Six Sisters' Stuff: Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas

When Chris had his appendectomy, his cousin and his wife brought us these. They are the best! I begged her for the recipe and she told me it comes from Six Sisters' Stuff. Their mobile website isn't working and since I'm NOT going to lose this recipe I am posting it here.

MARINADE:
6 T honey
5 T lime juice
1 T chili powder
1/2 t garlic powder

ENCHILADAS:
1 lb chicken cooked and shredded (about 4 chicken breasts)
8-10 flour tortillas
1 lb Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded
16 oz green enchilada sauce
1 c heavy cream

DIRECTIONS:
Whisk the first four ingredients and toss with shredded chicken in a Ziplock.

Let it marinate in the fridge for at least half an hour but preferable a half day or so.

Pour about 1/2 c enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 pan.

Fill the tortillas with chicken and a little bit of shredded cheese.

Roll them up and put them in the pan.

Add rest of the marinade to the enchilada sauce and mix in heavy cream (if you don't have heavy cream you can easily make some using 2/3 cup milk and 1/3 cup melted butter).

Pour mixture over tortillas and then cover the enchiladas with cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes until cheese is melted.

Broccoli Cheese Soup

This reminds me of Panera Bread's Broccoli Cheese soup but it's loaded with more veggies I think. We love this soup and stole this recipe from Lulu the Baker.

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup finely chopped carrot
1 celery stick, finely chopped
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
4 cups chicken broth

1 Tablespoon flour
1/2 cup water
2/3 cup milk
2 cups chopped broccoli
2 heaping cups shredded cheddar cheese

DIRECTIONS:
Melt the butter in a large soup pot.

Add onions, carrots, and celery and saute over medium heat until tender.

Add garlic and cook 1 or 2 additional minutes.

Add chicken broth and potatoes, bring to a boil, and cook until potatoes are tender.

Mix flour with water, add, and simmer until soup is slightly thickened.

Add milk and broccoli and cook until broccoli is just tender and soup is heated through.

Stir in cheese, allow to melt, and serve.

Instant Chocolate Pudding

Yet another stolen recipe. This time from betterwithcake.com. Apparently she fed this to someone who HATES avocados and they loved it so those avocados are easily disguised :) I changed this recipe to non-healthy. I'm not afraid of sugar :) She uses Stevia and Maple Syrup and I tried it that way but I wasn't thrilled.

Ingredients:
2 avocados
2 Tablespoons of cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
a pinch of salt

4) Add cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla, and salt and blend/pulse/whisk again until smooth, glossy and well combined.

Her pic :)

Note:
You can also spoon the mix into a Ziplock bag and snip off a corner to pipe into cute little cups which is what she did.
