Make it Work!

This week has been non stop for me so yet again quick, easy, and delicious is key! Also, its a great way for me to unwind!! I got a lot of good feedback from people about the oatmeal banana pancakes so I decided to try another new one... healthy apple pancakes!! I absolutely love apples and always have them in the fridge so perfect for me!!

Apple Pancakes

1/3c oats
1/4c flour
1/2t baking powder
1/2t cinnamon
2 large eggs
1/4c milk
1c apple, grated

Mix oats,flour, baking powder, cinnamon.  In separate bowl beat eggs and milk. Add your grated apple and mix. Add both and mix. Heat pan and make your yummy apple pancakes!! You can add nuts, raisins, etc. Also you can add 1/4t vanilla.  I didn't try this, but will next time!

Next dinner! I had planned to make Goulash this morning but by the end of the day I wanted Mexican.  I always make chicken enchiladas, but never beef...so of course that sounded delicious! I hate enchilada sauce so I decide to find a cheese sauce enchilada recipe! Well I thought I had everything I needed...ehhh wrong!! I hade to make it work because the meat was cooking already! Well I first needed taco seasoning so made my own. This recipe will make alot so you will have some for the next few times!! I made half the recipe below and still had leftover.

Taco Seasoning

4T chili powder
1& 1/2t garlic powder
3/4t onion powder
3/4t red pepper flakes
1& 1/2t dried oregano
1/4c paprika
1/4t cumin
3t salt
3t pepper

Soo cook your meat with diced green onion until no longer pink. Add taco seasoning (I used about 2T) and 1/4c water. Simmer until water is almost gone.  Here is where I again had to make it work.  The recipe called for 1c plain yogurt 2c mozzarella and 1 can cream of chicken. Well I had the cheese only..hahha.  Soooo I used a can of Campbell's Cheddar Cheese soup that ive had in my cupboard for a while and all I had was a 5oz vanilla greek yogurt. ..yeh I was like eww this is not gonna work and it looked ehhh..BUT it was Fabulous!! Mix those three things together.  Then you put some of the cheese mix on a flour tortilla then adf meat roll up repeat... put leftover cheese mix over top. Bake 350 20 minutes!! Add sour cream, lettuce, whatever suits you!! I was expecting it to be bad... but the cheese sauce was definitely a must make again!!! I sure did Make it work....Tim Gunn would be proud!!  Off to practice my singing skils while watching America Idol!! Hahaha
