Some Of My Doodles and Drawings

As I said in my first post I absolutely love to draw. It takes my mind off of things, relaxes me, and calms my nerves. Of course all the things I like to draw are geeky. From superheroes to movies to video games to comics. I've always doodled when I was bored at school or at home or at work.......

And then I wanted to see if I actually took my time, if I could actually be pretty decent at this. The first couple drawings were not that good but it just took some time.

The bleeding Superman symbol from The Death of Superman

The Batman/Superman symbol (no I am not excited about Ben Affleck) I drew this before the movie was even announced and was still a cartoon that I loved when I was younger.

My niece was a huge fan of Jacob from Twilight. And she loved this!

And like I said, as time went one I really took my time and got better. 

The Keyblade from Kingdom Hearts.

The sparrow tattoo from Captain Jack Sparrow's arm.

The Harry Potter initials, a Golden Snitch, and a wand

I drew this for Allen's 26th birthday. He absolutely loved it!

I drew this for my best friend's boyfriend, Vincent, for his birthday. On the back I wrote "To: The Boy Lived Another Year. From: Your Fellow Gryffindors." He is a Gryffindor like me and Allen on Pottermore. My best friend, Amanda, who is a Hufflepuff just stuck her tongue out at us. Lol!

So I drew this for her for her birthday to make up for it. I framed it and everything. 

And then one of my favorite drawings I have done so far......

This always been my favorite frame from a comic book. Superman's cape after he was murdered by Doomsday. I don't like it because Superman was dead but because of how it made me feel when I saw it on the page for the first time. It shocked me because Superman was dead, the one superhero we thought could never be killed, it just jumped off the page at me. I knew I had to attempt to draw it. I am very happy how it turned out. 

Well enough of this for now. I will save my current work in progress for another post. Hope you enjoyed this post. let me know what you think of the drawings and let me know what your favorite one was. 

Going to finish up my episode of Doctor Who and head to bed. Catch ya later!

Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

Well time for my first recipe post. With me and Allen being on opposing shifts for work it can be hard sometimes to make dinner for both of us. Allen is a night shift 911 dispatcher and has to work 12 hour shifts. So he can get pretty hungry so I try to send something yummy with him. Well tonight I whipped up some simple enchiladas that have become his favorite!

What your going to need:

1 can of Cream of Chicken Soup

1/2 cup sour cream

2 cups of cooked shredded chicken

1 Tablespoon butter

1 can chopped green chilies

1 medium onion chopped

1 bag Monterey Jack Cheese

6-8 large tortillas warmed

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Well since I was throwing this together last minute I didn't have an onion but I used some minced dried onions and onion powder instead.

Ok so first off, you want to melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. While that is melting, you can mix together the sour cream and soup in a medium bowl. Set aside. Add the onion and spices to skillet and cook until onion is tender. Mix in chicken and green chilies and two teaspoons of soup mixture.

Spread 1/2 cup of soup mixture into bottom of a greased casserole pan. 

On a clean surface or cutting board, lay out tortilla and spoon about 1/4 cup of chicken mixture into center. I put some of the cheese on there too but you don't have to.

Our dog, Ollie, likes to stare at me and be my clean up crew if I chance to drop any chicken. Lol!

Roll up tortilla and place in pan seam side down. Continue until all enchiladas are made. I only did 6 but I like to fill mine pretty full but there is enough to make at least 8. 

Spoon soup mixture on top of enchiladas and spread out evenly, all the way to the edges.

Spread cheese over the top

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until bubbly.

You can top with sour cream, guacamole or any of your favorite toppings. I just go with sour cream. Unfortunately I was unable to get these done for Allen to eat before work but was able to send some with him. 

It was actually really funny because I was sitting there eating mine in the living room and I heard him doing something in the kitchen and I turn around and he is eating some of them. Asked him if he was starting on his early but he said that he had eaten half of one from the pan. He really cracks me up. 

Well hopefully you love these enchiladas as much as we do. They are so creamy and delicious. Let me know what you think and any different ways you fix them. 

I'm going to sit back and watch some Doctor Who. Catch ya later!

Have To Start Somewhere

Well here goes! First post on my new blog! So this blog will be about many different things. It will be about my geeky side, recipes I have tried, crafts and my drawings. I am always posting things on my facebook but would like to be able to elaborate and share things with the world. I guess I can start by telling ya'll a little about myself. I'm originally from California but have lived in Colorado too. I moved to Tennessee 4 years ago in June. I currently reside in Gallatin, TN with my fiance Allen. We just got engaged in August! On my birthday none the less. We have been together for almost two years now and it has been an adventure since day one. lol! I am into so many geeky things it is ridiculous. TV shows like Doctor Who (love me some David Tennant), Sherlock (don't even get me started on Benedict, yum), Supernatural, Glee, Merlin, Once Upon A Time, Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, oh I could go on for days! Movies like Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, oh well you get the idea. I love to read! My nose is usually always in a book. And yes I am a gamer girl! You should see me play, man do I get mad when I lose too! lol! I love to draw, I am always doodling either at work or at home. I will have to post some of the drawings that I have done so far, good and bad. And I may not be the best cook in the world but I am always trying new recipes and techniques to get better at it. Allen would tell you that I am one of the best, and I love him for it! Well I think I will wrap it up for now. Be looking for posts from me in the days to come! Thanks for reading all of my rambling on!
