I Cooked...Can you believe it?

No secret here...I hate to cook! But for my family's own good, I've been trying to cook a little more. Yesterday I decided to cook one of my mom's recipes...I mean really, she's Cajun...who doesn't love Cajun food? Now, don't make this if you're looking for a low fat dinner..Cajun food is not low fat! ;)



Crawfish Pictures, Images and Photos



Crawfish Enchiladas


1/2 stick of butter
1/2 cup onions, chopped
1/2 cup bell pepper chopped
1 pound crawfish tails
1/2 cup half & half
1/2 cup Monterrey jack cheese shredded
1/2 cup Colby cheese shredded
1/4 block of Velveeta Mexican style cheese
Cajun Seasoning
10 flour tortillas


Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

In butter, saute onions and bell pepper until clear. Add crawfish, Velveeta, and half & half. Season to taste. On low, simmer for 15 minutes. Do not bring to boil.

Fill each tortilla with mixture; roll. Place seam side down in pan. When finished spoon remaining sauce over top and spread grated cheese on top. Bake for 10 minutes or until shredded cheese on top is melted.

Serve with green salad.


I only used 8 flour tortillas...because I kind of put too much mixture into the first few tortillas...this came out so delicious...and BOTH of my children ate theirs...and even asked for seconds. I was so shocked!! We love us some crawfish in our house and really can't wait to eat some hot and spicy boiled ones! Even though the whole family loved this recipe I probably won't make it too often because like I said before, it is by no means low in fat or sodium!! But it's ok to splurge sometimes, right?

That sounds yummy. But I doubt I will ever make. I HATE to cook. I generally fake a headache or am too tired to cook everyday!

Ooh La La Bakery in Katy. It is on 99 and Westheimer. Yum! Wednesday is my favorite day, because they have the Drama Queen (raspberry and chocolate) flavor. And yes. I did memorize the menu.

The sandwich thing sounds just like my kid!
