Flavor the Moments

These recipes are the WHOLE enchilada. ❤️

Hi Reader,

Cinco de Mayo is coming soon, which means I have another excuse to eat more Mexican food!

While I love tacos as much as the next person, I prefer to make enchiladas because I can assemble them completely in advance. Making dinner ahead is how I roll. :)

My green enchilada sauce is my personal favorite because of its fresh, vibrant flavor. It's super simple and perfect for green enchiladas and this enchilada bake.

I do crave my red enchilada sauce often as well, which comes together in about 10 minutes! It takes my chicken enchiladas and black bean sweet potato enchiladas to the next level.

Serve them all with a side of cilantro lime rice or Mexican rice, black beans and Mexican sweet corn cake for the whole enchilada. :)

What's your all time favorite Mexican dish? Hit reply and let me know!

Happy cooking!
Marcie

Hi Reader, I spent two amazing weeks in Italy in April, which you may have seen if you follow me on Instagram. I shared details of my trip, ALL the food, etc. in my stories, so if you missed it, be sure to check it out in my highlight reel. I ate so much amazing food, but the simple things like meatballs in red sauce, baked fish in quality olive oil and fried anchovies were my favorite (I normally don't even eat anchovies!). And for dessert, the crostata won over tiramisu! My goal in life is...

Mother's Day Brunch Berry Overnight French Toast Casserole I love going out to brunch, but I never go out to brunch on Mother's Day because all of the restaurants are so busy. I typically host a nice brunch complete with recipes that can be made in advance so that I can enjoy my day too. My berry overnight french toast casserole and overnight blueberry baked oatmeal are sweet and satisfying, and so much easier than flipping pancakes or making waffles for an army. And bacon and eggs never got...
