I make this recipe a lot when I am home for lunch. It is light, quick, and very easy to make.
Ingredients:
Any kind of pasta you like (I use whole wheat heart healthy penne pasta)
Store bought pesto
Classico light classic alfredo sauce
Directions:
Cook pasta according to the directions. In another pot pour about 1/4 cup of the alfredo sauce and a heaping tablespoon of pesto heat until it is thoroughly mixed. Mix in a bowl and enjoy!! That's it, you can add some cheese to the pasta while it is still hot but I skip that part to make it a little healthier.
No picture for this one either! But it is delicious!!

Easy Chicken Enchiladas
Wow, it has been a long time since I have posted something! But now I am back with two easy recipes!! The first one is chicken enchiladas that are so easy and not too expensive. Here you go:
Ingredients:
1 package of chicken (I bought tenderloins because they cook faster)
1 8 oz package of sour cream
1 package of tortillas (corn or flour, your choice)
2 cans of enchilada sauce (I used old el paso and the hot version but it is super spicy)
Cheese (your choice of what kind, I used fiesta blend)
Directions:
Bring a pot of water up to a boil and place chicken in water. Boil the chicken until it is cooked all the way through, depending on how thick and what kinda of chicken you bought determines how long you will cook it. Chicken tenderloins boiled for about 5 minutes until they were done. When the chicken is done take it out of the water and place on a plate until it is cool enough to handle. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In another pot place both cans of enchilada sauce and about 6 oz of sour cream and cook until the sour cream is melted evenly into the sauce. Go back to the chicken and shred it using two forks or your hands. I used a glass dish to make mine, prepare the dish by spraying the bottom with nonstick cooking spray. Pour enough of the sauce on the bottom of the dish to completely cover it. Start assembling the enchiladas, putting whatever you like inside. I used chicken and cheese, so very simple but you could also put onions and peppers inside of them. As you finish them put them seam side down in the dish. Once the dish is full pour the rest of the enchilada sauce on top and cover with cheese. Put in the oven and cook for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. When they were done I sliced some avocado and put that on top of my enchiladas, since I am the only one that likes avocado.
I don't have any pictures to post, but enjoy!! Warning it is a little spicy if you use the hot enchilada sauce!
