Mother's Day is coming...

Mother's Day is fast approaching and also happens to be my favorite holiday of the year! I think it may be because it is a day that is all about me and my beautiful children.

Well, this year it is all new, I am now married and have gained two additional children to which will get to share this holiday.

What do I want you ask, nothing too flashy just a new car maybe. 

All joking aside what I really want is to jump in the car, husband and kids in tow and drive to Bishop for the weekend to be with my Nana. It has been just over 6 months since I last saw her and before that way longer (shame on me!).

She is a graceful 93 years old and just so happens to be MY person, she was always there for me growing up! From helping me out financially over the years when I wasn't doing so great to taking me to the DMV when I was 16 years old to get my driver's license. I miss her dearly, there isn't a day that goes by that she isn't somewhere in my thoughts.






Tea Party Fun





This past Saturday I had the honor of helping my sister-in-law (also Amy Martin :)) prepare a lovely tea party for our mother-in-law Gabi. Amy went all out and obviously spared no expense because this tea party had everything you could ever want!













Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas







Ingredients:
  • 2 lbs. Chicken Breast
  • 1 can (28 oz.) Las Palmas Medium Green Chile Enchilada Sauce
  • 1 Large Brown Onion
  • 1 Bag Mild Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 bag small flour tortillas

Boil chicken, about 20 minutes.
Shred Chicken Breast with a fork
Chop onion
In a bowl mix the shredded chicken and the onion together, add some of the green sauce just enough to make the mixture stick together (about 1/2 cup)
Spray baking dish with non-stick spray
Fill tortillas with mixture, add some of the green sauce* and cheese
Roll tortillas and place side by side in baking dish
Cover with foil and bake about 30 - 40 minutes
Remove foil and bake for another 10 - 15 minutes

*I usually pour all of the green sauce into a salad dressing bottle because it's easier to pour.
