Drums

A few Saturday's ago Jon and I babysat our little friends Hailey, Justin and Sydney Herr. We were also having company over that night so I was busy in the kitchen for a lot of the time preparing dinner and dessert. This left Jon to be the one watching the kids most the time so he got them started playing rock band. They all loved it. All three of them took turns playing the drums but Justin was by far most excited and interested in it. He was hallarious to watch too. Here's pictures of Hailey and Sydney and then a video of Justin. The faces he makes still make be laugh and I've watched it a lot. :)








Chicken Enchiladas

I know, I know, everyone is waiting for pictures from the cruise...sorry! You'll have to wait just a little longer. I've got about 3,000 pictures to sort through and pick from and I've been keeping busy, so I haven't gotten a chance yet. I will though, I promise.

For now, here's a yummy recipe for you to experiment with. Jon said to say he REALLY likes this meal :)

Chicken Enchiladas

INGREDIENTS
~ 2 cups shredded, cooked chicken
~ 1 can cream of chicken soup
~ 1/2 cup sour cream
~ 2 Tbsp. butter
~ 1/2 cup chopped onions
~ 1 tsp. Chili powder
~ 1 can (4oz) chopped green chilis
~ 8 flour tortillas
~ 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. In small bowl stir soup and sour cream until well blended.

3. In 2 quart sauce pan over medium-heat, melt butter and cook onions with chili powder until onions are tender, stirring often. Stir in chicken, chilis and 2 tablespoons of the soup mixture. Remove from heat.

4. Spread about 1/4 cup of chicken mixture along center of each tortilla. Fold sides over filling and place seam-side-down in greased 9x13 baking dish. Spread remaining soup mixture over enchiladas. Cover with foil and bake 15 minutes.

5. Sprinkle cheese on top and bake uncovered an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

I serve my enchiladas with a side of Spanish rice which I make from a quick and easy Lipton or Rice-A-Roni packet. In the picture the red decor on the food is Jon's hot sauce - which he adds to everything he eats.
