Lawrence, KS on Design Sponge

Way to represent, Lawrence. What a fun town to feature in Design Sponge's City Guide section.

Check out graphic designer, Lauren Grieb's guide to Lawrence, Kansas.

She even touches on KU's campus area! Rock Chalk!

My favorite part:

The Wheel

If you’re looking for an authentic KU drinking establishment, then you’ve met your match. As the closest bar to campus, even KU Alumni in their 80s still frequent this watering hole – a student tradition since the 1950s. (Try the pizza too!)

Chicken Enchilada Rice Bake

mmmm mmmm this is a delicious, and fairly easy dish! We made it for a Mexican dinner that we had and it was a great twist on regular enchiladas. It made for great left-overs too! I found the recipe at picky-palate.com, a great site if you are looking for some new ideas.

 Ingredients:

2 cups white long grain rice

2 1/2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (I used a rotisserie chicken)

One 15 oz can mild green enchilada sauce

One 4 oz can sliced black olives

One 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes

1/2 c sour cream

1 tsp kosher salt

1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 tsp roasted ground cumin

One 15 oz can of black beans, drained and rinsed

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
