Deliciousness and My Random Fiance

I feel compelled to share the recipe I fixed last night that we enjoyed again tonight. I found it on Pinterest among the million savory sounding recipes on my Yummers! board that I have not yet found the motivation to make. I decided to finally give one a go! B and I have talked a lot recently about adding more vegetable based meals to our diets and this seemed like a good way to do so. 

The recipe is for stacked roasted vegetable enchiladas and you can find out how to make it here. I mostly followed the recipe, but doubled up on the cauliflower and cut the number of tortillas in half. Also, I am not chef-y enough to make my own tortillas, so I just bought the smaller whole wheat ones at the Kroger. 

This puppy is time intensive and requires a whole lot of chopping so if you're short on time, this is not the recipe you're looking for. You have to chop all the veggies then roast them for 45 minutes before you even assemble the casserole and then bake it for 30 more minutes. But friends- it is SO worth it! 
Veggie Goodness

After his first bite, Bryan said, "And this doesn't even have any meat in it? Wow!" The concept of an all vegetable meal is a tough one for the guy who has a personal vendetta against portobello mushrooms because they are sometimes substituted for beef in burgers. But, the seasoning and deliciousnes of the roasted veggies made up for it. You could easily substitute any of the veggies in the recipe for whatever you have on hand like broccoli, carrots, etc. 

The leftovers were equally as good tonight, too, so it's a good one to eat off of for the week. We had hoped this meal would last us three nights.... it did not. Too delicious to say no to seconds. Womp womp, cooking again tomorrow.

On another note, here is a glimpse into a happy moment I got to have today. I have an app on my phone that counts down to the wedding by the second. Sometimes this causes me to completely panic thinking about how much we still have left to do (hotel bags and fittings and programs, oh my!), but mostly it gets me really excited. Every day at 2:30 PM, the number of days until I am Mrs. Hill goes down by one. Often times I will text B and let him know about our new countdown number. Today, the number of days went from 66 to 65, so I sent him a text to let him know (because I am sure he was waiting with baited breath for the update!) Here is how that exchange went:



If you don't know Bryan, you probably think this is a very strange conversation. If you do know Bryan, you know that this is completely normal and it probably doesn't surprise you even a tiny bit. 

Strange? Yes. Did it make me laugh out loud at my desk and bring a smile to my face? You bet. 

Thankful for an almost husband who blows a pretend conch in triumph because we are getting hitched in 65 days.
