    By the way if you freeze the leftover sauce in icecube tray and when frozen pop out of the tray and put it in a Ziploc bag so you can defrost a cup or two with each serving of enchiladas to defrost 😁

    My favorite summer lunch meal is cooked pasta, cucumber, tomatoes and topped with zesty Italian salad dressing. Serve chilled.

    For anyone who's interested: those cream cheese in the squeeze packets......you can tear those & get more of the product. So the most frustrating part for me was squeezing those out. You dont have to. Just clip the top either tear or w/ kitchen scissors & the package comes out whole. I know it's not much but it might help someone out there :D
    Thanks for the simple ideas, Miranda! They really really make a difference when that energy is just not there

    Always love your dollar meals! I've been a fan for a long time now. You just have the easiest and simplest ideas! I guess that time you spent getting out of debt paid off in more than one way.

    The cream cheese in the rice, while not overdone, will provide a delicious balance to these flavorful ingredients. I’m making this quick and easy meal.

    The enchilada sauce was on clearance because the store had a lot of Cinco de Mayo related ingredients on overstock at that point. Our Kroger affiliate does the same thing after certain holidays, you will see a bunch of clearance items related to that holiday

    That looks really good! And that’s a portion size I would eat. Summer foods just made me think of my mother’s kidney bean salad. Kidney beans, chopped hard boiled egg, some diced cheddar cheese, diced onions, sweet relish and dressing made with mayo, vinegar and a bit of sugar. Salt and pepper to taste. Now thinking about it I would probably add cooked pasts bow ties.

      Oh and the sauce is 1/4 cup rice vinegar
      2 tbs sugar
      2 tbs lime juice
      I clove garlic or garlic powder is what I usually do.
      Instead of fish sauce and chili flakes I do a sweet chili sauce or what every kind of sauce you want to put 1/4 cup. It makes 2 or 3 servings

      our baby is very small, i've shared a few updates on my other channel but we found we have a 2 vessel cord (a normal umbilical cord is 3, 2 arteries and 1 vein, mine is 1 and 1) which can cause the baby so be smaller because even though they are getting the nutrients they need, they're not getting as much! we've been going in weekly for monitoring and growth scans for months which I'm very thankful for because we get weekly updates and we know she's growing well! she won't be big but she's perfect and that's all that matters!

      I had a similar situation with my younger one. She ended up being 4lbs 14oz when she was born but healthy and we went home after 2 days. (Scheduled C-section) She wasn't even on the charts till she was about 3 months old now at 10 she's in the 90+ percentile on the charts.

    I like your portion size, after all, it's lunch. I posted on a FB page a 1/4 lb hamburger patty with lettuce and pickles on a bun with a side cucumber salad and folks to issue with it. I pointed out I had a protein, a vegetable and a carb. What more do you need? LOL! Folks don't pay attention to serving size, IMHO which can drive up their grocery bill. I say ignore the critics.

    • @flourishingmiranda
