Skinny Enchilada Soup is a simple recipe with tons of Mexican flavor and minimal calories! It's no secret that we eat a lot of soups over at our house. They are usually easy to make, the recipes can be doubled and frozen easily, they go good with most side dishes, and they are perfect for cold weather. 'Skinny' soups are also a great way to keep your calorie intake low (well, that and will power), because most healthy soups are fairly low calorie. I highly suggest doubling this recipe and freezing some for later, because it's delicious and makes an easy dinner, or quick ...

Samosa Stuffed Baked Potatoes
Have you ever had a samosa? Considered Indian food, they are little deep fried shells that are filled with a mixture of mashed potato, onion, green peas, spices and green chili. They are usually served with a little sauce on the side as well. They are SO delicious. My friend recommended trying a samosa the first time I ever had Indian food, and I was hooked since then. They are seriously the perfect little appetizer, but unfortunately they aren’t too little (they are kind of large, stuffed triangles), and they fill you up. So while you are eating those, your other food is cooking, ...
Vegetarian Nacho Soup
Have you ever followed a basic recipe, only to have it come out horribly? Yeah, that happens to me occasionally, and it’s always such a bummer when it does. When I saw this recipe (gone wrong), I thought it looked good and wanted to try it. It’s hard to find vegetarian soup recipes that are really hearty because typically a nacho soup would have beef or some kind of meat, right? So this veggie-only option is really great, however the recipe I followed did not come out well…it came out bad. So bad that I ended up tossing it. It just really didn’t seem salvageable. I hate hate hate ...
Cheesy Veggie Enchilada Skillet Rice
I was really excited to partner with Minute® Ready to Serve Rice on this post! As many of you know, Mexican food is my jam. I seriously love it. I love the flavors, the variety, the occasional spice….it’s the best. However, being a vegetarian really limits options when it comes to Mexican food. All the meat is usually substituted with cheese, and sometimes having a cheese filled enchilada is just too much cheese (sounds impossible, but true). I really love having vegetable substitutions and am obsessed with spinach and black bean enchiladas. Yum. Anyway, when I saw a recipe ...

One Pot Mexican Quinoa Bowls
I’m not going to lie, these Mexican Quinoa Bowls are amazing. I saw this recipe months ago over on Pinterest, and I knew I had to make it immediately. A few months later one of my friends sent me the recipe saying she had made it, and was currently shoveling it into her mouth. Must be good, right? I ended up making it that same week, and I was annoyed with myself for not making it sooner! It is so good. I love Mexican food, but not the calories that usually come with it. This Mexican Quinoa has a dash of cheese, which is just enough to satisfy ...
