The PW's Chicken Enchilada...yummy!

Whew, this resolution to blog everyday during the month of January is wearing me out....but, here's another one.

Who loves the Pioneer Woman as much as I do?  I like everything she does.  She cooks, she has her own TV show, she has a line of dishes and cookware at Wal-Mart, she writes her own cookbooks, she home schools her kids, she's a great photographer, she is a rancher's wife, she blogs, she loves critters especially her basset hound Charlie, she has red hair, etc., etc., etc.

In short, let's just say I'd like to be just like Pioneer Woman.

If you've never tried any of her recipes, you're missing out.

While in Idaho I made my dad a batch of her chicken enchiladas.
 
 
I started by frying up some chicken breasts rubbed with some yummy spices.  When they were done I fried up some onions in the same skillet until they were caramelized.

 
I lightly browned some corn tortillas and then...

 
...rolled them up with cheese, chicken, and onions.

 
Threw then in a casserole dish, smothered them with green chili sauce and more cheese, then baked.
 
I'm sure they were yummy, but unfortunately we didn't get to taste them because they got divided up into individual servings and put into the freezer for my dad.
 
I need to make them for Irv and I...soon.
 
I didn't have my recipe book with me in Idaho, but I found the recipe on the Food Network site.  http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/chicken-enchiladas.html
 
Try it out--you'll be in chicken enchilada heaven!

Skywatch Friday: A little close for comfort

Image
We had a fire out here on the eastern plains of Colorado last week.  I kept getting reports on the fire's location on my cell phone while I was at work.  Then a warning popped up that let me know it was time to hit the road and go home to prepare to evacuate the critters. When we initially got home it was still a decent distance away. Within 30 minutes it had come up over the ridge and flames were visible. The winds were gusting 45 to 50 mph.  It was a fast moving fire that burned 5,000 acres in only four hours.  Then the most amazing thing happened--the winds died down and the firefighters got in under control by 8:15 that night.  Thank you, Lord! Have you ever had to stand in your house and wonder what you should take out with you?  There were only two things I could think of...1) my critters and 2) my passport so I could still go to Europe next month.  Irv and I agreed that we need to get things organized so we can just grab a box...

Skywatch Friday: Upper and Lower Falls

Image
Yesterday I got to visit the recently completed Uncle Tom's Overlook along the Yellowstone River in Yellowstone National Park. This is the first really good look I've ever had at the Upper Falls of the Yellowstone River. These falls are almost as good as the Lower Falls. After leaving the Upper Falls you go downstream for a mile or so to.... ...Artist's Point which has the very best view of the Lower Falls (in my opinion).  In this location the view is perfect, so perfect that it look like a painting. This is just one of the features of this Park that make it my heart and soul.   Linking with Skywatch Friday

Skywatch Friday: Wild Horses!

Image
 The Salt River wild horses have been eluding us since we arrived in Arizona several weeks ago so today we went in search of them again. This time we started at the Coon Bluff Recreation Area.  First we went one way down the river, but soon had to turn back because we didn't bring any rock climbing gear. Then we turned around and went the other direction. The water in the river was crystal clear, but no sign of fish or horses. There are times when I really miss my dad especially when I want to know what kind of tree I'm looking at.  This one has something that resembles Spanish moss hanging down.  What is it? This riparian area that surrounds the river has all kinds of wildlife.  Today we saw theses white egrets. This gray heron was also hanging out in the distance. We met a guy carrying all kinds of photographic equipment and he said we needed to go about a quarter of a mile further down the river to find a spot where the horses cross every afternoon around 5:0...
