Did you see my post about making this incredible 5 ingredient cheese sauce? I use it on all sorts of items from bread to broccoli. But, one of my favorite ways to use it is on enchiladas! Our household loves enchiladas so I’m always loving coming up with new ways to create them. I think I just may have found the best way to make enchiladas: enchiladas with cheese sauce! Whenever I go to a Mexican restaurant (which I LOVE to do!), I am always drawn to the menu item that lists “smothered in cheese sauce.” It’s something I never thought to do at home, and it’s indulgent! I’ve always wondered how they do it, and finally figured out how...

The recipe for the marzipan atole is simple. It has peanut Mexican mazapán, maicena or cornstarch, and milk. First, mash the peanut marzipan using a fork. Add this to the blender...
Tweet My slow cooker can be my best friend when it comes to making my dinners efficiently. My slow cooker can make a myriad of recipes that my family will enjoy. It is wonderful to know that I can throw all of my ingredients in the slow cooker when I leave for work in the morning, and when I return the meal is hot and ready to serve.

So, on one night I can prepare a beef dish and another I can prepare a chicken dish. I can provide a variety of...
