Thanks to Mezzetta for sponsoring this post. Traditions….they’re wonderful aren’t they? Now that I have kids of my own I’ve tried to create some of my family’s own holiday traditions. Of course food plays a big role in that. There are so many wonderful memories associated with food. I love to think back at my childhood…
Vegetarian Quesadillas with Jalapenos
Packed with melted cheese, veggies and spicy jalapenos, you won’t miss the meat in these vegetarian quesadillas. I hope you’re hungry for quesadillas, because I can’t get enough of these! It’s meals like this where I could easily be a vegetarian. Quesadillas are one of my many favorite Mexican meals, but I’ll never let any…
Blog Update and Roasted Vegetable Enchiladas
I am so excited for this week because I am having a little remodeling done to Nutritious Eats. It won’t be anything drastic; just a little updated and more user friendly, both for you and me. Due to the edits the site will be down Tuesday and Wednesday so don’t worry if you come by…
Easy Chicken Enchiladas for Two & Meal Planning
I made these enchiladas in 10 minutes the other day….and then they baked while I cleaned up.

Now that I’ve made these, my admiration for the corn fellas…
Black Bean, Corn & Poblano Tacos
I don’t think a recipe like this would have appealed to me as much if I wasn’t eating vegan for the month, but I made it a couple weeks ago and it will definitely stick around in my meal rotation. This can be vegan or vegetarian depending on whether you want the cheese and sour…
A Taste of Tex-Mex: Chicken Fajitas
I have to admit something….since growing up in Texas and having access to a plethora of fabulous Mexican restaurants, I almost always ate my chicken fajitas out at a restaurant and if we did make them from home they were the pre-marinated kind from HEB. I rarely, if ever, made them myself. I know, it’s…
Meal Planning Monday and Crock Pot Pinto Beans!
Hi folks. I had a busy, but fun, week in the kitchen while my parents were here. I am going to keep meal planning simple this week and utilize some of the wonderful fresh herbs we have growing in the garden. We’ve had a morning shower about every other day since we planted so I…
