THE enchiladas

I have nothing against traditional (red sauce) enchiladas. I make and eat those too. It’s just that these are sooo much yummier and it’s one of the first recipes I called my mom for when I moved out on my own. They’re a lot easier than I ever imagined!

Mix: can of cream of chicken soup, [...]

a victorious dish.

It’s fact around here that Jason is ruler of meat dishes. He BBQ’s on a championship level in this family’s opinion. But not just BBQ, but roasted and cooked meats of all kinds. He’s the master.

and, as always there is a little bit left in the chocolate container. Not enough to coat [...]

the chocolate sandwich

It all started when I read queen of babble . In the book, while she is in France she is offered fresh (warm) crusty bread with a chocolate bar on it. A chocolate sandwich. As a confirmed chocoholic and person with a mouth full ‘o “sweet tooth”… I had to test this. As I have tried and enjoyed this truly [...]
