I made this tonight and it was SO yummy, I had to share. I got the recipe from my Maui Tacos cookbook. If you've never been to Maui Tacos, do yourself a flavor and GO THERE.

I spent yesterday sitting at home, nursing a sinus infection and wondering what I could possibly have for lunch with the few staples we still actually have in our chicken. For whatever reason (probably because I was cold) I really wanted some soup. Chicken noodle soup, to be exact.

Lately I have been seeing a lot of recipes on here that call for 'enchilada' sauce. I have been trying to find a canned version but have had no such luck. So, I was checking out recipes and happened across an enchilada recipe!

Don't ask me why it's called this, because honestly, I have no idea. But I must say that it looks absolutely scrumptious and I have a feeling that this recipe could become a staple in my diet! Anything with pesto these days...

Sometimes a recipe can be too obvious and takes a special kitchen fairy to think of it. (No, I'm not referring to myself!) Many of us like quick and easy recipes that contain items we most likely already have in our kitchens. This is a quick and fabulous meal that anyone can make.

I've never made this before, but since I am obsessed with the HOUSE OF TSANG® BANGKOK PADANG™ Peanut Sauce this is on my list to try. As soon as I try this, I post my opinion on it. Enjoy!

Headed out of town for a few days so I played around with some things in my fridge that would go bad before I left. Another inspiration for this was a) the cold and b) a lasagna sauce recipe my friend gave me:
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
1 tsp minced garlic (~1 clove)
2 tsp olive oil
2 cups kale, chopped
1 cup spinach, fresh
1 can diced tomatoes
1/2 small can tomato paste
1 1/2 cups basic tomato sauce
2 tsp italian seasoning
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp freshly ground sea salt
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp brown sugar
whole wheat rotini, cooked according to package instructions
feta cheese, crumbled
Heat large skillet over medium-high heat. Once heated, add olive oil.
