Low-Carb Cabbage & Chicken Enchiladas

-
I saw another one of those quick recipe video things and decided to try it out. We love Mexican food at our house and are always wanting to try new things!! Before I even looked at the actual recipe, I bought a head of lettuce instead of cabbage. OOPS! So, mine were a tad different but still tasted amazing!! The kids loved it too, I bet it would be even better with cabbage though :) video link below!!

            - INGREDIENTS-
  1. 1 
    head green cabbage
  2. 1 tbsp. 
    extra-virgin olive oil
  3. 1 
    large onion, chopped
  4. 1 
    red bell pepper, chopped
  5. Kosher salt
  6. 2 
    cloves garlic, minced
  7. 2 tsp. 
    ground cumin
  8. 2 tsp. 
    chili powder
  9. 3 c. 
    cooked and shredded chicken
  10. 1 1/3 c. 
    red enchilada sauce, divided
  11. 2 tbsp. 
    chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish
  12. 1 c. 
    shredded Monterey jack
  13. 1/2 c. 
    shredded cheddar
  14. Sour cream, for drizzling

  1. Preheat oven to 350º. In a large pot, boil 4 cups water. Using tongs, dip each cabbage leaf in water for 30 seconds and place on a paper towel-lined plate to dry.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and bell pepper and season with salt. Cook until soft, 5 minutes, then stir in garlic, cumin, and chili powder. Add shredded chicken and 1 cup enchilada sauce and stir until saucy. Turn off heat and stir in cilantro.
  3. Place a heaping spoon of chicken mixture into the center of each cabbage leaf. Fold the short sides of the cabbage leaf in first, then roll into a cylinder — like a burrito! Repeat until all chicken mixture is used.
  4. Spoon remaining 1/3 cup enchilada sauce over cabbage enchiladas and sprinkle with both cheeses. Bake until melty, about 20 minutes. Garnish with sour cream and more cilantro and serve.

Birth Story: Part 2

SO, where was I... Oh right, we decided to call both an OB & a midwife to see what the options were and what their opinions were on everything that had happened with my previous doctor. I got off the phone with the OB office, who I was really leaning towards because I believed I needed another hospital experience, I had tried unmedicated before and it just wasn't something I could do. I got off the phone with them and they said they would call me right back. Meanwhile, I called the midwife and left a message with them, a little relieved they didn't answer and feeling like maybe that was the sign that I was going to have it all work out with this other OB office.  I was out to lunch with my sisters when I missed the call, 1 new voicemail. It was from the OB office informing me that I was too late to take on as a new patient. They told me how sorry they were that it wouldn't work out but wished me all the luck. Juuust what I was dying to hear (queue the sarcasm). As I was...

A letter to my husband.

Saturday, we had our friend over all day to hang out with us. It was a great time, we went to two fun restaurants, sat outside, had some margaritas, and overall just enjoyed a relaxing day. Buuuttt little did our friend know, every time he would walk out of the room, run out to his car, or turn his head, I would stare at Sam and try to do the 'juju on that beat' dance. Sam would shake his head, smile big, try not to laugh, and would mouth to me "you're so white" and many other things of the like. I love that man. I tell you this because, as I was dancing to some Post Malone later that night brushing my teeth, (I'm sure right now you're like wow, Kendall is a freaking weird-o who dances all day lol) I realized - WOW. I'm sooo much more fun when I'm not pregnant. I'm like how I used to be when we were dating. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind being pregnant, I mean, I've been pregnant for like 3 years straight. It's just that th...

A sink full of dishes.

I honestly don't have anything specific on my mind I want to talk about, so I'm just going to write until it happens. I'm sitting here listening to the kids yell at each other in the other room and avoiding going in there at all costs. I love my kids dearly, but man - they can really pinch my last nerve sometimes. Last night, as I was standing over the sink full of dishes, I started to get teary eyed because I had this sweeping emotion of how 'this is just my life now.' It consists of waking up, children all day, cleaning, and then sleeping and starting over. I got into a funk last night because I forgot my purpose. I don't know about you, but I often lose sight of my purpose. I sit and feel so stuck in the now that it is hard for me to look past my current circumstances. I think back on what I thought my life would look like and see that it is not what I had imagined in my teen years. I used to believe I was going straight into ministry - rescuing women from...
