Super Easy Cheesy Enchiladas

Tonight was one of those nights when you go to pull the meat out of the fridge and it was pushed back too far so it was frozen.  I am still getting use to the new fridge and it aparently works a little too well sometimes.  So instead of my planned dinner of sausage and penne we has these Super Easy Cheesy Enchiladas.  Makes me happy to have the stockpile I have because everything I needed was on hand and I did not have to run to the grocery store.  We served ours with Saffron Rice and Tortilla Chips on the side.  I topped mine with sour cream and everyone else ate them plain.  You can always top them with whatever you like (black olives, tomatoes, salsa, guacamole, etc). 

Super Easy Cheesy Enchiladas

~  1 large onion diced (optional) $0.40 (bought these right before thanksgiving on a great sale!)
~  2 cans of enchilada sauce (you can make this if you prefer) $1.20 (Picked these up @ Target on   clearance a few months ago and finally am using them!)
~  16 oz shredded cheese  $3.74
~  8 tortillas flour or corn (my kids prefer flour) $1.50
~  Vegetable oil

1. If you are using corn tortillas you will want to dip your tortillas in hot vegetable oil to make sure they are coated and warmed (3 quick dunks using tongs).  If using flour tortillas you can omit this step.
2. Dip tortillas in warmed enchilada sauce (important DO NOT skip this step!) and set on a plate to cool for a minute.
3. Add cheese and onion in the middle of each tortilla, roll, and place seam side down in baking dish. 
4. Do this for all eight and then top with remaining sauce and cheese.
5. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 25 minutes or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly.

This dish is super easy and incredibly affordable.  The cheese will be the main bulk of the cost and you can save even more money by making your own sauce!  Enjoy!

Total Cost:  $6.84 or $1.71 per serving!

Thanksgiving Meal Plan

Thanksgiving is by far my most favorite holiday.  I love to cook, gather with loved ones, and of course eat!  This year will be a little different.  We are very new here so we have not made any friends and we do not have any family here.  But that is alright because we can still enjoy each others company and enjoy a delicious meal.  I will plan to continue with all my traditional Thanksgiving dishes, but on a scaled down level because lets face it the only ones eating will be my husband, daughter, and myself.  My three year old is a grazer so I don't expect him to eat much of anything (as usual).  Below is my meal plan and recipes for everything except the turkey breast and dinner rolls.  Enjoy!

Thanksgiving Meal Plan:

Turkey Breast
Stuffing
Gravy
Green Bean Casserole
Corn Pudding
Sweet Potato Souffle
Loaded Mashed Potato Casserole
Glazed Baby Carrots
Dinner Rolls
Pumpkin Pie

It will be too much food for us I am sure, but who doesn't enjoy Thanksgiving leftovers?!? :)

A day of fun!

Sorry I have not posted any deals.  Tomorrow I will weed through them and see what is available and try to catch up.  Today we had a wonderful family day exploring the area.  Since we have only been here for a month we are still learning about the history and enjoying getting to know the area.  We spent the morning at Missouri Town 1855 which was full of wonderful historical buildings and people in period dress explaining the way of life during that time period.  My son and daughter were able to play music with one of the tavern workers and they had a blast! There was so much to see and do there with so many educational opportunities that I highly recommend it if you are in the area.  Not to mention how affordable it is ($5 for adults and $3 for kids 5-12).  Almost across the street there is an observation area where you can see deer, elk, and bison too!

Jammin' at the Tavern

After that we headed out to find a perfect spot for lunch.  We brought the Hormel party tray I bought from Hen House for $4.99 after coupons and threw in a couple juice boxes and cans of pop, can't beat that!  We found a small park off the side of the road with a playground and lake in the background.  So after we finished eating we were able to play for bit :)

Playtime!

We then drove around for a while just exploring and enjoying being together.  After we had dinner we went out and looked at some Christmas light displays in the Kansas City area before heading home.  So it has been a very busy, but wonderful day.  It's not often we get this time to spend together so I took advantage of it and hope everyone understands why I took the day off.  Hope everyone has had a spectacular Saturday!
