Chicken Enchilada Dip

Chicken Enchilada Dip is a fun way to enjoy all the deliciousness of enchiladas in appetizer form made with shredded chicken, enchilada sauce, black beans, corn, taco seasoning and loads of cheese.

Chicken Enchilada Dip is one of those “anytime, anywhere” sort of dips. It’s good on game day or while entertaining friends or because it’s Saturday and your hungry for enchiladas. It is just so gooood and a big hit while entertaining – make it for your friends only if you want to be stuck making this every time you see them there after.

I enjoy eating this with pretzel crisps but any sort of tortilla or cracker will be great. The Snack Factory Pretzel Crisp Buffalo Wing flavor is amazing for an extra kick of flavor with this!

Chicken Enchilada Dip

Chicken Enchilada Dip is really easy to toss together. You do need to cook a chicken breast beforehand which can be something leftover, poached quickly or as I like to do which is cooked in a crockpot until fully cooked and shreds easily. I also like to get the cream cheese really creamy by beating it with a hand mixer, followed by adding the taco seasoning, cheese and enchilada sauce. This helps get a consistent flavor throughout the entire dish to ensure every single bite is tasty as can be!

Ingredients

10 ounces enchilada sauce
15 ounces black beans drained
15 ounces corn drained
1 cooked chicken breast shredded
1 packet taco seasoning
4 ounces cream cheese
2 cups Monterey Jack cheese shredded
cilantro garnish
tortilla chips or pretzels crisps

Instructions

Cook the chicken. You can poach the chicken, use some leftover rotisserie or what I did which is place in the crockpot for a few hours. Shred the chicken breast.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a medium mixing bowl, add cream cheese and taco seasoning. Use a hand mixer to beat until creamy. Add the enchilada sauce and HALF the shredded cheese. Beat again. Stir in the drained corn and beans. Transfer to a casserole dish.
Flatten the top and sprinkle on the other half of shredded cheese.
Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes. The top should start to brown and bubble.
Sprinkle fresh cilantro over top and serve with tortilla chips or pretzel crisps.

Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheese Sandwich is a delicious switch up from a classic grilled cheese sandwich made with pepperoni, Italian bread, pizza sauce and fresh mozzarella.

I am bringing out my inner child a bit with this recipe. Pepperoni pizza and grilled cheese are two items I loved as a kid and foods that my both children eat without complaints! Okay, minimal complaints. The fusion of the two is really fun and completely delicious.

Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheese Sandwich

The perfect grilled cheese starts with a properly heated pan. Make sure your pan is preheated on a medium heat before cooking. For that nice golden brown on the bread, let each side cook until you hear that sizzle stop. Once that sizzling stops, wait just a few seconds and then flip.

Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheese

Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheese is a delicious switch up from a classic grilled cheese sandwich made with pepperoni, Italian bread, pizza sauce and fresh mozzarella.

Place a non-stick pan on the stove top and preheat to a medium heat.
Butter the slices of bread.
Place a slice of bread onto pan butter side down.
Add 6 slices pepperoni, 1 tablespoon pizza sauce, 2 ounces mozzarella cheese, 1 tablespoon pizza sauce, and 6 more slices of pepperoni - in that order.
Place the other slice of bread on top with butter side up.
Cook until the sizzling stops (2-3 minutes) and then flip. Cook another 2-3 minutes.
Serve.

Creamy Avocado Pasta

Creamy Avocado Pasta with fresh avocado, basil, lemon, garlic and Romano cheese with cherry tomatoes and linguine.

I, like many other people, start the New Year with the goal of eating healthier! This Creamy Avocado Pasta helps with that goal. I never participate in those “low carb” or “fat free” or trending diets. Instead, I stick to foods that make me feel good inside and out. This dish is one of those that gives you energy, feeds your body good fats and nutrients and also is wholesome keeping the tummy full.

Creamy Avocado Pasta

Avocados make a really great base for a pasta sauce. Its flavorful, creamy and a really simple ingredient to utilize. I have been getting lucky with my avocado picking lately. I have been grabbing ones that are really firm and letting them sit out a couple days before use. Avoid any soft/ “squishy” avocados because it will be too ripe.

Creamy Avocado Pasta also has a lot of garlic, just the right about of cheese, and juicy cherry tomatoes.

Garlic. Avocado. Pasta. Cheese. What else do you need in life?

Loads of cheddar cheese, some butter, milk, sour cream and crispy bacon are added in and mixed. Sprinkle some of the cheese and bacon on top.

Goat Cheese Jalapeno Poppers

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. The following content is intended for readers who are 21 or older. #Chardonnation,#NotableSummer #CollectiveBias

Goat Cheese Jalapeno Poppers are a classy but simple appetizer for many occasions. Cream cheese and goat cheese fills a fresh jalapeno with crisp, delicious bacon. Today, I am having just a few friends over to the house for a little get together to enjoy some food and taste a bit of wine. I found Notable’s buttery and oaky chardonnay and their fruity and crisp chardonnay at my grocery store that pair beautifully with my jalapeno poppers.

A successful wine tasting party starts with the hostess knowledge of the wine they are serving. Wines vary in style, region and taste. One of the really great things about Notable Wines is the flavor profiles are defined on the front of the label making the wine aisle less confusing. Even if you don’t have a ton of knowledge on wine, you can still have a wonderful wine tasting party because all the information you need is right on the bottle. These wines are accessible, refined and expressive. Just the type of wine I am looking for to make this party amazing!

I am featuring two wines today:

Notable California Chardonnay : Oaky and buttery with flavor notes of butter, oak and vanilla.
Notable Australia Chardonnay : Fruity and crisp with flavor notes of citrus, melon and peach.

That is the basic information you need to share with your guests! Ask for opinions. See if there are any other flavors people are tasting. I also like to give food pairing ideas with the wines. This way, they can purchase the wine and have a great meal in the near future in their own home.

The oaky and buttery chardonnay will pair well with grilled salmon or a light chicken dish. A dish with toasted nuts is a phenomenal pairing. Perhaps a Pistachio Crusted Salmon.

The fruity and crisp chardonnay will pair well with seafood, even sushi. I also enjoy the fruity and crisp chardonnay to sip while relaxing on the deck after a long, hot summer day.

Goat Cheese Jalapeno Poppers

I chose the Goat Cheese Jalapeno Poppers for an appetizer today because it is delicious and light in flavor. Plus, cheese always pairs with wine. Why does wine pair so well with cheeses you ask?

Astringent drinks like wine create a natural balance in your mouth when combined with fatty foods like a cheese. You get a perfectly balanced mouthful! I always try to remember the basic principle that mild cheese pairs well with fruity wine. Goat cheese is considered a mild cheese. My days of waiting tables and cocktail serving supplied me some life knowledge after all.

You have a bit of wine knowledge now and a great recipe for Goat Cheese Jalapeno Poppers, what else do you need to make this wine tasting party a hit?

The finishing touches. Notable Wines have a beautiful label with music notes so I played off the design to inspire my all around feel and look of the party. A simple tablecloth with music notes, calming music playing in the background, gorgeous wine glass tags to add a touch of glam and a really fun guitar cutting board to serve as an appetizer platter is all it took. Invite your guests to dress up. You don’t have to do a suit and tie event but summer dresses for the woman and a button up for the men will help set the tone. Plus, as a mom, I literally never get the opportunity to dress up and have a nice night with friends so I am taking full advantage.

Goat Cheese Jalapeno Poppers

Yields: 8 poppers

4 ounces cream cheese
2 ounces goat cheese
3 tablespoons diced bacon
4 jalapenos
salt
pepper
honey(optional)

Pre heat oven to 375 degrees.
On the stove top, cook your bacon until crispy. (3 slices per 4 jalapenos)
Dice bacon. Set to side.
Slice the jalapenos in half and remove all the seeds.
In a mixing bowl, add cream cheese and goat cheese. Use a hand mixer to blend until creamy.
Add 2 tablespoons of bacon and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well.
Fill each jalapeno with your cheese mixture. (I use a frosting bag and large frosting tip to fill)
Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon chopped bacon on top.
Place in oven for 16-17 minutes.
Serve.
You may drizzle a bit of honey on top before serving for an extra note of flavor. Give it a try!
