Week 19: Holiday Pains…and Gains This past week seemed to pass very quickly. We kept ourselves very busy with work and holiday activities, and also managed to get some running in too! One of the ways I tend to make my life easier during the week is taking the time to [...] Quick and Tasty Soup for a Light Lunch! On Thursday, I left work just before lunch in order to get a lot of housework done and get a nap (i.e. attempt to catch up on sleep) after my week on the rig. I had already eaten a piece of the decadent Vegan Mocha Cake I made [...] Hatch Chile and Goat Cheese Enchilada Casserole: Okay, you may not have seen Hatch Chiles before. I certainly hadn’t before I moved down to Texas…Oh how I didn’t know what I was missing! Hatch Chiles come from Hatch, New Mexico and are in season typically in August.

Okay…sorry for being MIA for such a long time, life has been crazy…First off, it’s official, we’re buying a house! Second, we had a house guest for over a week that required a lot of extra time from us…Third, training has taken a lot of my time, preparing for a number of [...] “Breakfast” Cake…Because Why Not Cake For Breakfast? What makes a “breakfast cake”??? Well, in this case, my co-workers were highly anticipating my arrival with my strawberry themed cake and couldn’t wait to eat it…for breakfast! I thought that was an ok proposition, as you’ll see, this cake is more of a quick bread than a cake [...] American Twists to a Classic Mexican Dish… I was first introduced to calabacita con pollo at our favorite tex-mex restaurant, Sylvia’s Enchilada Kitchen (see capirotada and fajitas posts).
