Buffalo Chicken Enchiladas

Hi there!

Did you have a nice Christmas? I did!

I took last week off from blogging to spend some time with my family.

It was wonderful.

Did you get any great presents?? I got an ice cream maker!! I'm so excited! Now I just need to get a recipe book for it.

So what was your favorite present this year???

Now that we are looking to the New Year, I've started thinking a lot about my health and losing weight again now that Baby N is a little older and gives me some time to do anything but feed him.

I've also been thinking about this blog a lot. I had a friend tell me that she doesn't look at my blog anymore because she was trying to lose weight and everything I was posting was so unhealthy.

When did this happen? When did I let go of the healthy, fitness crazed person I was?

No matter when it happened, it's time to get it back.

So that is your warning. I'm looking to overhaul this blog and try to make it more health minded.

Sure, I will have cakes. After all, I love to bake. But they may not be every day anymore.

With that being said, I do still have a few treats to post still. Including the most obnoxious cake in all of the land.

Today though, I'm bringing you something a bit more healthy. I figure you all are either tired of turkey and ready to move on, or you can use any leftover turkey you have in this recipe if you so desire.

A while back I made these buffalo chicken enchiladas. I love that whole wheat tortillas were used in the making of this dish.

I never post about the healthy changes I make to the recipes I create. But luckily, this one I had to change nothing, except the cheese. The original recipe calls for gorgonzola on top but I don't dig on that so I used more monterey jack cheese.

These were the perfect combination of two of my favorite foods. Enchiladas. And buffalo wings.

They were spicy and cheesy. The cilantro gave a fresh flavor. They were gooey and delicious. Don't believe me? Go make them yourself!

Mix together your enchilada and buffalo wing sauces. Then add together the chicken, some cheese, the onions, and some of the sauce mixture.

Drizzle some sauce into the bottom of your baking dish.

Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture and place in the baking dish, seam side down. Finish filling the tortillas until the mixture and tortillas are all used up.

Top the enchiladas with some sauce and cheese then bake it up baby!

Immediately after removing from the oven, top with the remaining cheese and cilantro. Let stand about 10 minutes.

Serve and enjoy!!

Whole Wheat Gingerbread Pancakes with Brown Sugar Whipped Cream

I don't know about you, but I'm ready for this holiday season to be over!

I have been so insanely busy that I can barely think straight anymore.

However, I think it's all down hill from here. I have one more Christmas gift to find and I'm done. But I do still have to finish wrapping everything.

How are you doing with your holiday shopping??

One of the great (or maybe not so great) things about the holidays is all the food!

I had my first annual Christmas Cookie Club meeting last night. It was a fabulous time and I have a ton of amazing cookies to enjoy!

AND! I get to make things like gingerbread pancakes! You can't go wrong there!

What I liked about this recipe is that it is a bit healthier than other pancake recipes. The whole wheat flour did not take anything away from the taste of these pancakes. In fact, I think it added to their enjoyment.

The brown sugar whipped cream was just sweet enough to really enhance the spicy flavor of the gingerbread pancake. The whole breakfast was amazing!

Let's do this!

Whisk together your flour with a few choice spices.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the butter, milk, egg, and yogurt.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated.

Cook up your pancakes.

Toss your heavy cream, brown sugar, and vanilla in a chilled mixing bowl and whisk the heck out of it until soft peaks form.

Serve your pancakes with a dollop of the whipped cream and some maple syrup if you desire.

Enjoy!!

Easy Buttermilk Drop Biscuits and Giveaway Winners

Hello there!

I am writing to you from my spanking new computer!!

Do you feel different?? I do! It's so sleek and pretty.

In case you are wondering, I got an HP Envy14 with an i5 processor. His name is Zelos and we were made for each other!

He came all the way from Shanghai China just to be with me. It was meant to be.

Anyway, enough about me and my new beloved.

Let's talk about you. Let's talk about the giveaway I recently hosted. This giveaway was pretty easy to figure out the winners. Only 2 people entered in the giveaway correctly so those are the 2 winners!

Amy Beth Marantino and Avril!! 

Please send me your addresses ladies. You can email me at mannadonn[AT]msn[DOT]com

Now, onto the biscuits!

My Baby Sis started staying with me recently and she loves breakfast. But what she REALLY loves for breakfast is savory foods. So, whereas I make pancakes, she makes eggs with sausage and veggies. 

She decided one day that it would be awesome for us to have some biscuits with our biscuits so I quickly set about to finding us a recipe.

My Baby Sis was doing great making the biscuits, until she started cutting the butter into the flour that is. I ended up taking over and making the biscuits myself. Now she teases me constantly and says I refuse to let her bake anything. (We won't mention how I took over the next thing she tried to bake either)

So we made biscuits. And they were good!

They were flaky and buttery yet dense and moist all at the same time.

The best part about these biscuits though?? Not having to wait for yeast to rise! These biscuits are quick and easy and can be whipped up any morning while you are making your savory breakfast. 

Let's bake!

Whisk together your dry ingredients.

Then mix up your butter and buttermilk. Combine with the dry ingredients.

Drop the biscuits onto a parchment lined baking sheet. At this point the recipe said to bake them THEN brush with butter...but I didn't read the recipe right so I brushed them with butter BEFORE I baked them.

Either way. Bake these babies up until they are golden brown and crispy.

Smother with jam, serve, and enjoy!!

Black Forest Trifle with Duncan Hines and Comstock-Wilderness {Giveaway Closed}

Hi! How was your Thanksgiving??

Mine was good. My Baby Sis, the kids, and I drove 13 hours to Alabama to spend the holiday with my Dad. It was really nice and we had a great time. And, of course, the food was amazing!

Before I took off to the deep South, I was lucky enough to snag a couple cans of some cherry pie filling and some brownie mix to make this trifle.

Being part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker program has given me so many opportunities to stretch my creativity in the kitchen and this time was no exception.

Through this program I was gifted with coupons for a Duncan Hines product and a can of Comstock-Wilderness fruit filling.

The BEST part about this program is that now, I get to give TWO lucky blog readers TWO coupons for Duncan Hines products! Check out the end of this post to find out how to enter to win!

Now, on to the good stuff.

I love trifles.

I think they are so easy to put together but that they transport your dessert into something spectacular. Most people think it takes me hours to make these desserts. But that isn't the case.

These flavors are perfect for a holiday dessert. And what's really cool about trifles is that you can also use the dessert as a centerpiece for your holiday table!

Let me show you how easy this is to make:

Bake up your brownies according to the package.

Mix up your cherry pie filling with the almond extract, set aside a 1/2 cup of the mixture. Mix the juice into the bowl.

Cut up your brownies into small cubes.

And chop up the majority of your chocolate bars.

Whisk together the pudding mix and milk until thick.

Then fold in the whipped topping.

Assemble your trifle.

Serve and enjoy!!

Pumpkin Cheesecake with Ginger Pecan Crust

**Don't forget to enter my giveaway HERE.**

When I was little, I would never swallow something that I didn't like. What was even more awesome than this was that I would never spit it out either.

I would stand there, holding whatever it was in my mouth until it started seeping out from between my lips.

One of the things that I've always disliked is cheesecake.

I also have this weird habit of continuing to try things that I don't like just to make sure I don't like it.

One year, The Hubble gave me a bite of his New York cheesecake (The Hubble loves cheesecake). I took the bite and a few seconds after putting the bite in my mouth I realized that I was holding it there. Not swallowing, not spitting it out.

At that point I figured since I was an adult, I should force myself to swallow it.

The one exception to this dislike of cheesecake is the pumpkin cheesecake.

When I worked at the Barnes & Noble in Las Cruces, NM my boss there convinced me to try a piece of pumpkin cheesecake. I fell head over heels in love!

Pumpkin cheesecake is like a smooth, creamy pumpkin pie. Ten times better than regular pumpkin pie. I was hooked!

When The Cake Slice Bakers voted on this pumpkin cheesecake for the month of November, I was a bit hesitant but also excited. See, I already have a pumpkin cheesecake recipe that I like. BUT, I was definitely willing to give this one a try. Especially when I realized the crust was made of ground pecans and crystallized ginger!

This cheesecake did NOT disappoint. In fact, it may replace my other recipe. It is smooth and creamy. This is the first cheesecake I've made that didn't crack. And the crust. Oh the crust. I am a sucker for all things ginger, and when it's crystallized ginger?? Be still my heart!

This recipe is definitely a keeper. Do youself a favor...run out and get the ingredients to make this and serve it at your Thanksgiving Day feast. Your loved ones will thank you!

Let's bake!

Let's make the crust first. Throw all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Process that stuff until the pecans are finely ground and the whole thing starts to come together as a dough.

Press the mixture into a greased, foil wrapped springform pan.

Then bake it up until the edges start to brown. Place it on a wire rack and let it cool completely.

While that's cooling, we can make the filling. Whisk together the pumpkin, cream and some spices.

Then cream the cream cheese until it's fluffy.

Add the granulated...

And brown sugar gradually.

Then add the eggs, one at a time. Make sure you mix well and scrape the bowl in between each addition.

Now mix in the pumpkin mixture.

And the cornstarch.

Pour the filling onto the cooled crust. Place the whole thing in a water bath and bake it up until the top is set but still a bit wobbly.

Place the pan on a wire rack, remove the foil and immediately run a paring knife along the edges to prevent the top of the cake from cracking.

Make your pumpkin seeds and whipped cream if you are going to.

Slice the cake, dollop with whipped cream, sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds, serve, and enjoy!!

Apple Pancakes with Cinnamon Syrup

**Don't forget to enter my giveaway HERE.**

Last week, before I posted the buttermilk pancakes, I asked my Facebook friends if they wanted me to post biscuits or pancakes.

Besides a little "biscuits for president!" thing, the majority of the votes were for pancakes.

One particular person asked for apple pancakes. This definitely intrigued me.

What was really weird, was that another friend randomly posted that she was craving pancakes with cinnamon apples on top. Now I was REALLY intrigued.

So, I did a little digging and combined a few recipes to come up with this delicious breakfast.

You know how I love my Sunday breakfast tradition, so I made these this past Sunday and there were none left by the time my family came around.

The pancake is fluffy while being soft and moist. Each bite studded with fresh apple chunks was heaven. Adding the toasted pecans for a crunchy texture made me super happy...I love texture in food! And pouring the cinnamon syrup atop this stack of melt in your mouth delightfulness was just sheer genius.

What is really great is that these pancakes are low in fat. AND, if you have some left over cinnamon syrup, you can pour it in your coffee for a cinnamon dolce flavor.

So gather your loved ones around your breakfast this Sunday and serve them a plate of these apple pancakes with cinnamon syrup. But beware, Sunday breakfast may become a tradition after a meal this good!

Let's get cooking!

For the syrup. Whisk together some sugars, corn starch and cinnamon.

Whisk in some water and vanilla. Heat it until thickened.

Remove from heat and whisk in some butter.

For the pancakes. Whisk together some flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

In a measuring cup, whisk together some yogurt, milk, vanilla and eggs.

Mix together the dry and wet ingredients.

Then stir in the apples.

On a hot, oiled skillet, drop the batter in 1/4 cup increments and cook it up.

Top with butter, toasted pecans, and cinnamon syrup.

Serve and enjoy!!
