Our First Official New Apartment Meal!

Good morning!

On Monday, I fired up the stove in our new kitchen here in our DC area apartment for the first time! Since I was gone all last week in NYC at the Fitness Magazine Blogger Meet & Tweet and then Boston for the Reebok blogger event (recap 1 & recap 2), then had a friend in town over the weekend, Matt and I were well overdue for having our first home cooked meal and popping open a bottle of wine to celebrate our new apartment.

Loving Instagram lately — if you’re on it, follow me! My username is fannetasticfood.

I decided to whip up a variation of one of my favorite recipes here on the blog — my Sweet Potato & Black Bean Veggie Enchiladas (click for recipe).

I changed the recipe up a little bit based on what I had on hand. I left out the enchilada sauce and instead just added a lot more salsa, I added avocado, and I just did two layers of tortillas (Ezekiel brand — a few tortillas on the bottom of the pan, and a few on top to cover it all, with just a mass of the ingredients in between) instead of wrapping them like burritos, because the tortillas made the trip from Chapel Hill with us and were kind of falling apart. 🙂

This was seriously AMAZING — we both were “mmmm”-ing the whole time while eating it. It was especially good with a little Cholula chili garlic hot sauce on top!

I also whipped up a batch of my Vegan & Gluten Free Granola Bars for the week. Yum!

Time to finish up my last worksheet module, make a visit to my clinical internship hospital to get a health clearance, and then start packing — I leave tomorrow morning for the Reach the Beach Relay!

Have a great day!

    I've never made enchiladas at home but this post sure makes me want to take the plunge! They sound delish.

    I always layer my enchiladas like lasagna. So much easier, and you can pack in more stuff if you're wanting a big batch for a crowd or leftovers.

      I'm pretty sure I'll never be wasting time making real enchiladas again. Enchilada lasagna was way easier and still delicious :)

    Good to see the inaugural meal went well in the new aptmt, Anne! Well done! Sounds delicious (except for the garlic!). A favor: pls give us a recipe for a very healthy, good carb only breakfast that doesn't require milk, etc. -- could be carried on trips and simplify getting breakfast on them. Thx!

    You know, I have never tried Ezekiel bread. I think I will give it a try. It looks very tasty in your recipes today.

    I am so excited to have found your blog. I am a recent college grad who majored in Wildlife Biology, am working in Marketing (what?) and am planning on going to grad school to get my MPH, possibly abroad, because it is a dream of mine to live in Europe. I look forward to catching up on old posts and see how your journey progressed.

    Dying to try those enchiladas! Making them casserole-style sounds like a time-saver too :)
