Hi everyone! Late again! I do have lots on the plate - I just got married and have been working non-stop coaching the girls for an upcoming competition next weekend, and just in general, shooting and taking care of the pooch!

Because of my persistence, rather than my punctuality, here is what's for dinner this "week".

Chicken Enchiladas with rice & beans

Chopping up some green onions.

Searing the chicken breasts, not cooking all the way because the rest of the time will be in the oven.

Cut up the chicken breasts that was just seared.

Spanish rice beginning to brew.

Mix green onions with ricotta cheese to go in the tortillas with the chicken.

Afterwards, add salsa, chopped tomatoes, and shredded cheese on top.

Wrap in aluminum foil and bake at 450°F for 15 minutes.

Final result!

With some Spanish rice and refried beans.

Easy dinner! Takes less than 40 minutes to prepare and make! And yummy too!

Until next time, stay warm or stay cool - wherever you all are.

Hey gang! It is officially Fall! My most favorite time of the year here in nyc, I love all the different spices it brings for festive cooking during this season! I've been cooking since I was a kid, and learned well from my mother, and have been digging it more and more ever since! I'm starting a new tradition, now that we (we - as in a French fiancé and a purebred German shepherd, Maq) have moved into our new place, I have been cooking almost everyday! Ok.. not everyday, but six nights a week - it's Suz's home cooking extravaganza! The kitchen has lots of light, and most joyously, for a gal on the island of Manhattan: plenty of space! I've completely gone into my Martha Stewart-phase; and shamelessly loving it!

So what's the new tradition? A post onto my blog: once a week on Friday nights. Tonight we have a roasted chicken with pear, pistachio and cranberry stuffing, with side dishes of mashed potatoes and haricot verts. I know, I should be out experimenting the big bad world of Manhattan, but been there-done that and baby, it's cold outside (soon enough) + my entire house smells like cinnamon and pumpkin! Can you blame me? Bon Appétit! xx
