Tortilla-less Chicken Enchiladas

This is comfort food at its finest, and especially on a cool Fall evening! I had left over Enchilada Sauce and couldn't let it go to waist, so off to Pinterest I went to get some inspiration. First thing that obviously popped up was Chicken Enchiladas, however you know I try to avoid carbs so why not just scrap the tortillas entirely. To add that extra filling I took literally whatever veggies I had in my fridge chopped them up and threw them in. Just thinking about it now and looking at the picture below is making me want to remake this dish. So delicious. So easy to make. Ingredients and Directions, as well for my homemade Enchilada Sauce, are below.

Ingredients:
1. Chicken Breast - 3 Shredded
2. Enchilada Sauce (Ingredients and Directions HERE)
3. Cheese - Shredded
4. Green Onion - 1/2 Chopped
5. White Onion - 1 Chopped
6. Red Pepper - 1/2 Chopped
7. Yellow Pepper - 1/2 Chopped
8. Jalapeno - 1/4 Finely Chopped
9. Garlic - 3 Cloves Pressed
10. Salt and Pepper - To Taste
11. Olive Oil - 1 Tbsp

Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees and bake Chicken Breasts for 20 minutes. Season Chicken with Salt and Pepper to taste.
 2. While Chicken is baking, place Olive Oil in a frying pan to cook White Onion, Red Pepper, Yellow Pepper, Garlic, and Jalapeno. Season with Salt and Pepper to taste and cook until soft, approximately 8-10 minutes.
3. Remove from Chicken from oven, let sit, and then shred.
4. In a baking dish place shredded Chicken at the bottom, layering Onion, Peppers, Garlic, and Jalapeno on top, then spoon Enchilada Sauce over top (ensuring all Chicken and Veggies are covered with sauce), top with shredded Cheese and chopped Green Onion.
5. Put the baking dish in the oven until Enchilada Sauce has warmed and Cheese has melted, approximately 5-10 minutes.
6. Remove from oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Then serve and ENJOY!

Miu Miu - #PFW Spring 2017

"Miuccia Prada was apparently in a playful summer mood when she put together the Miu Miu collection. At a time when there's so much trouble and stress in the world, it's sometimes a treat to take a break from thinking too much. Who, at this juncture, wouldn't want to buy into the sunny retro-fantasy of Italy at its glamorous postwar peak? That's when Prada was a girl, of course. This is a period she knows so well - the optimistic culture of '60s and early '70s prints. All of these looks were accompanied either by beach slides or wedge sandals, which, on close inspection, had shells and starfish embossed into them. Later, they were worn by delightfully sexy '50s pinup girls in ruched bikinis. It was a great deal of fun, gratefully received in this time of chaos." - vogue.com

Mini Review - Elabloom

Now that Fall is finally here, the weather has cooled down and the leaves have started to fall, it's time to bring out those cozy sweaters, leather jackets, boots, Pumpkin Spice Lattes, and dark bold lips. However, along with the cooler temps comes dry/irritated skin, which no one likes but unfortunately has to deal with year over year. I strongly believe I have found two products, both from Elabloom, that will help conquer your fall skin problems. I have been using Elabloom's Spray & Go Body Lotion and Elabloom's Exfoliating Body Scrub together daily for the past 6 weeks and my skin has honestly never felt or looked better, not only is it super hydrated, it is also extremely smooth to the touch. The products can obviously be used alone however for best results I believe used together is the way to go. Both the Elabloom Spray & Go Body Lotion ($16.95) and the Elabloom Exfoliating Body Scrub ($14.95) can be purchased on Elabloom's website, where Elabloom offers free shipping on orders over $20, and $10 flat rate for orders under $20. 

You may be wondering who Elabloom is, well they are a Canadian based company founded in 2011, creating unique face and body products. Heavily inspired by holistic benefits, the use of parabens, phthalates, and petroleum are no where to be seen, however still insuring corners are not cut when trying to save on cost. Ingredients are pulled from Earth's Bloom, meaning the healthiest products for your skin care and the thought of being one with nature, hence the name Elabloom.

Elie Saab - #PFW Spring 2017

"It's about dancing - the disco, the seventies! I lived through those years and remember my parents then. I Think I took a lot from that decade through them," Elie Saab said, as he loosely twined a thick golden ribbon around Mayowa Nicholas's neck backstage. And in this collection he did, indeed, process many of the tropes of that decade - and then Saab-ified them, hard. Deeply Halston-esque silk gowns in rainbow striped or primary colors made a few cameos. There were also pleated skirts and necklines that plunged as low as Nixon's post-Watergate approval ratings. The '80s leg-of-mutton box was dutifully ticked. Saab contemporized his output a little by teaming some full-tilt sequined gowns with matching sequined baseball caps - and some starry ones too. And the black bomber jackets with split arms and golden ringlet details were sleekly pratique. This was as glitzy, fun, and light as a night spent busting booze moves to the tunes from way back when." - vogue.com

Christian Dior - #PFW Spring 2017

"The excitement surrounding Maria Grazia Chiuri's debut at Christian Dior was palpable - the first woman ever to take charge as creative director of this storied house, which for so long has stood for "femininity" in the psyche of French culture. But what does "femininity" mean in today's world? Chiuri is a grown-up professional, who comes from long experience at Valentino, and is ready to put forward her own synthesis of what modern femininity can look like. "The message, really, is that there is not one kind of woman," she said. What emerged wasn't a predictable chocolate-box repackaging of ladylike house codes, but a refreshingly widened viewpoint, inclusive of the sporty and the fragile. The balance between the two led to a whole series of relatable, simple, practical pieces aimed at drawing in a new audience. [However] there were plenty of things, which were pure Maria Grazie in this collection - her talent with a lacy blouse and beautifully embroidered tulle dresses and skirts, for example. Through the lineup, the net dresses, scattered with flowers, leaves, and tiny insects, and Chiuri's sumptuously innocent full-length dresses embroidered with tarot card imagery, were reminiscent of the work she did at Valentino." - vogue.com

Chanel - #PFW Spring 2017

 "This is technology. But with the lingerie, it's intimate technology!" Karl Lagerfeld's description of Chanel's spring show was typical of him - a mad linguistic paradox. Today's fashion isn't linear anymore. That much is for sure. We're in an era when everything can happen, all at the same time. And that's how it was here - in a big way. It included everything from tweeds twinkling with crystal and plastic and vibrant silk prints to pretty frothy chiffon sundresses, medallion necklaces, and a whole palette of summery colors. And among it all was a funny 3D Chane robot bag, the souvenir of the season." - vogue.com

Balmain - #PFW Spring 2017

"Rousteing was backstage, talking up this turning point before today's show and taking aim at his critics. "The Balmain Army has shed its armor," he said. "Whatever I do, even if I cover up my girls, people can say it's vulgar. But this is what it is. I think it's really chic, really French. It's Paris how I see it." But that doesn't mean this was a minimal collection. The excesses were just of a different sort. There were cut-outs on bodices that revealed a good bit of underboob, fashion's new erogenous zone. Slits extended way up the front of both thighs. And provocatively placed sheer bits drew the eyes to the hips and derrière. This is still plenty body-conscious. But in place of glitzy embroideries Rousteing let color do the talking. There were also a lot of knits. For evening, he proposed long split-seam dresses pavéd with multicolor crystals in Art Deco motifs and slinky chain mail dresses à la Versace. That's the kind of growth that the critics he was talking about backstage could believe in." - vogue.com
