Romaine Leaf Blue Cheese Salad































23 He said to them, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 I told you that you would die in your sins, for unless you believe that I am he you will die in your sins." - John 8:23-24


Baby Romaine from Costco, grown in Arizona
Green Goddess salad dressing  
Blue cheese
Crisp baked Bacon, crumbled 
Black or white Raisins
Spicy honey roasted pecans, chopped (recipe on this blog under nuts tab)

You can do a few or a lot.
You can double leaves.
Use that imagination!!
Serve buffet style on a platter.

Wash lettuce, separate into leaves, dry.
Chop 2 leaves, leave the rest in whole leaves.
To layer, start with lettuce leaf, then add a tablespoon of chopped lettuce, drizzle a little green goddess, then bacon, raisin and end with the chopped pecans.

No Cook Lemon Icebox Pie



























42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me.
43 Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word.
44 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.
46 Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God." - John 8:42-47

Sour Cream Salsa Verde Pork Enchiladas



































22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering,
23 and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,
24 and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
25 See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven.
26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens."
27 This phrase, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of things that are shaken-that is, things that have been made-in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe,
29 for our God is a consuming fire. - Hebrews 12:22-29




3 c Left over pulled pork, I used pork Tenderloin (you can also use Rotisserie chicken or make cheese ones using quesadilla cheese and Queso Fresco combination 
1 c cheese, I used quesadilla cheese from Aldi
1/2 c crumbled Queso Fresco
1 c enchilada sauce, recipes this blog under sauce tab

Mix the above ingredients to make the filling and set aside.
Fill 6 inch size flour tortillas.
Should make 10 enchiladas.

Sour Cream Sauce

1. Melt 1 T butter and whisk in 1 T flour, sauté 1 minute.
Cool 5 minutes.

2. Whisk into cooked flour/butter mixture.
1 c chicken stock

3. Whisk these into chicken stock mixture.
1 c sour cream
1/4 c salsa verde
Pinch of salt 
A few turns cracked black pepper

Reserve
2 T enchiladas sauce
2 T sour cream sauce
1/2 c quesadilla cheese

In a 13x9 pan, spread a little enchilada sauce and a little sour cream sauce. 
This keeps the enchiladas from sticking to pan.
Place the enchiladas seam side down.
Pour the rest of the sour cream enchiladas sauce over top.
Add a little black pepper and salt.
Seal in foil, bake preheated 400 degree oven for 30 minutes.
Remove foil and sprinkle 1/2 c quesadilla cheese over and put under broiler to brown.
Watch carefully to prevent burning.
