.din.ner. - chicken enchiladas

I made some chicken enchiladas the other night and I swear I felt like I was cheating on my diet! They were filled with shredded chicken and covered with enchilada sauce and a bunch of cheese...

On top of that, I still added a dollop of sour cream and a scoop of avocado.  It was all pretty good!

.lunch. - Black Bean Burger & Simple Salad

This is called a Black Bean Burger.  I got the recipe from Emily Bites.  Her recipe was a spicier version but I cut back on a lot of the spice. I also halved the recipe but I think the egg that the recipe called for was too much for the halved recipe, so next time I'm going to try just an egg white.

I put the patty on a thin bagel that I had spread sour cream on. Then I topped it with avocado, queso fresco and Cholula. 

This is a simple salad I made.  I tore apart some turkey ham, added some corn and a little bit of croutons then topped it of with some Wishbone Light Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette.

break.f.a.s.t. - Turkey Bacon, Egg and Cheese Muffins & Biscuit Cups

Here are a couple of breakfast plates I made this weekend.

This one is a turkey bacon, egg and cheese muffin.  I burned the turkey bacon a little but it was still good.  See that cheese oozing out?  That was the best part. 

These I got from Emily Bites.  She has some really tasty and really "good for you" recipes on her blog.  I already selected a few I'll be trying every week!  I had to adjust this one to fit with the ingredients I had.  These are little cups lined with biscuit dough and filled with egg, turkey bacon and lots o' cheese. 

Here I added sour cream and some Cholula.  These cups were really good and very filling!

a .w.e.d.d.i.n.g. gift

Earlier this month some dear friends of mine got married.  When it came to wrapping the gift, I wanted to try something different.  I've been pinning a lot of different ways to use doilies especially with gift wrapping.  So this is what I came up with:

So then I thought, how are they going to know who it's from?  So I made a tag.  I like this side better than the other side...

This side though, I didn't like at all.  Mainly because my cursive suuuuucks and it's definitely something I need to work on.  But oh well!
