Canned Enchiladas

I don't know about you but I really like good, easy recipes! 

I got a recipe for Enchiladas from a friend at work, probably about a year ago. Last night I finally got around to actually making them and it was so quick and easy! I made them from start to finish (including cook time and a trip to the store) in about an hour. I'm telling you, this on is a keeper!

I refer to these as "Canned Enchiladas" because it's just a bunch of can's that you mix together. 
(I modified the recipe for my mild taste-buds, which I will include in parentheses)


Canned Enchiladas

Mix together:
- 1 large can green enchilada sauce (1 small can)
- 2 cans cream of chicken soup (1 can cream of chicken & 1 can cream of mushroom)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 small can green chilies
- Shredded Chicken 
- Olives
(Chicken and olives were said to go in separate, but I decided to mix it in to make it quicker and easier)

Spread mixture in pan, just enough to cover the bottom. Put mixture and cheese (and chicken and olives if you'd rather do them separate) in tortillas. Spread remainder of mixture over top of tortillas in pan. Sprinkle cheese and olives over everything.

Bake at 350 for 30min


So easy. So good.

Sorry there's no picture, I was too excited to eat them. 
Also, I lost my camera in Rexburg (Please find it!)
Come to think of it, there probably won't be many pictures on my blog for quite some time.

Anyway, try these enchiladas. 
You won't regret it.

Today

Today I went to work.

Our first patient was scheduled for a two hour appointment and they decided not to show up. Hygeine wasn't scheduled until 10:00 so we decided to take advantage of the down time.

We went to Angie's for breakfast and Dr Gordon paid for all of us!

After work, Brittany and I went shopping for a white cardigan. It sounds like a simple enough task, but for some reason the fashion industry has decided that white cardigans are not necessary. 

Instead, I stripped a mannequin of its apparel and ended up getting a shirt for $7.50
Now I just need the white cardigan to go with it....

Now, Brittany and I plan on taking a walk.
Maybe later tonight Katelyn and I will go hot tubbing. 

Looking forward to the weekend when I can lay out by the pool and start a new book.

You know those people who blog and you wish you had their life? 
Am I one of them today?

Rexburg x 3 = 3 x the Pictures!

I have spent the past three weekends in Rexburg. It was so much fun! Be prepared for a lot of pictures!

Week 1:  Dedicated to the best bishopric ever, and the 12th ward reunion!


These men are so great!


Their ward was having their last closing social, so Katelyn and I organized all the past 12th ward members to meet outside the building and come in at the very end for our final farewell. I wasn't able to get work off, so I was late and didn't get to see everyone who came, but I was so glad to get to say good-bye one last time.


This is one of my favorite pictures with them because it is so characteristic of them. I have no clue what we were doing, but it was definitely fun!


Their wives have been just as involved as they have!


Brother Kerbs:  "Maybe Bishop and I should hold hands..."
Bishop instinctively goes to hold his hand, and we all lose it.
Another classic moment  :)


I have so many good memories with these guys! 



Hey family, does anyone recognize the guy in the sweater?
Hint: He's from Merced....



They taught Katelyn and me how to drive a tractor and then let us pull the entire ward to our ward activity.


They made a special effort to get the ingredients to teach me how to make a toilet bomb for the first time.


And another Toilet bomb occasion, which people slowly accumulated to.


They were always willing to help out with school projects....


Or just hang out at our apartment and tell us stories about when they were growing up, dragging Main, and throwing eggs at police cars.


And they are responsible for some incredible friendships


These guys was pretty darn cool  :)


After the reunion, a few of us went to Wingers for dinner. This was such a fun Rexburg trip!

Week 2:  Dedicated to General Conference!


This is President Thomas S Monson opening General Conference. 

I can't wait for the Conference Ensign to come out so I can read them again! As always, we also had an incredible conference brunch. That is definitely one of my favorite traditions.


It was so good to spend time with my family.



We took a walk through campus



This is the building where I spent a lot of my time.



Courtney made a new friend


Mykel discovered the magic of Once Upon a Time  :)


We all accidentally matched!


Courtney decided to document "Classic Rexburg"


We made some new friends at the Skate Park. 
To see how cool they are, go to my photography blog.

Week 3:  Dedicated to the baby blessing of my newest niece, Maren Mckinley!

Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my nice camera, and my point and shoot was lost. However, let it be known that it was also an amazing weekend and I was not ready to go home.

Life is back to normal. 

My computer officially died, so I finally got it fixed. 
Now I'm back to battling out spotty internet.

Life is good.
