Recipes #3 & #4 of February Challenge

Yes, I'm posting about my February challenge & it's almost April.  I'm a little behind!  But at least I'm finally getting around to it...

For my third week of the challenge, I tried Chicken Enchilada Verdes, which was recommended by my friend Katie.
I used rotisserie chicken to make it even easier (another recommendation from Katie).  The salsa verde I bought ended up having a lot of kick to it, but Michael & I both like spicy food.  I also used corn tortillas because I already had some & I prefer corn to flour for enchiladas.  They worked fine.  The dish was yummy & I'd make it again.  I might use a little less sour cream in the sauce but that's just a personal preference.  Thanks for the recipe, Katie!

For my fourth week, I was going to make Croissant French Toast.
Can't go wrong with The Pioneer Woman!  But Michael bought croissant dough at the store instead of croissants from the bakery.  I didn't think the Pillsbury croissants would work as well, so I didn't end up this recipe.  Boo on me.  I did make some Rice Krispie Treats.
These have cut up pieces of angel food cake in them.  I didn't end up putting whipped cream or strawberries on them because I was lazy & honestly, I love Rice Krispie treats enough on their own.  I also love angel food cake.  I seriously almost ate the whole batch.  I will be making these again.  And maybe next time I'll get some cream & berries on them before I eat them all!

I did pretty well on the no fried food portion of my challenge.  I ate fries once at the very end of the month - Michael forgot I wasn't eating fried food & brought them home.  They had candied bacon & this delicious sauce on them.  I couldn't resist!

As for March?  Let's just say I guess I decided to take March off.  I once again waited until the last minute to figure out my plan & then got busy with work & life.  But I am going to get my act together this week & get ready for April!  I've already decided no Coke or soda for my health challenge.  Now for my personal challenge...  I'm considering the photography challenge, gratitude list or maybe a yoga challenge.  I'll try to post as soon as I've decided, though, to make myself accountable!
