Hamburger Patties that Hold Together!

Hamburger Patties that Hold Together!

The number one complaint I hear about using home-made hamburger patties is that they fall apart on the grill. I’ve solved that problem with a couple extra ingredients and some resting time in the fridge! My rule of thumb for helping burgers stick together on […]

Fruit Salad

Fruit Salad

Fruit Salad = Summer Rainbow Giddiness In Your Mouth Traditionally My family served this with dinner as a side salad, but I legitimately think of it as a dessert. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not as heavy as a Reese’s Cheesecake, but it is sweet, creamy […]

Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

Carrot Cake Sugar Cookies

Carrot Cake Sugar Cookies

I love decorating sugar cookies for ALL the Holidays, but a plain vanilla sugar cookie just didn’t seem festive enough for this Easter. So I’m bringing you a twist on one of Easter’s most classic desserts: Carrot Cake! These carrot cake sugar cookies are complete […]

Classic and Comforting Chicken Noodle Soup

Classic and Comforting Chicken Noodle Soup

When a cold, rainy day comes along, a simple and comforting bowl of soup seems to always slide onto our menu. There’s something very meditative about peeling and chopping all of the vegetables and tossing them into an aromatic pot of boiling broth. It really […]

My Diary

Chicken and Garden Enchiladas with Cilantro Avocado Cream Sauce (No Cheese!)

Chicken and Garden Enchiladas with Cilantro Avocado Cream Sauce (No Cheese!)

If I knew how to make dairy free enchiladas growing up, I would have been a way bigger fan of Mexican food. I’ve never been too big on cheese, unless it was in my mom’s lasagna or on pizza. Cheese and I have a complicated relationship. But when I found this vegan recipe from Angela Liddon over at Oh She Glows, I fell in love and added a little chick chick chicken to it. I love adding lean meats to vegan dishes because usually they’re LOADED with veggies and other goodies so you don’t have to worry about making a side to pair with them. They’re the ultimate, one pan/one pot meal makers.

One pan of these enchiladas feeds four really hungry people without any other sides, but 6-8 people if you have some rice and beans to go along with it. I always have avocado cilantro lime sauce left over that pairs excellently with eggs and salsa the next morning. 👌🏼

If you’re looking to save time, don’t sweat the home made enchilada sauce, store bought will do.

Below is the link to the original vegan recipe over at Oh She Glows.
