Third Dish of Christmas - Butternut Squash Enchiladas

Third dish down! My co-worker Kristin brought this dish to work one day... I was definitely skeptical. Squash? Enchiladas? Those two words did not go together in my mind. However, these enchiladas are full of flavor and definitely worth trying. The recipe is from a vegetarian website but I think these would also be good with chicken inside the enchilada. The hardest part of the recipe just might be slicing the butternut squash in half!







Good recipe find Kristin! Get the recipe here!

Second Dish of Christmas - Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken

I made this dish for Mitzi and Danny's couples shower this past weekend. It was so yummy and the dish was gone by the end of the night! I thought using fresh pasta really made a difference (my opinion). It also cooks super fast (about 4 minutes).

I used a Giada De Laurentiis recipe from her book Everyday Italian and can also be found here. The only changes I made were adding chicken and parsley and omitting the nutmeg.

It was great seeing everyone! Thanks Shellie and Jon for being such great hosts!

First Dish of Christmas - Cream Biscuits

I have finally had some time in town to do my First Dish of Christmas! I made "Cream Biscuits" that I saw on the delicious Smitten Kitchen website. They turned out really well! Perfect snack on this cold day. I added about half the sugar the recipe called for and rolled the dough out a bit thinner than called for so I could be sure to have enough to bring for the shower decorators to snack on tomorrow! Be sure to check out the pics and the recipe here!
