thankful thursday - the night team.


blakey is on nights right now, which isn't very fun.  but he is lucky to have an awesome night team - jamie lynn, gretchen, & amy {not pictured... busy busy working}.  they have team dinner once a week & this week was blake's turn!

& that, of course, meant it is my turn :)

these new recipes from pinterest turned out pretty darn well.  i heart you, pinterest.

spicy avacado chicken enchiladas
adapted from: the novice chef

i actually followed this recipe pretty darn closely.  i used evoo instead of butter.  i almost never use butter in savory cooking.  at first, it was just because olive oil was easier.  then i fell in love with the taste of it.  & then i learned it was healthier.  heck yes.

i used jalapenos instead of serranos.  & i threw half of a red onion in the sauce as well.  vanity onions, make everything prettier.

& i sauteed the yellow onion before putting it in the enchiladas.

they were quite delicious!


roasted corn & avocado salad with cilantro vinaigrette
adapted from: authentic suburban gourmet

i actually followed this one pretty closely as well.  {are you impressed??}  i roasted my corn in the oven since we have no grill.  husks on.  400 degrees for about 30 minutes.  it comes out perfectly.  

& i used minced garlic instead of the powder, of course.

also very good.  fresh but the feta added just the right amount of creamy.  a great side dish for mexican food.


i heart the night team.  such a wonderful group of people.  thank you for hanging out with my husband for the next few weeks.  & taking care of him.  & making sure he eats good food.

i hope you can think of something for which you are thankful today.

love love,
kjp.
