Determined



Not the best quality because it's night and my batteries are running low, but it sure is cute.

Brady, almost 7 months


Chicken, Spinach, and Cheese Enchiladas


Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless Chicken Thighs or breasts (about 4 thighs or 2 breasts)
  • 16 ounces Beer
  • 2 cups Water
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • Jalapeno Pepper, minced
  • 3 cups Baby Spinach, chopped
  • 10 burrito-size Flour Tortillas (9 inches)
  • 2 cups shredded taco cheese
  • Queso dip
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil, or cooking spray
  • Salsa, for serving

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 450*F.
  2. Put the chicken thighs (I want to use chicken breast next time) in a deep sided saute pan and cover with the beer and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the chicken from the liquid and shred it. Mix together the chicken and seasonings. (I added queso dip to my chicken and it was delish).
  3. Pour out all but 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Add the jalapeno and spinach and cook over low heat until for 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.
  4. Fill the tortillas with chicken, spinach and cheese. (I also sprinkled cheese over the enchiladas and the rest of the liquid that's left with the spinach). 
  5. Brush the enchiladas with olive oil or spray with cooking spray. Bake for 10 minutes or until crispy. Serve with salsa.

Brady loves yogurt

No, he is not holding the spoon on his own. I am holding it. I think he would eat the entire spoon if it was up to him.

Swimming Video

Okay. Here is a video that details the awkwardness of teaching a 6 month old how to swim...and with too many people in the pool.


Spring Break week (for me)

Today is day 3 of my spring break and we are continuing to have fun. Brady and I walked around outside.

He and Sushi had fun in the living room...





We went to Wildwood...


And continued our swim lessons...(sorry these are blurry. There was so much movement.)

Smiles


Brady has had a fever for 2 days. This is the first time he's wanted to play.
...and the first time he isn't attached to me like glue.
