Refreshing art

Last week, the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City was home to the Altitude Design Summit, a conference dedicated to those obsessed with all things design. While I wasn’t able attend, I couldn’t help but take notice of what people were talking about on Twitter.

I’ve been paying casual attention to the DesignSpongeOnline.com blog for a while now, but one thing that recently caught my eye was these antler/flower photographs by Keri Harer available on Etsy here starting at just $30.

What are your thoughts?

Great tasting, healthy, home-is-where the heart is meals

What is wonderful today?

Meals that remind you of home.  My parents are both great cooks that have developed some go-to recipes for our family.  One of these is stacked enchiladas.  What makes them so wonderful? The fact that you can put absolutely anything you want in them and drenched in enchilada sauce, they will be delicious.

It goes a little something like this.

Dip corn tortillas in enchilada sauce.

Spread whatever filling you want (I prefer cheese, chicken, sauteed onions and peppers, green chiles, mushrooms, olives, corn, but you could make it vegetarian with beans instead of meat, go cowboy with steak instead of chicken, lose the veggies or add more…)

Layer next enchilada sauce drenched corn tortilla.

Top with cheese and remaining enchilada sauce. Bake at 350 for about 30 mins and serve like a pie topped with sour cream, salsa, hot sauce, and serve with black beans and romaine lettuce.

My mom likes to add raisins to the filling for a salty/sweet combo, I’m not so into that

It’s wonderfully easy, cheap, and requires no tortilla rolling.

I resolve to take photos of future wonderful things.
