We were doing so good. Jackson has been doing his business outside like a champ. But this morning, he decided that standing next to the door was good enough. I’m pretty sure he’s been holding that amount of pee in for at least a week. He’s about 13 pounds and now he’s probably 6 pounds. That guy.
I’m real excited. My favorite blogger, How Sweet It Is, finally has her first cookbook for preorder. Let me preface something: she is not a paleo blogger. Not even close. But she has incredibly creative recipes and the best photography ever. And she’s funny. Funny women are the best. I’m absolutely preordering her book just so I can stare at the pictures.
I’ve thought something was a bit funny at instagram lately. So whenever I post a picture using Against The Grain Gourmet rolls, people get all upset because they have cheese in them. And if my instagram name is paleomg, I should post only strict paleo foods. BUT when I post any sort of dessert like chocolate or my cupcakes or anything sweets related, NO ONE ever complains. I think it’s the strangest thing.
Just to spite those people, I put goat cheese on this recipe. What an a**hole I am.
PS I’m typing this blog post with one hand because Jackson refuses to calm the sh*t down. So I’m shoving his bone in his mouth to try to keep him calm. It ain’t workin’.
Have you seen my newsletter yet?? I recently decided to try something new and stop sending out my daily recipe emails and just send out a weekly newsletter recapping everything that was on the blog. And then, I’ll also be able to send you book tour dates! I haven’t found out set dates for the tour yet, but I should know in the next week! So sign up and then I can meet you guys at book signings!!
On a complete different subject, I’m dreaming about a vacation. I have some weddings this summer and I’ll probably spend a lot of time on the lake, but I need a beach vacation come fall. I’ve been quite intrigued with the thought of going to the Florida Keys and Key West. I’ve heard that it’s pretty expensive, but it looks like one of the most gorgeous places. Has anyone been there? I want to know more about it, but from people instead of just the internet. Tell me things. Did you love it? What was your favorite place to stay? What did you do there? Are you a million?

I was a little skeptical about how this recipe would turn out. We LOVED it! I didn’t even use my salsa that I had planned on putting on top, it was just super creamy on it’s own 🙂 My kids put theirs in tortillas. Thanks for the great recipe!
Hey Juli, I must’ve done something wrong because mine came out super runny…any advice or suggestions?!
K
no clue, it shouldn’t be watery at all
I love the blog “How sweet it is” too. The Thai enchiladas are the best. Have not had them since going paleo.
Made this lastnight for the Hubby and myself. OMG!!! Not only was it super easy and inexpensive, but blew us away by how good it was. I’m so glad we didn’t eat the whole thing so that I can have some leftovers today. Thinking about frying an egg to add on top for a yummy lunch!
Thanks again for your creativity. Mexican is one of my favorites, so adopting a paleo lifestyle while still getting to enjoy it has been Fab!
How many cups is a pound of chicken? I put in 2 1/2-3 cups and it ended up more like an egg casserole with chicken 🙁 not what I was looking for but it did taste decent. Also mine was a runny…any suggestions?
That sounds about right. Make sure you drain the can of chills and cut the eggs back to 2 if you felt it was too much egg
This was easy and so yummy! I ended up just buying a couple of chicken breasts and baking them in the oven before shredding them. let me just say.. adding the cilantro and goat cheese made this 10 million times more delicious! I’ve started putting goat cheese on everything actually. The only downside was that my chicken was a tad tough but that was obviously my bad and not because of the recipe.
I made this tonight and it was really delicious. I cooked the chicken breasts in a slow cooker and then shredded it. This was super easy and it was really nice garnished with goat cheese.
Made this last night and it was delicious – I did have to cook it for an hour and 20 mins and let it set – but not runny at all. My husband and I had to resist eating the whole thing. We ended up skipping the goat cheese and using sour cream!
PaleOMG is right. Honestly thought I was going to stand there and eat the whole entire pan. Piping hot. Scalding my mouth. I didn’t even care. I ended up using only 2 eggs after reading the reviews. Spread it a little thinner in a 13″ x 9″ pan and it cooked perfectly after an hour. Couldn’t find El Pato enchilada sauce… I found literally everything else El Pato has ever made except their enchilada sauce so I used Frontera(?) instead. The ingredients and nutrition information was almost the exact same. Thank you so much for your recipes. They have yet to steer me wrong!
Thanks so much for this recipe! We loved the flavor and I definitely will make it again. I, too, found the dish had a lot of liquid. Next time, I’ll drain the chilies and may reduce the egg.
