Delicious Recipes for the New Year

This week we’re featuring 11 Chicken Enchilada Recipes, 5 Slow Cooker Dinners, Easy Salsa Verde Chicken, French Toast, Chocolate Truffles, and 8 Delicious Soup Recipes for Winter. We have a new co-host for recipes – Britta LaFont! She blogs and shares words of encouragement for women on her blog BrittaLaFont.com. Please show Britta a little bloggy love by liking BrittaLaFont on Facebook. Comments and features by Britta.

Saving You Dinero has created this amazing resource: CrockPot Freezer Meals – Printables. There are over 50 recipes for assembling freeze-ahead CrockPot dinner kits. You spend 1 hour sorting and bagging the ingredients for 5 meals. Then, on the appointed day, you take one meal bag out of the freezer, dump it in the CrockPot, and turn it on. Bam. Dinner’s done. Genius!
Simple Living and Eating just brought me back to New Orleans with this recipe; it reminds me of Bread Pudding. Lucious. She calls it Panettone French Toast Pudding. I call it getting a hug from your oven.
Easy Salsa Verde Chicken is on our menu tonight! I especially like the easy part because it makes for a perfect weeknight dinner. I saw this recipe on Sunday and bought the Salsa Verde and the chicken Monday. Thanks to Luv a Bargain, tonight we feast. That says it all.
Here is a little after Christmas gift for you: Simple Chocolate Truffles. This recipe has basically 2 ingredients. I’d say that is simple. Little House Living includes other variations that I would love (like peanut butter chocolate truffles). Yes. You’re welcome.
You can find 11 Chicken Enchilada Recipes That Will Make Your Mouth Water at the Super Mommy Club. There is so much cheesy goodness here—even the pictures are comforting. I love how she compiled this “best of” list with pictures and descriptions, but made it easy to find all the original content. She has easy versions, a kids’ version, a healthy version…something for everyone!
If you like soup, Dreaming of Leaving did all your work for you already; you don’t even have to go to Pinterest. She found 8 Delicious Winter Soup Recipes.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes ya’ll!
