Remember Taco Night, Done Right?

I repeated the same recipes for the beans + tater and veggie mix.  Roasted in the oven, because we’re out of grilling gas!

I wanted to make enchiladas, stuff them with the taco mix, and drown them in enchilada sauce.

I’ve never purchased enchilada sauce before.

So, I figured my first time using it, I should make it.

Thanks to Emily for her super quick Enchilada Sauce recipe!  Doubled it + freezing some of the leftovers.

Birthday present for the boy.

The Ansel Adams print was a Christmas gift + it needed a frame!

I mounted + framed it today.  Quite pleased with how it turned out.

Snacks!

Including Kelsey’s, ridiculously amazing, Chipotle impersonator guacamole.  Better than my last batch from Chipotle.  No joke.

Extra large birthday card.  [mounted it to foam board, which I had to tape to the frame b/c the original back-piece wouldn’t fit]
