Tacos were on the menu last week, but I decided to play with the ingredients. I made enchilada sauce and then a couple of pans of enchiladas. I had made enchiladas before years ago with store bought sauce. I figured it was time to try my hand at making some from scratch.
I also tried making Mexican rice I’ve made some in the past, but I did it different this time. I made it with already cooked brown rice. It tasted good, it was just really moist.
The Enchiladas came out ok, but not perfect. I assembled them, including putting the sauce on them, then let them sit for about an hour before I put them in the oven. They came out soggy. So I need to work on that, too. The enchilada sauce was yummy, though! Recipe coming later this week.
Now…. to answer the question that I get asked about a hundred times a day……….What’s For Dinner? See my menu below!
It’s Fall! After the first week of fall, my yard is starting to look like it’s fall.
My Burning Bush is getting berries, and the leaves are starting to turn red.
Zach found an activity in his English book that he wanted to do this week. He made 20 cut outs of his hands to make a game.
It is time for a FIRST Wild Card Tour book review! If you wish to join the FIRST blog alliance, just click the button. We are a group of reviewers who tour Christian books. A Wild Card post includes a brief bio of the author and a full chapter from each book toured. The reason it is called a FIRST Wild Card Tour is that you never know if the book will be fiction, non~fiction, for young, or for old…or for somewhere in between! Enjoy your free peek into the book!
You never know when I might play a wild card on you!
I recently received the books Grace Unplugged and Own It to review. Grace Unplugged is based on the motion picture of the same name. Own It, mentioned in the film, helps you discover what it means to really “own” your personal faith rather than just automatically following in the footsteps of parents, friends, or other influencers.
As part of the Schoolhouse Review Crew, I received The Presidential Game game to review. The Presidential Game is a fun way to learn about the presidential election and the electoral college.
The Presidential Game, which sells on the website for $35, is for ages 11 to adult. Since the game is played with teams, younger children can be included on teams with adults. This is a great family game.
