What's for Dinner?


Ok so I did this meal on Sunday but it was so good that I thought I would share it with you tonight. We had our BFF's over or as I like to call them my guinea pigs.. I love to make new dishes and then make them and DH eat them. So these enchiliadas are something that I saw over at Pioneer Woman oh I just love her Blog she is a hoot. So enjoy because they are really great!

Pour in other red sauce, chicken broth, salt, and pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 30 to 45 minutes.
