Well I have just spent the last couple hours trying to figure out childcare.
Whew. I’m exhausted.
In the summer time we have a sweet girl that comes back from college and watches the kiddos for me two times a week. But she is about to head out for school again and this (actually yesterday) was her last day.
I’m realizing that it would be helpful to have someone at the house helping me with Maddie while Cason is in school. I want to be able to be present when Cason comes home and on the off days when I don’t have to work.
Honestly, I’m not sure how I did it when I first started blogging. Cason was 1 year old and at that time I was still trying to figure everything out as well as promoting my blog posts on social media accounts. The social media part in and of itself is one exhausting job. Clearly I probably have PTSD from that time because I don’t remember how or what I did. All I know, is I got through it. Now, I have someone else that does all that social media stuff and she is a huge blessing. 🙂 Praise the Lord!

All that to say. I know that I feel like a better mom and a successful business owner when I have dedicated time to each aspect. Instead of “kinda” being present for one and then “kinda” being present for the other.
After putting feelers out everywhere locally with no success, I finally gave in to care.com. I asked a couple of my blog friends and all of them highly recommended it and said that they found their full time nanny/babysitter on that site.
So here we. Interviews are in process.
I think I might ask if they’re willing to wash dishes too. haha.. What do you think?

Ok.
Moving on to today’s recipe. These Chicken Enchiladas. The enchilada part is super easy. But I will say, you need to do some prep on this one. Mainly the poblano cream sauce, but it’s made from scratch y’all! (fist bump) So it’s definitely worth the extra time! If you make the sauce earlier in the week you could have these on the table in 30 minutes. Otherwise you’re gonna need about an hour because the sauce itself takes about 30 minutes.
But it’s well worth it. The poblanos are roasted in the oven with some onion and garlic then put into a food processor along with fresh cilantro, cumin, some honey (to calm down the heat from the poblanos) and then of course yogurt for the “creamy” part.

I know y’all are gonna love this sauce. Once it’s poured over the enchiladas and seeps into the crevices it makes this dish absolutely divine. There is so much flavor packed into every bite! I topped mine with charred corn and some radish, but I left the toppings open to you! Because I know some people like it plain and others like to load theirs up, so style them up however you want.
On top of being ridiculously delicious they are also under 300 calories a serving! Woot Woot!
Once you make these, make sure you try my meatless Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas too – they’re incredible!
Bon Appetit friends!
