BBQ Chicken Enchilada Bake

One of my friends had a baby recently, so I brought a dinner to share with them.  Whenever I do that, I make double so we get dinner, too!  After constructing their meal as traditional enchiladas and rolling many little tortillas, I decided to do something a little simpler for our version and make it into an oven bake.  Mexican and barbecue are both popular in our house, so this is the perfect combination!

BBQ Chicken Enchiladas

Ingredients:
1 lb. chicken breasts
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1 (12 count) package of corn tortillas
1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup corn (I used frozen)
1 cup enchilada sauce (homemade or store bought)
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
2-3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Optional toppings: sour cream, avocado, hot sauce, cilantro

In a slow cooker, combine chicken and 1/2 cup bbq sauce.  Cook for 6-8 hours on low until easily shredded with a fork.  Alternatively, cook chicken in oven or on stove top and shred.
Combine chicken with black beans and corn and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine enchilada sauce and remaining 1/2 cup bbq sauce.
Spread a small amount of sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.

To make rolled enchiladas:
Set up a little assembly line: corn tortillas, chicken mixture, cheese.
Place a small amount of chicken mixture on each tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, roll, and place in baking dish.
Repeat until all chicken is used.
Pour remaining sauce oven enchiladas and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

To make enchilada bake:
Put a layer of tortillas in the bottom of the dish.
Add layer of chicken, layer of sauce, and layer of cheese.
Repeat until all chicken is used, ending with tortillas, sauce and cheese.

Bake, covered, at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.  Remove foil for 15 minutes until cheese is melty and bubbly.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving with your favorite toppings.

Lemon Garlic Baked Salmon

Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season, and ate all the cookies.  I'm not big on New Year's resolutions, but all the treats I've been eating for the past month have been making me feel a little sluggish.  When I saw a one day "cleanse" I thought I'd give it a try.  Loosely, it called for drinking hot lemon water first thing in the morning, a Glowing Green Smoothie for breakfast, Ginger Lemon Cayenne Detox tea and vegetables for lunch and dinner. My day went like this: First thing after my run: Hot Lemon water - This is a nice way to warm up.  I do this all the time. Breakfast: Glowing Green Smoothie - I liked it a lot.  Very refreshing and hydrating.  Wished I hadn't baked donuts the night before as they were staring me down on the kitchen counter. Lunch: Spicy Mulligatawny Soup - I'm pretty sure that's not what they meant by "salad," but I went with it. Snack: Ginger Lemon Cayenne Detox tea - Zingy and invigorat...

Roasted Sweet Potato Salad

A few weeks ago we went into Boston for the day. After chasing little people up, down, and around the Children's Museum, watching Colin climb up three stories on a jungle gym and James' excitement at a room filled with golf balls, we went to Flour Bakery for lunch.  I had the Roasted Sweet Potato sandwich, and it was amazing. I just checked the menu , and it looks like they don't offer it right now, but lucky for you I made a salad that's just as good.  The original sandwich was roasted sweet potato, apple, walnut pesto, blue cheese and kale on wheat bread.  I took some liberties, changed up some ingredients, and made it into a salad.

My big sister and the egg sandwich that might cure her cancer

I usually like to keep things light hearted here At Home With Ann.  Simple recipes, awkward jokes, toddler antics and kitchen fiascos.  But we all experience times in life when we are thrown for a loop and face something that stops us in our tracks.  I, like a classic control freak, tend to keep things to myself.   Everything is under control, see? My house is clean, dinner is cooked, the dishes are done, I'm on schedule, I blow dried my hair, I don't need help.  See?  See?   But this time it's not about me, it's not something I can control, and wishing it away won't actually make it go away. Me, my Mom and Sarah last Summer Three years ago my sister, Sarah, was diagnosed with a form of leukemia called AML (acute myeloid leukemia).  My reaction was typical.  This happens to other people.  Not my 33 year old sister who lives by the ocean, gets tons of fresh air and exercise, and eats healthier than anyone who has ever entered Whole...
