Chicken Enchiladas and the Sandwich Addict.

I made the most amazing Chicken Enchiladas for dinner last night. Sam the Cooking Guy's Chicken Enchiladas. They rocked. They were easy and cheesy and sort of spicy, but mostly just good. The husband and I devoured them with some salsa verde and regular salsa on the side. And yeah, as Sam says, there's 2 cups of heavy cream in this recipe, just don't eat the whole pan yourself. We had a ton leftover and I knew I would give some to the girls for lunch today. Or, I would at least try. For the most part, the girls eat almost anything and everything that's put in front of them. I'm lucky, I know this. Here's how lunch went down this afternoon....

(not entirely sure)

("Um, can I have a sandwich, please.")

("SANDWICH!" - I'm scared of her too)

(that's what I'm talkin' about)

(ahhhhhh..)

Meanwhile....

(sour cream!!)

(this is the life!)

(enough with the pics, ok?)

And then, this happens. Everyday :)

These chicks are awesome.

Sam the Cooking Guy has a ton of great recipes that I love and make regularly. Check out his Barbequed Shrimp (no bbq required) and his Bruschetta, two of my favorites.
