Newbie – Enchiladas

It’s been a busy couple of weeks at our place… I feel like a record on repeat saying that!  I sure most of you can relate.

Last week I graduated from my 200 HR yoga teacher training in Hawaii!! It was an incredibly tough journey, but I am thrilled with all I have learned from my teacher and now have the chance to share. I wasn’t planning on jumping into to the work force for a month or two, but a studio owner contacted me and needed  a sub for the next 6 weeks! Wow, I’ll take it! I start teaching tomorrow and I must say I am so excited to share what I have been practicing and learning for years. Say a little prayer for me (or send me your good vibes). If they like me the I get my own classes 🙂 

On that note, I wanted to re post one of my very first attempts at converting my families favorite meal to be plant-based. I had veteran mommy by my side. Literally in my kitchen walking me through the substitute sauce. I am grateful to those (especially the other two mommies) who believe you must teach what you know!

This was once a chicken enchilada recipe now all plant-based and delish!!
