How to Make Old Fashioned Enchiladas Recipe | Easy & Delicious

Main Course, Recipes ·

Learn how to make this easy and delicious New Mexican version. Get the family recipe for old-fashioned enchiladas!

Old Fashioned Enchiladas

This recipe is another family favorite recipe that was passed down to me from my husband’s Grandma Jolley. I’ve shared a handful of her recipes here and this one is probably her most loved and always served along with her Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie Recipe.

This enchilada recipe is not your traditional enchilada recipe. I’m not sure where Grandma Jolley got this recipe or if she just made it up but she lived in New Mexico her entire life and this must be some variation of a New Mexican Enchilada. I don’t know where the Old Fashioned Enchilada name came from but this is what Granda Jolley called it.

For this recipe, you first make the meat sauce and then you layer that onto corn or flour tortillas, and

This Black and Yellow Bee-Themed Fall Tablescape is perfect as we transition from summer to fall decor or bee-themed party decor.

Black and Yellow Bee-Themed Fall Tablescape

I’m sharing my transition from summer into fall tablescape today. This Black and Yellow Bee Themed Fall Tablescape was so much fun to create! I love the color scheme and all the little details that make it so charming.

Every July I set a bee or beehive-themed table to celebrate Utah’s Pioneer Day holiday. Utah is the Beehive State and every year on the 24th of July they celebrate the Pioneers that crossed the plains and settled in Utah. I was out of town for this year’s holiday, but I had all this adorable bee-themed table decor so I decided to set the table and

Picnic Potato Salad Recipe

One of my favorite recipes to make for a picnic is my homemade potato salad. I love going on picnics, especially when we are in Montana spending time at our cabin. We were there a few weeks ago and my picnic plans kept getting derailed with all the thunderstorms we had there at the time so I decided I was tired waiting for the rain to stop and we had the picnic on the front porch of the cabin.

I made my homemade potato salad recipe, a strawberry pudding cake, fried chicken, corn, corn on the cob and cut up some fresh watermelon. Everything was perfect and even though it wasn’t the picnic I had planned, the view from our cabin’s porch is nothing to complain about!

This easy picnic potato salad is easy to make and you can adjust the ingredients to your liking. It’s one of the recipes where you can do that. I like a small amount

Stuffed Chicken Kiev
The Marriage of Ruth’s Chris Stuffed Chicken and Chicken Kiev Recipes

Behind every one of my recipes, there is a little story and I always tell the story if there is one to tell. About 20+ years ago, I went to dinner for the first time at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, and instead of ordering a steak, I ordered the stuffed chicken. It was so good and I was determined to figure out how to make it. I asked the waiter a few questions and if he could tell me the ingredients and he said it had cream cheese, butter, and herbs in the filling. I’m excited to share this yummy chicken Kiev recipe below.

Not long after that, I left for a trip to England to coach a boys soccer team and one night, my husband and I were able to take a break from all the kids and go on a date. We had been told that the pub up the street from Queen Victoria’s Royal Holloway where we were staying
