Slow Cooker Chicken Enchiladas

Hello Monday and hello friends –

How was your weekend?  Mine was uneventful and productive.
My favorite combo for a weekend for sure.

Had a great conversation with Stacy yesterday evening.  She and her husband had just returned from a restful, wonderful short vacation and she wanted to catch up and run some ideas for her STACY’S WORLD column by me ((coming this Friday!)).
Of course, I love all of her clever, creative ideas!
This Friday’s STACY’S WORLD is an absolute don’t wanna miss read.

And during the course of our chat we discussed Daymaker’s – Top of the Morning format.

T’was a valuable, collaborative visit as we continue to strive to create a happy streamline experience for Daymaker readers.

Presenting the new and improved format for Top of the Morning!

Collected these treasures to share today:

BEGINNING WITH:

• Do you have a preferred pen you reach/search for when there might be a choice of 2 or 3 in the pen/pencil mug or in a drawer around the house for writing lists?
  Me?  Mine has always been the Bic Pen.  I don’t know why.
  I’ll pass up a fancy, fine calligraphy type of pen and go for the inexpensive familiar Bic pen every time!
  Ha
  How about you?
  This little video is quite fascinating!  And the number of pens produced worldwide to date is quite mind blowing.

• Got Bees?

  I do.  Not only the ones that go from flower to flower – but – I also have the ones that actually burrow in a pretty good size hole IN the ground.
  Yep and Yikes!  And they can be aggressive as they buzz about.
  And, indeed, they can certainly be an annoying drag when hanging out on the deck or patio as the cooler temperatures roll in — buzzing around, landing on drink glasses or lunch or dinner plates.
  So this article totally caught my attention.
  HOW TO KEEP BEES AWAY IN THE FALL

• Amusing Anti-Cheating hats

  These kids should get an A+ for their creativeness and – double plus – they’ve already got a little something race-ready for upcoming Halloween trick or treating!
  I loved all of the hats, however, gotta say the dude wearing the chainsaw hat was my particular favorite.

• I Never Tire of Seeing Clever Signage here/there/everywhere!

  And this restaurant’s signage never disappoints.
  Funny tongue-in-cheek greatness.
  Loving the one best that reads, “When Is Old Enough to Know Better Supposed to Kick In?”
  Hat tip El Arroyo!  You bring laughter to us.
  THIS FANTASTIC RESTAURANT HAS THE BEST, MOST CLEVER SIGNAGE OF ALL

• RECIPE (!)

  I think it would be hard to find someone who doesn’t enjoy a great enchilada.
  And imagine making them in a slow cooker?!
  Love it!
  And the reviews totally give these enchiladas a kiss of affection and seal of approval!

  As soup season slides in with Autumn, this Mexican Vegetable Soup is certainly on my radar!

• RECIPE (!)

  Another winner-winner soup for dinner recipe.
  Broccoli Cheddar Soup using a potato base instead of flour and extra butter.  Whoa!
  BROCCOLI CHEDDAR SOUP

• RECIPE (!)

  Gotta check this recipe out.
  Had me at Gooey.  Mozzarella.  Biscuits.
  I’m absolutely thinking serving these little side-kicks with soups, stews or salads would be the bomb-a-reno!
  GOOEY MOZZARELLA BISCUIT BOMBS

• RECIPE (!)

  Apple pie, Apple crisp, Caramel apples …
  But Apple Cobbler?
  New to me.
  Intriguing!
  And the reviews take any doubt out of my mind that this cobbler recipe cannot be anything but outstanding!

• A little pep to add to your Monday morning step.
  These 3 artists make dancing look like it’s a walk in the park.
  Totally smooth dancing/performance operators!
  That — and their super cool attire!
