Foodie Fridays : Chili Colorado Burritos , Frozen Banana Bites

Is it just me or is stew a hearty fall meal ? I had stew meat in the freezer the other day and was totally not into stew so instead I figured I'd try making Chili Colorado . Mmmm mmm good! I basically threw it together so bear with me on the measurements .

Ingredients : 

2 pounds if stew meat

19 oz can of enchilada sauce 

1 tablespoon of cumin

1 teaspoon oregano

1 - 2 teaspoons of chili powder depending on how spicy you want it 

2 beef bullion cubes

2 tablespoons of flour 

Shredded cheese 

Directions : 

1. Combine all ingredients except cheese and flour in a crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours 

2. When meat is fully cooked thicken the sauce by sprinkling flour into sauce and stir well . Make sure you sprinkle it on top instead of dumping the flour in by the spoonful to avoid lumps of flour .

3. Full tortillas with meat mixture and shredded cheese . I also put beans in mine as well but it's totally up to you . 

4. Top burrito with sauce and cheese and melt cheese on top .

These chocolate covered banana bites hit the spot when I'm craving a sweet treat. Although they are covered in chocolate for some reason I feel slightly less guilty eating these since fruit is included lol

Ingredients :

2 bananas

1 cup dark chocolate meltables 

Cookie sheet lines w wax paper 

Directions : 

1. Slice bananas into about 1/2 inch thick rounds 

2. Melt chocolate in the microwave according to package . A good rule of thumb is about 30 seconds, stir , and repeat until chocolate is fully melted 

3. Dip bananas into chocolate and place of wax paper lined cookie sheet.

4 . Place cookie sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes or more until chocolate and bananas are semi frozen

Muggin' It

In February I signed up to participate in Kailyn Marie's March Mug Swap. I love signing up for these swaps because its so much fun receiving a little treat in the mail and picking out the perfect gift for your swap partner. I got matched up with the adorable Jessica at Wifesticated. I absolutely love the mug she chose for me. I have a nurse Christmas ornament and a necklace with the nurses prayer on it that I got as graduation gifts but this is my first nursing item that I can use on a daily basis . I love the verse and colors as well. I enjoyed stalking Jess's blog to get to know her a little bit better and hopefully I chose the perfect mug for her as well! Check out her blog to see her reveal in the next few days.
