Happy Friday!
The weather is really cooling off and I'm slowly breaking out my warm coats and picking up new pieces to add to my wardrobe. I have a post coming soon with all of my current finds and purchases. In other news, I'm back with another Foodie Friday post!! My first one is posted here! I love food...Lol...that's first and foremost. If you're close to me you'll know. One of my favorite types of food is Mexican; give me all the chips and queso. With that being said I've found one of my favorite recipes for homemade stuffed enchilada shells. This recipe is super quick and easy, great for those nights where you wanna cook dinner but not spend a ton of time making it. I've made this for countless friends and they all enjoyed it. I always pair it with Mexican rice, you can find it at pretty much any grocery store, and it completes the meal. If you want to make it into a healthier option, you can use ground turkey and low fat cheese. I'm sure there are also some other great alternatives out there. Definitely give this recipe a try and let me know if you like it!
