Low Carb Mushroom Beef Enchiladas recipe

I know I usually write about crochet and crafty things but I have recently been trying to learn more about the low carb way of eating.
I have been experimenting with new low carb recipes and today when I got home I just wasn't sure what I wanted for fix for dinner. After scanning the cabinets and the fridge I found Hamburger and mushrooms that needed to be cooked, a can of enchilada sauce, and a bag of low carb tortillas.

With those findings this recipe was born...



First I scrambled about 1 pound of hamburger together with 1 small onion and about 10 baby bella mushrooms sliced.

Once this had started to brown I added about 1/3 of the can of Enchilada sauce and some Adobo seasoning, salt, and pepper and let it all simmer together until done. 

Doesn't that look yummy!!


Then I took my low carb tortillas and put a little cheese in them and some of the beef mixture and rolled them up and placed them in a casserole dish. Poured the rest of the can of Enchilada sauce on top and sprinkled more cheese. I then baked them at 350 for 10 minutes or so until the cheese was melted. 

And this was the End result...


My dish would only hold 4 so I actually ended up using to dishes to make a total of 8. 
 If you like a lot of Enchilada sauce you may want to use to cans as one was only enough to cover the tops of them. 

If you wanted to reduce your carbs even more you could skip the low card tortillas and just layered the other ingredients in a casserole dish and bake.

I was gonna do a picture of one on my plate with some sour cream but by the time they come out of the oven I couldn't stand it anymore and had to try one. I acutally ended up eating two.. I was miserable full but they were so good I couldn't help it! That kind of lack of will power is probably why I need a low carb diet anyway! LOL! 

If you try this please let me know what you think and share any variations you may have made to give the rest of us some ideas.

Crochet plastic bag holder w/ free pattern

I have recently become hooked on making Crochet shopping bag holders. I think most us us have a drawer or a cabinet full of those plastic shopping bags. I would get so aggravated when I open my cabinet and bags start to fall out. So I got to thinking I have ton or yarn why not make something to contain all of these bags. Then I set out to  Pinterest on a mission to find a pattern to make my own. my favorite that I have found so far is by  crochet it creations . I followed the pattern until the end where decided to make it all one piece instead of making the top separate an sewing it on. I did the last row in Triple Crochet an made a chain of around 60 and threaded it through the top like a draw string an then joined it to the beginning to make a loop to hang it with. Find pattern  here I as able to get 3 total out of one skein of Super Saver Ombre. Only 2 were pictured because someone wanted the first one as soon as I finished it! This one is made from that Wa...

Ninja Turtle Crochet pattern

It has been awhile since my last post and I think I am well over due for a FREE PATTERN!!  In 2013 by far hands down my most popular hat was the "Ninja Turtle". I couldn't make them fast enough! It seemed that everyone wanted one and in every size from newborn to adult. I used my favorite basic hat pattern that is my go to foundation for most all of my hats. If you don't have a favorite hat pattern you can find some really great ones on Etsy. The one I use is a simple double crochet beanie hat pattern. Now for the fun pat.... How do I make go from a basic beanie to a Ninja Turtle? Well it is actually quite simple... First I make the first few rows of the hat in a kinda sage green (like a turtle) then I put a strip of about 4 rows in what ever color the customer wanted depending on which Turtle they wanted it to be. For example I would use red, blue, orange, or purple. After completing the 4 color rows (that make the "eye mask") I do 4 more rows of green....

Best Ever Crochet Hat/Beanie Pattern!!

After many request for a hat pattern I decided to come up with my "favorite" which is a combination or patterns I have used over the years and taken my favorite parts from to make "the best ever crochet hat pattern"!! With every pattern I ever tried it seemed that each hat was to short, too long, too big, to small... blah blah blah... For years I have been making beanie hats and adding faces to them and such for gifts, photo props, and everything in-between. After spending money on many patterns and much trial and error I finally came up with the perfect pattern.

I will start with a toddler /small child size since that seems to be the most popular.  With this pattern I used an "I" hook and Worsted Weight yarn. Hobby Lobby's "I Love this Yarn" and Redheart's "With...
