Whirl in blender until smooth. </p> <p>Saute a bit of onion and garlic in a little bit of oil, add in spice (chili garlic sauce or crushed red pepper, to taste), (I also throw in a can of diced green chili peppers from the International food aisle). Throw in a can of rinsed black beans and saute for a minute or two. </p> <p>To assemble: spread a layer of the sauce in the bottom of a baking pan. Soften corn tortillas (I like the fry in a bit of oil and stack method), add a smear of the sauce + a sprinkle of cheese (I use Mexican blend) + 2-3 spoonfuls of the black bean mixture, roll and put in pan. In between layers of enchiladas spread sauce, then cheese. Bake...eh, 20-30 minutes at 350, or until heated through/cheese melts. </p> <p>I usually make these vegetarian but have made them with shredded chicken before. Same as above but I mix a bit of the sauce in with the chicken and use less of the black bean mix. </p> <p>It's a bit messy and can be time-consuming, but are so good. I also tend to make too much sauce/bean mix, but they both freeze and reheat well so I pull them out and defrost when I want to make it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-plan#post-781744 Tue, 14 May 2013 21:29:14 +0000 WALLAROO 781744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Garlic mustard chicken drumsticks (or any part of chicken)<br /> 10 chicken drumsticks<br /> 4 tb butter<br /> 2 tb spicy brown mustard<br /> 1tsp garlic powder<br /> 1/8 tsp Pepper</p> <p>Preheat oven to 425<br /> Put chicken on baking sheet<br /> Melt butter in small bowl<br /> Add garlic powder, mustard, and pepper to melted butter.

I usually cook on low for 8 hours &amp; then it is super easy to shred the chicken before serving. You could add cheese or sour cream or anything else on top to serve. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-plan#post-781692 Tue, 14 May 2013 20:54:36 +0000 mrskc 781692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Check out budget bytes.

Uses broth instead of wine as well. Lentil chili. Rice and bean burritos. Homemade pizza. Mexican quinoa salad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-plan#post-781644 Tue, 14 May 2013 20:23:48 +0000 Mrs. Pen 781644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to go grocery shopping tomorrow after work... but I have no ideas for meal planning.
