First thing that comes to mind when you read those words? Should be a short but muscular sailor with good ethics and an addiction to spinach. And, seeing as how I'm from the south, Texas to be exact, enchiladas are a part of the culture and general fare.
So, here's an easy way to enjoy the deliciousness of enchiladas, the power of spinach, and not break your back with hours of rolling individual tortillas.
Ingredients:
3 Tbs Olive Oil
4 Large Onions (diced)
1 Large Cloves Garlic (minced)
75 oz Chopped Frozen Spinach
25 Tortillas
6 C Cheddar Cheese
3 tsp Salt
1.5 tsp Cumin (ground)
5 Cream of Mushroom Soup (10 oz can)
Pre-heat an oven to 375F.
In a large mixing bowl combine the spinach, onion, garlic, oil, 4 cups of cheese, salt, and cumin.
In a 9X11 casserole dish, layer 8 tortillas in the bottom then spoon some of the mixture over. Continue layering this way until you run out of mix or tortillas.
Pour the soup over top and spread evenly.
Bake for 30-45 min. Take out and sprinkle the remaining cheese over top and place back in the oven for another 15 min. Remove and let sit for 3-5 min before serving.
You can always serve this with a salsa, sour cream, guacamole, etc.

With great power comes great responsibility
Wow, it's been a LOOOOOOONG time since I've posted anything here. But don't worry, I haven't forgotten about y'all. So, now run my own kitchen. I am the head chef at Bridgeway Software. I'm going to try to cronicle my journey in this new environment. My journey to better myself as a chef and as a person.
So, not only do I have this new job, but I have a new mission from God. Well, not a "new" mission per say... But I'm finnaly really listening to Him and His will. I feel I'm being led to open a mission house to help the poor, the hungry, the needy, the addicted, the "scum" of our city. The destitute. Did y'all know that in Houston, we are ranked 39th (with first being the best) in child safety? And that we're 9th on the list of top cities with the highest child hunger?! I don't know about you... but that doesn't sit right with me. I feel the need to do something about it!
So, with God's help, actually, only through God, will I/we change the situation. There are tons of charities out there, but they are either doing their own thing or they're not following God. "His House" will be a beacon of hope to those in need. A place where children and families can come to get food, free or nearly free. They can get counseling and help with life. Addicts can come to get help, the homless can come and get support, ex-criminals can get help getting back on their feet with job training and accountability.
Also, my brother and I are going to be going to Nicaragua in December. We're going for a week to minister to the believers there. He is going to be speaking/running a "Boys to Men" conference and I'll be doing a Vacation Bible School for the orphans in Cascabel. http://kidsofcascabel.shutterfly.com/ We are trying to raise $3000.
So, I would ask that y'all join with me in prayer, not only for my new job, that everything would go smoothly and I would be productive. But also for the mission with which I feel God has given me. And for our trip, the God will supply the funds nessecary and would guide and direct us in the specifics of how and what to do while there.
