Easy Veggie Enchiladas

2014-12-19 20.37.10

Holy moly. Can you believe that 2014 is practically over? There are amazing opportunities for growth, goal setting, and to break out of that comfort zone. I am really looking forward to having my book come out in just a few months. It amazes me that I really have had this as part of my life’s purpose but only recently have tuned in to make space for this to become a reality.

As I continue to crank out this fantastic book, I am really busy in the kitchen testing out the oldies and improving those recipes to make them divinely delicious (and simple) for all readers. But I gave myself a break last week and decided I wanted to make enchiladas (something I have NEVER made before). I love the idea of having a brown rice tortilla drenched in a tangy, spicy sauce and having it bake until it melts in your mouth.

Having my own apartment really gives me the urge to invite people over to cook for them. I invited my best friend over last week and was thrilled to be able to cook for her. This brings me great joy, especially now that I have adequate counter space and proper tools, which is so essential when having a stress free and meditative experience while cooking. But really the best part is sharing love through food. Seriously…food is love. Let’s love love love love more.

This cold weather really has me in soup mode so I was in desperate need to create something comforting, warming, delicious and not in broth form. Voila, this casserole was born. The best part? I’m pretty sure you have these things on hand and in your pantry making this an extra cheap, easy eat for dinner any day of the week. Grab that casserole pan and let’s get cozy!

I have the most sensitive stomach/gut. When my stomach is upset, the rest of my body feels it. I tend to break out, feel overly exhausted, grumpy or even just plain old fat and gross. Yes, I said but I know you feel me. One thing that always helps me feel balanced and ready to take on anything are some handy dandy probiotics. I’m talking about some sexy good bacteria to balance out the bacteria that already exists in your body.
