Sunday Supper Mexican Lasagna
Saturday, September 8, 2012 at 08:04PM
We're back from Houston...just a few more details and we will have completed the install of what started out as an online design job of a family and breakfast room...
The project grew...our client jumped into our design aesthetic hook, line, and sinker... a big part of that aesthetic is unique found objects, antiques and accessories... we ground these with functional modern furniture... our own shop is filled with so many of the unique things, so after a LOT of hunting and gathering from our favorite resources... it just made sense to load the truck and head her way to put it all together...
We left Little Rock at 5:00 AM and arrived at our clients home at 1:30PM...Only one stop for gas and a potty break...
The three of us worked non-stop until 7:30PM...installing draperies...hanging art...and putting everything in it's place...
The only thing in the family and breakfast room when we arrived was this sofa less the pillows...
Just a sneek peak from my i-phone...we will do a full before and after post when a lantern arrives and is installed and just a few more details are complete...
We got up the next morning and went back to the house to discuss a few things and take pics of the living room, dining room, and foyer...that's the next project...
Before we left town,we also visited one of our clients good friends, who has now hired us to do some work for her ...she has a lovely home and we are excited to get started on the project...
But it's Sunday...and we've got Supper to talk about...

I pinned this wonderful recipe from Mogwai Soup last week...
Enchilada Lasagna
Ingredients:
2 tbsp of vegetable oil
1 lbs chicken breast, chopped to bite size pieces
5 cups of mexican blend cheese
1 can of cream of celery soup
1 can of cream of chicken soup
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1/4 cup canned chopped green chillies (drained)
small corn tortillas
1 tsp cumin
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Directions:
Brown chicken in a pan in 2 tbsp of oil. Season with salt and pepper. In a bowl combine cream of celery soup, cream of chicken soup, sour cream and green chillies. Prepare a bowl of water that you will dip your corn tortillas in, and the dish you will assemble the lasagna in. Put 1/2 cup of cream mix on the bottom of the baking dish and spread. Layer a row of tortillas followed with cream mix, chicken and cheese. You should be able to make 3 layers like this. Last layer doesn't need chicken, just a ton of cheese. That is the best part!
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and let it bake for about 20 minutes or until cheese is nice and melted and golden brown on top...
Yum! Yum!
The weather is awesome...let's eat outside...
It's your turn. Let's talk!

Mona I can't wait to see what you and sister have done for your online client! Sounds like a lot of fun traveling down and finally meeting her although I would have had to stop more then once. The lasagna sounds delicious and I'll have to save this recipe for when it cools down a bit more. Enjoy your Sunday!

I cannot wait to hear about your new project!! Sounds exciting and I love this recipe.......will absolutely have to try it!
I love, Love, LOVE this post! My favorite part is the quote at the end. I am lucky enough that I (finally) married my first love (well, at least beyond my parents). Mike and I fell in love in the 1970s when we were in high school. Life and all the intricacies of living caused us to drift apart, marry somebody else, raise families, and find ourselves single again thirty-plus years later. So, my first love is also my last. How lucky is that? :)
Sounds & looks like you had a good time- how is that possible :) ? No, really I also love what I do and am also
working with a lady in Houston. We met as a result of my Darling's cancer treatments and actually stay in
her lovely home just down from the hospital... and since we are so blessed to stay with her, when she started
talking about her home at Lake Livingston, I offered to help.( She's a nurse, so designing was out of her comfort zone )
It's a challenge long distance, but a little here and there and we will be finishing up in October.
Have a lovely Sunday ! Looking forward to seeing the finished results- great looking home !

I am on pins and needles to see the finished product! My son is an interior designer in Fort Lauderdale and has a ton of talent too. He, too, LOVES his work. I was a floral designer and also loved my work. That sure helps ALOT! XO, Pinky
Mona, congrats on all the design business. It looks wonderful.
Y'all are just too amazing! I can't believe you did all of that in one day!
I am making this recipe this week. It is at the front of the list.
Happy Monday.
