The 5oz Foodie

So earlier this week I made "enchiladas" for dinner... The reason I put them in quotes is because our version of enchis are more like chicken burritos with enchilada sauce poured over them and then baked... Well I ran out of the chicken and bean mixture before I got to the final enchilada and so I just stuffed a tortilla with cheese and put it in the end of the pan to make it full... After it was ready, I served Mom and I and I split the cheese one in two so she could try it...

My exhaustion is quickly catching up with me... There is nothing sweeter than to have someone cook for you... My Mom cooks dinner for me most nights and I appreciate it very much...

Even if it doesn't turn out like you want it to, at least you tried your best and that is the thought that counts... Love, peace and what's cooking...
