As most of you know I don't really enjoy cooking … BUT I love to cut out recipes and I have my own little recipe binder full of recipes from magazines that I want to try one day. It is fun for me, but I still don't consider myself someone who likes to cook. Weird, I know!
Here are some new things I have done recently or plan on doing soon!
My friend Mandy sent me this one and I made it last week:
2 tsp olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1 lb zucchini, diced (about 3 cups)
2 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 can diced tomatos w/ chiles
1 can black beans, rinsed
1 can corn niblets, drained
1 can mild enchilada sauce
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
5 (8 inch) whole wheat flour tortillas
1 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheeseHeat oven to 400. Coat a 3 qt round baking dish with non-stick spray.
Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute 5 minutes. Add zucchini & cumin and saute 5 minutes or til zucchini is crisp-tender. Stir in tomatos, beans, corn & enchilada sauce – bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro.
Put 1 tortilla in bottom of dish. Top with 1 1/2 cups mixture, sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese. Repeat layers 4 times.
Cover with foil & bake 20-25 minutes until bubbly around edges and cheese is melted. Cool 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve (with sour cream, if desired)
We didn't have zucchini and so we used red bell peppers … we didn't have enchilada sauce and so we kinda made our own with some non-meat meat crumbles, chili sauce and veggie broth.
Not sure if you guys are eating seafood at all but if you are (or just do it without), I made an awesome meal the other night…
Diced tomatoes
chopped garlic
white wine
grapeseed oil
fresh spinach
fresh asparagus
fresh mushrooms
boiled shrimp (boiled in shrimp spice)
penne pasta.
YUM YUM YUM!! Everyone but Landen loved it…but Landen didn’t even TRY it…so he might have loved it.
tam – we do eat seafood, but we never buy shrimp at home … you could probably add any kind of fish to this!
sounds YUMMY!
thanks.
I cooked this tonight for the second time and we LOVE it.

Jamie,
I meant to tell you about that Firehouse 2 diet. I heard the guy that started it being interviewed on the radio. I think I might buy his book, sounded neat.
