Enchiladas Suiza and Pear Soup

Egg and toast for breakfast again!  Had some light cran grape juice too.

Forgot to have lunch... naughty me...

Made Enchiladas Suiza for dinner.  Followed this recipe from epicurious: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Enchiladas-Suizas-235502

Replaced non-fat and low calorie things where I could, so my calorie count was lower than theirs.  I also used Cotija cheese instead of Monterrey Jack. Further, I made five servings instead of four.  Good stuff but I think next time I won't mix the cheese into the sauce and instead put it on top like the recipe advised. 

I know the pictures kind of bad... but paired with my enchiladas is a lovely bowl of poached pear soup.  Recipe follows.

·  5 pears, diced

·  3 cups sweet white wine

·  ½ cup Triple Sec

·  ½ cup syrup from canned pears or grape juice

·  splash of lemon-lime soda

·  mint leaves

Put the pears, orange liqueur, and wine in a soup pot and bring to a boil.  Once the wine is boiling, lower the heat to medium and gently poach the pears uncovered until the wine has almost completely evaporated.  Once there is only about a 1/4 cup or 1/2 cup of wine left, put the pears and wine in a food processor and puree.  Then turn the food processor on and slowly drizzle in the syrup or juice until the soup has reached the consistency you want. Chill in the refrigerator.  Right before serving, add a splash of lemon-lime soda (I used a diet soda), top with mint.  You could chop the mint leaves if you wish because they taste wonderful with the soup.
