lime Green Chile Enchiladas

Apparently I started to blog it and I was just waiting for myself to upload a photo. Here's the recipe! : )

Ok, so it took longer than I intended for me to post this, but I am doing it! :) here is a recipe for some yummy enchiladas with a twist. Any kind of meat works, even just boiled chicken breast. I used leftovers from the pork I mentioned in the previous post and it was DELICIOUS! The only thing is, you have to remember that the meat needs to marinate. It really makes a difference.

Ingredients:

Marinade:
6 T honey
5 T lime juice
1 T chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Enchiladas:
1 lb chicken, cooked and shredded
8-10 flour tortillas
1 lb Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded
19 oz can green enchilada sauce
1 c heavy cream

Directions:
Whisk the first four ingredients and toss with shredded chicken in a Zip-Loc bag. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least a 1/2 hour, but preferably a half day or so.

Pour about 1/2 cup enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9X13 baking pan. Fill the tortillas with chicken and cheese, saving about 1 cup of cheese to sprinkle on top of enchiladas. Put rolled tortillas in 9x13 pan as you go. Mix the remaining enchilada sauce with the cream and any leftover marinade (I usually don't have any left). Pour sauce on top of the enchiladas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. At this point you can freeze the dish or bake at 350* for 30 minutes, until brown and crispy on top. ENJOY!

Genious!

Ok, ok! I promise I *will* get around to posting that enchilada recipe. I have to find it first. We're in the middle of moving across the country. We made it to the other side but now we're stuck in corporate housing while we find permanent housing so I don't have any of my stuff. Stuff that I didn't realize how much I loved until I didn't have it. Like my kitchen stuff. Ok, so maybe I knew how much I loved that stuff ; ) Anyways, my daughter got a puzzle. She's 3. She's not very good at keeping things together like my older son. I think the system I have been using for his puzzles will come in handy for her. We've never had to actually use it for him. I know she's going to mix all the pieces together and won't it be oh so fun to sort them all out??? Here's my solution.

So we assign each puzzle a number, letter, symbol, word... whatever they want. Then we write that on the box and the back of the puzzle pieces so if (when) they all get jumbled together it's not an impossible task. Simple but SO useful! : )
