I am so so so sad to see this wonderful winter break end, it pretty much marks the end of my "full college breaks" all other break will now be shortened and filled with working, studying, taking classes, taking tests, and applying for grad schools. Although I am sad to grow up it is kind of exciting!! And I am so thankful for all of the opportunities I am blessed to be a part of and experience and can not wait to see what path The Lord has for me in the next few years and what they will hold and how they will shape my life and me as a person.:) That was deep for a monday night but here's to another semester! May it be the best one yet!
What better to start off the semester than a healthy meal plan (literally planning out the week of meals to make and what left overs can be used.). I have decided being prepared is the only way to really stick to eating healthy and getting a balanced diet. So tonight I made Cabbage Chicken Enchiladas with rotisserie chicken from Fred Myers I will have left over for stir fry later in the week;) Not to mention this meal fed my hungry boyfriend and I and will be my lunch tomorrow at school!
#1 Cabbage Enchiladas:
1 rotisserie chicken (only used about 1/3 of it maybe half)
3/4c Nonfat sour cream
1 can diced mild green chilies
3/4c chicken broth or stock
1 head of organic cabbage
Fresh cilantro
Cheese for the top!
Boil the chicken broth in one pot and fill and boil a second pot with water. Once broth boils add the sour cream and chilies and a little pepper, turn on low and leave stirring occasionally. Once the water boils turn down a bit and add cabbage leaves (it is tricky to peel them off the head in one full leaf but you can definitely work with broken ones) to soften and make pliable to stuff and roll! I let them set in a strainer for about 30 seconds to cool and drip. Put a little of the sauce in a 9x9 pan, preheat oven to 350. Peel off some rotisserie chicken and cilantro leaves to stuff a cabbage leaf, roll, and set in pan and repeat (I made about 7 enchiladas). Add the rest f the sauce to the pan, sprinkle with cheese and pop in oven for about 20 minutes! So yummy! And better with some avocado or salsa:)
#2 and 3 What better way to start a new semester than an organized and functional house?! Here is a cheap way to organize hats in little space for $1.49 from Shopko...
#4 Scarves on an over the door towel rack (the towels I roll up and have in a cubby and the one I use is on a cute owl hook!)...
#5 and hair accessories, all with stuff I had around the house! And who knew the built in towel wall hanger would work so well to see all my headbands?!
Maybe this will spark some ideas/inspiration:) Good luck to everyone starting school, may The Lord watch over you and guide us all along our paths yet to be discovered xoxo.
