What I Found At The .99 Store: #Halloween Edition

Halloween is one of our favorite times of the year.  It kicks off the whole Holiday season.  Dia de los Muertos, Turkey Day, Christmas and New Years.  We've checked out the Halloween sections at Party City, Target and Walmart a few times already.  But if you really want to save money, the .99 Only Store is where it's at.

Obviously I didn't buy all of this, just sharing what I found at my local store!
  

48 piece Barbie party favor pack .99!  (I was tempted to buy this for one of those times I might need it)

Another 48 piece party favor pack!  There was a "boy" one too.

1 lb. of Fingerling potatoes and huge packs of Organic salad mix!

That right there is a TWO pound box of strawberries.  One of the employees pointed it out to me, we bought 2!  Never heard of Revolution Foods but those are organic snack bars.

Vintage looking owls!  And that's our cart - only set us back $22!

The Best Chilaquiles In The World...

because my Husband makes 'em special for me!  He knows how much I love 'em and it's a good day when he gets in the kitchen!  I had to beg to share his recipe but it was worth it, his chilaquiles are so good and super easy to make!  Thank you baby!

C's Chilaquiles Ingredients
1 Dozen Corn Tortillas
1 7 3/4 oz. El Pato Yellow Can
1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil

Directions

• Cut a dozen tortillas into quarters (like a pizza)
• Fry tortilla triangles in vegetable oil till crispy
• Drain oil
• Add the whole can of El Pato until all the chips are covered in sauce 
• Simmer and stir for about 2-4 minutes 

That was just the foundation recipe - You can sprinkle with cheese (The picture shows Queso Fresco but you can use any Mexican cheese or shredded cheese) or add eggs or do both.  Chilaquiles are great with a side of beans.  If you want your chilaquiles a little spicier - add chopped, dried red chile peppers after you add the sauce.    

Note:  Only use El Pato brand sauces for maximum flavor!  DO NOT SUBSTITUTE!
