WEEK 13 - Chicken Enchilada Suizas

I've made regular enchiladas before, with the red sauce, but never suizas. I love them when I try them in Mexican restaurants though, so I'm hoping I can make this dish right and do the flavors justice!

MONTH 1 - 3

I have not been good about keeping up on this blog lately. My apologies. Hence, I have not posted my monthly blog events publicly. Although I am still crazy busy and out and about all the time, I've had much more secluded events with different groups of friends. I doubt anyone still reads this thing, and I don't even know if I should keep up for the readers' sake. I think for my own sake I want to keep up because it's like an online diary (censored for the public eye.) If anyone is out there, still reading every week like you used to, please leave a comment. I just want to know what your thoughts are. I want to write a book still but being a Sagittarius, I tend to dream too big to achieve everything I endeavor to do. But at least I have aspirations and gusto to fall back on.

Just to fill you in, here are the events I had planned for Months 1 - 3 (Jan, Feb, Mar).

MONTH 1: Girls' Night - Vision Boards and Animal Totem Cards
MONTH 2: Super Bowl - Packers v. Steelers
MONTH 3: Mardi Gras Potluck at Moonscoop
