Playtime with Mamaw Kat and Pappaw

Since Mamaw Kat and Pappaw came in town to see Caroline's first ballet performance, they stayed for a couple of days to play with the kids. According to Caroline, I was not really needed nor wanted while they were spending time with their grandparents (perhaps so they could get away with a little more), I took the opportunity to run errands. I did, however, happen to catch a few scenes from their playtime with Matt's parents.

There was schooltime upstairs...
riding Pappaw's shoulders...
and getting rocked by Mamaw Kat.While they were visiting, I fixed a few dishes that everyone really liked, so I thought I would share them in case anyone wants to try them out. By doing this, I am by no means saying that I am a good cook. I just know how I love stumbling upon good recipes when I read other people's blog, so I thought I would share one in case anyone is interested.


Chicken-Sour Cream Enchiladas

1 medium onion, chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cups chopped cooked chicken

1 16 ounce carton of sour cream, divided

4 cups of shredded Monterrey Jack cheese, divided

12

1 (16-ounce) carton sour cream, divided

4 cups (16 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided

12 (6-inch) flour tortillas

1 can rotel

1 ¼ cups milk

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour


Saute onion in hot oil over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until tender.

Stir together chicken, ¼ cup sour cream, and 1 ½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Stir in onion. Spoon chicken mixture evenly on one end of each tortilla, and roll up. Arrange, seam side down, in a lightly greased 13x9-inch baking dish.


Whisk together rotel, milk and flour in a saucepan over medium heat; gradually add remaining 2 1/12 cups cheese, stirring constantly, until cheese is melted and mixture is smooth; pour sauce evenly over top of enchiladas. Spread remaining sour cream over sauce.


Bake enchiladas at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly.


I also cooked Paula Deen's French Toast Casserole. It was delicious, but of course loaded with lots of fattening stuff. I should mention that both of these casseroles are super easy and most eveyone likes them...so try them and enjoy!

Anyway, Caroline was thrilled Mamaw Kat and Pappaw came to her little performance, but were even more excited to get to spend some playtime with them too. Come back again soon!

We love that French Toast Casserole! I actually have that on my menu for sale from What's For Dinner?
