However, her youngest son, who was supposed to house sit for someone else, has been here off and on throughout the week. On Wednesday, I wasn't expecting him when I came home from doing some… Continue reading Spaghetti with a Kick

Enchiladas Revisited
In honor of Umi's birthday today, I'm re-sharing the recipe for my chicken & cheese enchiladas because it's Umi's favorite dish. Although, rather than making that for her birthday dinner tonight, she's requested the Applebottom Pork Chops. Watch out, my dear enchiladas, you may have been replaced! Furthermore, yesterday was Cinco de Mayo, so this… Continue reading Enchiladas Revisited
