herbed wild rice

As I’m sitting on my couch trying to stay awake, I thought I’d share another recipe with you.  The hubby comes home from warm, sultry Atlanta in a bit.  Fortunately, we live close enough to the airport, I can just leave when he lands.

Anyway, the recipe!  It was a couple days before a long-planned potluck was upon us that I even realized, “oh, I need to make something for that…”  I went to work trying to figure out what I could make that would keep since I had to be at a rehearsal 2 hours before the dinner began.  Then it hit me – duh, the crock pot!

Scattered throughout all my cookbooks are, of course, many slow cooker recipes.  However, my favorite is a whole  magazine devoted to a range of slow cooker recipes.  And, me being me, I can hardly stand repeating recipes so I went on a hunt for a new one.  Obviously, I landed on this wild rice dish.  It was ridiculously easy to prepare and had good responses from the eaters, so high five to !  This one is a keeper.

A few years ago we stayed at my parents’ house for the weekend of Christmas so it was a lovely thing to use their beautiful kitchen!

I was in charge of the turkey and I can’t believe this is the only photo we got of it! But you get the idea…

I did not alter anything from they shared on their website (besides not making the gravy they included).

Not much to say about this one except I remember we loved it. :)

chicken enchiladas with salsa verde

This was a scrumptious version of enchiladas our friends made us one night at their house. Glenda then shared the recipe with me (originally from Cooking Light magazine) and the rest is history!

A couple notes on it:
– I didn’t use a blender for the sauce so it was chunkier. Either way is good.
– The sauce doesn’t “drench” the enchiladas very much, so if you like it saucy, I’d double that part.

Serve it up with Mexican rice, black beans, lime chunks or whatever you like with this type of dish. Enjoy!
