Add a side of Spanish rice and you're ready to eat

One of our staff members is lucky enough to be married to a retired fireman. During his time at the fire station, all of the firefighters would take turns making dinner for each other. His favorite recipe, dubbed “Station 22 Chicken Enchiladas” is now a favorite in their home.

Ingredients:
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 15oz. can mild enchilada sauce
2 8oz. cans mild diced green chilies
2 8oz. cans sliced black olives
2  roma tomatoes diced
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
5 large flour Tortillas
1 bunch of green onions chopped
sour cream and salsa as a garnish

Ready to go into the oven!

Instructions:
• Put chicken in a large pot, cover with water, cook at a soft boil for 1 hr.
• Drain hot water and cool chicken with cold water.
• Shred chicken meat by hand into bite size pieces in a large mixing bowl.
• Add 1 can of green chilies, 1 ½ cans of black olives, ½ of the diced tomatoes, 1 ½  cups of shredded cheddar cheese, ½  of the green onions chopped. Mix well.
• Fill tortillas with the chicken mixture so they can easily be rolled up and placed close together in 9”x 13” baking pan.
• Pour 1 can of enchilada sauce over all of the enchiladas in the pan, sprinkle remaining:  shredded cheddar cheese, green chilies, sliced olives, diced tomatoes and chopped green onions.

• Cover pan with foil, bake at 350° for 1-1 ½ hrs.

My husband Ben and I are busy people. We both work full-time, and when Friday evening rolls around, we enjoy spending our free time with friends and family. That’s why it’s no surprise that during the weekend, there’s no time to clean our house before we’re back at the office.

Recently, Ben came up with a great idea to make our home a priority: Clean one room in the house, once a month.

The idea is to pick one room in the house (bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, etc.) and clean it from top to bottom for one day of the month. This includes moving furniture and dusting, wiping, vacuuming, and anything else you can think of to deep clean the room. It’s also a chance to decide whether or not you want to redecorate or reorganize the space.

By making each room a priority, it reminds us to appreciate our beautiful home.

We decided our “clean day” in January would be Sunday, since most fun events on the weekends are usually Friday and Saturday nights. Once we decided on a day, we stuck to it—even if we received a tempting last-minute brunch invitation.

Last month we focused on the bedroom and started cleaning the bedroom closet, and worked our way to the master bathroom. We went through our closet and pulled out piles of clothes we didn’t wear anymore. We made one pile for donation, and another to give away to friends and family who we thought might like them.  We washed our sheets, dusted end tables, cleaned the windows, and vacuumed the carpets.

That night, it felt good to know our bedroom was now a clutter-free, peaceful retreat. And guess what—we even had time to go to dinner with friends!
