Enchiladas with Lemon Cream Sauce

A little bite of heaven if there ever was :). These are a take on my favorite enchiladas from Basico, a fun little Mexican joint down the road from work. Theirs have pickled onions on top, which I haven't figured out how to do yet, but I think I got the sauce pretty close!

Lemon Cream Sauce
1 small carton of heavy cream
Zest from two small lemons
1/2 cup cheddar or Parmesan cheese
Salt to taste

Enchiladas
Corn tortillas
Cheddar cheese
Queso fresco cheese
Sauteed veggies (I used carrot, zucchini, and greens)
Smashed black beans

Assemble enchiladas and top with sauce and additional cheese. Bake until bubbling (about 25 minutes) at 400 degrees. I topped mine with diced radish for a little extra crunch!

Beet Salad

Got some lovely beets in our CSA bag so I roasted them at 425 for about 45 minutes (tossed in some olive oil and salt), the added them to a store bought salad with goat cheese. Yum!

Eggs and Salsa

Love me some farm fresh eggs, mixed with heavy cream/salt/pepper and topped with cheddar and salsa!

CSA Flowers

It's flower time and I'm in love!

Salt Pig

I've been searching high and low for a proper salt pig, and couldn't find one I liked for under $40 (which seems ridiculous, I mean it's a salt holder!). I did find these cute little bamboo boxes though, and the lid swivels open and has magnets to snap it shut. You can operate it with one hand, which I like. No more shaking out salt, now I just grab a pinch and go!

Creamy Salad Dressing

My lovely husband decided to whip up some homemade salad dressings, which I'm totally digging. Here's our favorite so far:

Creamy Italian Dressing
Blend 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons each sour cream and olive oil, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 garlic clove and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a blender. Stir in 1 tablespoon chopped parsley.

Breakup Basket

My little sister just broke things off with her long-term boyfriend and when I came over to help her unpack at her new place I brought along a 'breakup basket' full of comforts that I relied on in my younger years. The only thing missing was a copy of 'Someone Like You' with Ashley Judd, but I'm bringing that next time!
