I should have known better to post a mention of Chicken Enchiladas without posting the recipe! They're in my cookbook, Amy's Table: Food for Family and Friends. Per your request, here it is! Try the Churros, too!

Chicken and Black Bean Enchilada Recipe

Enjoy!

As I was putting together Chicken Enchiladas for dinner tonight I was once again thankful for the packages of frozen shredded chicken I’ve got tucked away in my freezer. I thought the concept of prep was a good one to share with you again. Here’s a video that explains it all.

Best, Amy

If I had a nickel for every time a student requested the Apple Bacon Broccoli Salad from the old deli at The Party Source, I’d be one rich woman! Instead, Jon Stiles, GM of The Party Source, has graciously agreed to share it- for free!

Enjoy!

Wine of the Week

Almira los dos "old vine" Grenache (Spain): Isle 9A $6.99

Old vine Grenache has ripe fruit and is full of zesty spices. An avid Zinfandel or Shiraz drinker would easily find this wine very pleasant. The fruit bursts out the bottle into the glass filling the room and the palate with raspberry jam. Almira has a spicy white pepper finish with soft tannins and is as much fun on the palate as it is on the wallet.
Food: cured Spanish meats, bbq ribs, steak and burgers on the grill.

The Pain Perdu recipe that I posted yesterday made me think about one of my favorite weekend breakfasts- pancakes! Pancakes from scratch are one of the first things I learned to make as a kid. If you haven’t taught your kids how to make them, why not make today the day to pass along this delicious bit of knowledge? I always use buttermilk. To me, there’s no equal to the fluffy tenderness it gives pancakes. You can add all kinds of things to them- chocolate chips, pecan pieces, raisins and of course, blueberries. To avoid clumps of blueberries, don’t add them to the batter, wait until you’ve poured the pancakes and then hand place them. Use fresh blueberries unless you want purple pancakes!

For a multigrain variation, try my sister Julia’s version. She uses half whole wheat flour and sweetens it with a bit of orange juice.

Enjoy!
