le sigh. last week's quiz results- not encouraging.
the enchiladas were delicious though, and continue to be, as i made a 9x13 casserole dish full of them. they were dinner saturday, lunch and dinner sunday, and will continue to be dinner until they're gone. it was a good idea to add my can of chipoltle peppers- it added a smokey heat and made up ( Read more... )
