- Work, work through lunch, blah.
- 4 mile walk after work with Stacy
- Home to cook 5 recipes - it only took me 1.5 hours in total (including cooking all and cleaning) because I had slowcooked 2 pounds beef in taco seasoning; and slowcooked 3 pounds chicken in salt, pepper and chicken stock. Having all of the meat done already was SWEET.
- After dinner I just got in bed, watched a little bit of Spy Kids (love that cute little movie!), and called it a night!
One of the recipes I made was my Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas. I switched it up, mixing Cabot 75% reduced fat cheese in with fat-free cheese, shredding the chicken, removing some oil, and topping with fresh cilantro.... Check out the difference:

The new one even has less calories, fewer carbs, less fat grams and MORE protein!
NEW Nutritional Information: 437 calories, 47 carbs, 8 fat grams and 40 protein grams.
OLD Nutritional Information: 461 calories, 51 carbs, 9 fat grams and 39 protein grams.

Not entirely significant, but still worth it to me. I basically removed the oil and instead softened the tortillas with the towel-in-microwave way. Then, to make it look more appealing and to add flavor, I mixed fat-free cheese with Cabot 75% reduced fat, which made it melt better, taste better and again, it bettered the nutritional values - WOO!
Q: Do you ever give older recipes a makeover? I'm going to go back and do this for several of my 475 - 500 calorie meals. I'll make sure to leave up the old ones though (if I think the calories are worth it!). :)
Q: I'm in the market for a label maker. I just want one that prints a few different fonts/font sizes on clear ribbon. Do you have a label maker you can recommend?

Wow! You were a cooking queen :) Glad things came together well. The new recipes definitely looks yummy. I love trying to re-do recipes to up their nutritional content. I do this with baked goods a lot!
I do try to look back at old recipes and make them healthier when I can. It can be kind of fun re-inventing them.
This looks delicious! I just love your recipes!
You are amazing!!! I really have to cook like this!! I always revamp old recipes. Have a great day!!
I absolutely love Cabot 75% reduced fat cheese - let me see if I can find my contact there - they have done two giveaways on my blog - all I had to do was ask! :D
And when you find a label maker you love, let me know - pretty sure my neat freak daughter would love it!
I want to come eat at your house!!!!
That looks terrific!
Oh Kelly how you are a cooking inspiration! I would like to join Lindsey and come over to eat!
I love Cabot but I can't justify paying $4.49 for that tiny block of cheese. It was like $2.50 cheaper in NY. What the hell?!?
They look prettier the new way too!
The new enchiladas look better too! Yeah! I don't repeat recipes too often but when I do, sometimes I change things up. Usually when I make a new recipe, I make notes afterward on what I liked/didn't like and what to change for next time.
I have a label maker by Brother that I like. I bought it on Amazon.
I've been meaning to go back in my old recipes and test them again!! I think it's a great idea as bloggers become better cooks. The more you learn, the better your recipes are, so why not apply that new knowledge to old posts too, right?
You´re a walking cook book. Maybe you should publish one!
I love to play around with spices, or adding some cheese (low fat of course!) or adding a little bit of peanutbutter etc.
Sour Cream Chicken Enchilada sounds yummy! I am going to make these.
Yummy! I revamp recipes on occassion but not nearly enough!
