Tex-Mex Bake

Not really surprised, because she's that awesome, but you know what I mean. Jenny is the Jenny from Picky Palate. I adore that girl and her site. This recipe is one of her family's favorites, and I can see why. So delicious. It reminds me of chicken enchiladas, only not rolled up. My picky eaters even liked it. … [Read more...]

Did you get that these are easy to make? Plus the kids … [Read more...]
