You guys. They want dinner every night. Every. Single. Night.UUUGGGHHHH. I plan and I buy all the ingredients. I have all the recipes on hand. But some days, I just want to throw in the towel! You know, the days when the kids decided that every toy needed to come out and into the entire living room, mount “laundry-more” is higher than the washing machine, and all you feel like doing is hibernating until winter is over. Welcome to my world! Life was so much simpler when I could just walk into the kitchen, make myself something to eat, and then sit right down and eat it. Not nearly as wonderful, but so SO much simpler.Sigh. These enchiladas, though. Send the kids to their room or, better yet, sit them in front of Curious George on Netflix, whatever you need to do to clear the kitchen so you can make these enchiladas. If dinner is going to be a stress and a hassle every. single. night. at least you get these amazing enchiladas, am I right?! 😉 It’s a long list of ingredients, but it’s mainly seasonings and I can assure you.
