We cannot believe how much Chez Us has evolved. It is so much fun to look back and see how the site has grown. Not to mention all the fantastic readers we have, who comment and share the same passion! The relationships are really amazing and we talk about this often over at Chez Us. If it was not for the love of eating, cooking, drinking, and food, none of us would have ever met! We thank you for being here and sharing your lives with us!
We decided on our first Blogiversary (we had more time then and even had a video to show you how) to recreate the original meal we had at the very beginning, which was Vegetarian Enchiladas washed down with Blood Orange Margaritas. This year we decided to change it around a bit by making Chicken Enchiladas. The recipe I use is really fantastic – chicken thighs (they have more flavor) that have been poached with bay leaves and garlic and then combined with lots of sour cream, mild green chilies, and cheddar cheese, finally smothered with a chipotle pepper sauce. We served them with Spanish Rice and re-fried pinto beans, which I spice up with mild chilies, lime juice, and cheese. A birthday celebration would not be a celebration without our famous Blood Orange Margaritas!
Here’s to another great year – we have some fun things planned and look forward to you being a part of it all! We will be making/adding a BIG announcement to this post in a day or two!! It is BIG & FUN!
Happy Birthday and keep up with the great work!
Cheers,

YUM! I am so hungry for enchiladas and margaritas now and its only breakfast time… Haha! Happy “Birthday”!
A very happy birthday to you! Wish I could get my hands on some blood oranges to try that margarita. Yum!
Happy Birthday! Looking forward to another year of fun and inspiration!
congrats! Great way to celebrate… those look both beautiful and yummy!
Happy Birthday! You guys are AWESOME!
Happy Anniversary…I’m a few months shy of my 1 year. It’s amazing how fast the time passes in the blogosphere.
Aliseo Foods makes 100% Fresh Squeezed Blood Orange juice all year round! It comes in a 1 liter carton and has no added sugar, very refreshing. I have actually used it to make margaritas (I live in Texas!) and it is so much easier than squeezing the fruit.
Congratulations and keep it up! And good luck with your move.
Oh, those are gorgeous! And the enchiladas–I think I’ll have to try both versions, for sure.
Happy Blogiversary! I’ve only known you guys a short time, but I know your blog is gorgeous and well written. So here’s to many more years!
