Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Casserole
In this slow cooker chicken enchilada casserole, the tender chicken thighs almost shred themselves. With black beans, corn, and tortillas in a flavorful sauce, this dish is plenty cheesy and satisfying.
Ginger Garlic Paste
After finding tons of recipes calling for ginger garlic paste, but only finding ginger paste or garlic paste at local grocery stores, but not both, I decided to find a recipe for it myself. Basically, it is just equal amounts of ginger and garlic pulsed together. Store it in the refrigerator or freezer. You may use water instead of oil, but it will not keep as long.
Irish Soda Bread with Raisins
Love Irish soda bread with raisins with a good cup of tea or coffee. You can add an egg wash to the top of the bread and then sprinkle with sugar before baking, if desired.
