Cheese Enchiladas Verde

So we have decided to stop eating meat at night for the most part. Only because we generally eat really late and it's not very good for the body to try and digest meat when you are sleeping. Does this mean we are NEVER eating meat at night? No, of course not. Occasionally we will and in all reality we will still eat it on the weekends as we USUALLY eat earlier in the day and I have time to prepare. During the week it's sometimes like running around like a chicken with my head cut off. Yes I do prepare, no it's not always the greatest preparation, and sometimes I am just exhausted and meat takes much longer to prepare anyways so ha!

With all of that being said here is the recipe we tried last night. For the most part we really liked it. Sam and I did. The girls somewhat picked at the salsa, I don't know why they usually like it. Maybe because Jadyn wasn't feeling well and was being grouchy and Jakayla was... I dunno being a weirdy LOL!

Beer Cheese Dip

Another dip recipe that is sooooo easy and sooooo yummy. I am all about easy and yummy when it comes to entertaining.

Ingredients:

16 oz of cream cheese
16 oz of shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 t garlic powder
1/2 c beer

Directions:
1. Put cheeses in a sauce pan and heat over med/low heat until melted
2. pour cheese mixture, beer and garlic powder in a large bowl and blend with an electric mixer until smooth. (you can also skip step one and just mix every thing in a large bowl with a mixer until smooth, doesn't get much easier than that.)

You can garnish with green onions and shredded cheese. Its great served inside of a bread bowl, with pretzels or even fresh veggies!
