I feel like I should sing and dance all day long today. It’s fall, y’all! Happy season of comfort food and casseroles, my friends! All the foods, all the wonderful comfort foods that are too heavy or hot to eat in the summer months are BACK. Like creamy things. Enchilada-y things. Chicken enchiladas, to be exact. Serve these with some black beans and rice, and you’ve got a grand slam dinner! PLUS, you can make it ahead of time. Or make 2, freeze one, eat the other for dinner. Cook once, eat twice, and make this mama happy happy happy!
