Pure Comfort Enchiladas
So, we live in California and one of the perks that goes with the outrageous amount of money we spend on houses and property taxes is that we are surrounded by the best Mexican food in America. And of all the Mexican food available, the Enchilada is by far my favorite. It’s a squishy, yummy, delicious combination of all the best flavors our California Mexican food has to offer. And I say Californian Mexican food, because it really is it’s own style of mexican food. I’ve been to Mexico. I’ve eaten the food, got the t-shirt. I honestly prefer ours California version. And when it comes to Mexican restaurants here in CA, I quite honestly judge them based on their enchiladas. Ok, their chips and salsa have to be good to. And their Guacamole. And their chile rellenos better be good too. I know. I’m judgmental.
These enchiladas are the perfect comfort food and quite amazing. Pixie always has second helpings when these pop out of the oven.
Hubby’s note: These things are ridiculous. They’re so good in fact that they are almost a substitute for sex. But not quite. I prefer mine with no cheese, for Lactosian reasons. But I HIGHLY recommend adding ground beef to these. My wife makes me my own separate enchilada pie with no cheese and lots and lots of taco meat (ground beef soaked in taco seasoning). HUBBY APPROVED!
Super Duper Spaghetti
About every three weeks, Pixie will turn to me and say “Mommy will you PLEASE make Mommy Spaghetti? PLEASE!” As if she’s a starved child who is fed sub-par food everyday of her life. So in my most dramatic four year old voice I respond with, “Oh Pixie! I would LOVE to make you spaghetti tonight.” So, I always have the items for my spaghetti on hand. Here we go!
Hubby’s note: Recurring theme…this meal is amazing! I LOVE this spaghetti and I don’t even like tomatoes. The only way it could get better is if she added some garlic…er…
