Mexican Casserole

Enchilada Sauce (Brand of choice)

Prepared Bean Mix such as Somos Foods Mexican Street Corn Beans

Mixed Vegetables chopped (I used mixed cauliflower, zucchini and spinach)

Queso Fresco (I used Whole Foods) 

Almond Flour Tortillas or Tortilla of choice

Olive Oil

Salt

Gently roast or sauté the vegetable mix in advance.  Light roast or sauté since the vegetables will be re-cooked. 

In a casserole dish, spread or spray a little olive oil at the bottom of the dish.  Then spread some of the enchilada sauce in the dish. Take a few tortillas to layer and dredge them in the enchilada sauce on both sides, place them down in the dish, then cover them with beans, roasted vegetables, shred some of the Queso Fresco over these layers, dredge more of the tortillas, and repeat the layers. Top with the leftovers in an artful pattern, if you can. Sprinkle a little salt. 

Cover with lid.  Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.

Make a homemade guac to go with it or just serve on its own. 

Cook’s notes:  Mexican Green Squash is not readily available, therefore use zucchini.  The Farmer’s Market might have it in June. 

This was loosely based on a recent Smitten Kitchen recipe which featured eggs instead of the vegetables.  I decided to healthy it up. Though the version with eggs sounds great for Sunday brunch.  Smitten Kitchen is one of my favorite sources for recipes. Many great creators in the food space.

You could use a shredded Mexican cheese mix for a more Tex-Mex vibe.

Uh oh! So many leaks all over the place….

but not with these Mason Jars with lid and straw that are super fun. You can infuse different fruits and juices, add ice, syrups, and spices, have your iced coffee or tea.   No more leftover fruit hanging around the crisper, just chop and throw in, reusable straw, the straw attachment lid is easier to use than an original mason jar. Summer’s Coming. Time for drinks.  https://amzn.to/4eeRxoQ https://amzn.to/4eeRxoQ This post contains affiliate links.

Are you ok? The K‑Shaped Economy

Image
If you’re trying to understand all the K‑shaped economy talk, here’s the simplest way to picture it: the standard K chart tracking time and performance is an inverted, backward K tilted roughly 90 degrees to the right.  Sometimes you’ll see an upright K instead:   One arm goes up (winners). One arm goes down (strugglers).  Hanging off the upper K arm like the “Hang In There Kitty” posters of yore? You are not alone. There are some interesting K charts out there. Which arm of the K are you on? In good economic times or bad, there are cookies. Tate’s Bake Shop, from near Greens Water’s hometown, are cookies with a dedicated following:   https://amzn.to/3yqz7tO Photo from Unsplash, the “crowd‑sourced library of high‑quality free‑to‑use stock photos.” Credit: markus‑spiske‑53AIdxedO9g‑unsplash.

Bringing Whatever It Takes dating to group therapy.   Opinions My Own.   Haven’t done a book review in a while. This one is a doozy.   High-strung, disordered, high-achieving professional woman does the Whatever It Takes to get a mate.   While in group therapy.   She believes her ability to connect with all of humanity has been hampered.   Sure.   She finally gets referred to an unconventional counselor who conducts radical transparency group therapy. His prescription: What you need is a witness.   Didn’t dislike the Maximum Cringe Author/Narrator, as many reviewers did, or even question the sincerity of her quest.   But the lovable, eccentric therapist…, off-the-chain concerning, dispensing bad advice, conducting many examples of unethical behavior. Besides, when the author finally meets a real prospect for a mate, is it a result of growth or just the random happenstance of life?   S core this as a win for her, because mo...
