First Sock Visits Dodger Stadium

Chicken Enchiladas & Cilantro Tossed Salad

Thanks, Tiffany, for inspiring me to try your yummy chicken enchiladas! By the way, did you know that I had no idea you had called me last night only minutes prior to me calling you? Funny, isn't it, when you're thinking about someone and pick up the phone to call them at the same moment they are calling you? Interesting the way connections work, isn't it? One of those little psychic moments... =)

Yummy Easy Chicken Enchiladas

• Tortillas (I used flour, corn are great, too)
• Leftover roasted chicken (this dish is a great way to use the very last bits left on the carcass)
• Shredded Cheese (I used cheddar and Monterey Jack )
• Cream of Mushroom Soup
• Chili Verde Salsa
• Sour Cream

There are no exact measurements here. I filled a 9-inch square baking dish and there were enough creamy rich enchiladas to satisfy two adults for three meals, served alongside a nice green salad. Shred the chicken and place approximately one tablespoon along an imaginary line drawn down the middle of each tortilla. Place approximately the same amount of cheese on top of the chicken layer. Spoon approximately the same amount of condensed cream of mushroom soup on top of the chicken and cheese layers. Roll up tortillas, placing seam side down, filling the baking dish with a single layer. Spoon remaining mushroom soup on top of the enchiladas. Sprinkle with a small amount of shredded cheese. Pour the Chili Verde Salsa on top of all. Finally, randomly spoon sour cream as the final topping.

It's hot where we live, and I don't turn on the oven unless there is no alternative.. and luckily there is. All ingredients are already cooked, so heating this dish until bubbly and ready to serve is an easy matter in the toaster over. It took only 20 minutes and the toaster generates much less heat in the kitchen.

Last night I paired with a simple green salad of mixed greens, gren leaf lettuce, thinly sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, orange bell pepper, shredded broccoli and topped with Cilantro Pepito Ceasar dressing form El Torito's.

What else is going on?

Building my new business is taking up the majority of my days, but this time last week I took a much needed break to go to the annual Stitch-N-Pitch at Dodger Stadium. This year's gimme was a really cute Dodger baseball cap with "Stitch-N-Pitch" embroidered on the back. =)











Here's little slice of our view! Isn't it fun!?!??



By the way, that's my first sock hanging out at it's first Dodger baseball game.






What an incredibly fun game! (If you're a dodger fan, that is... Colorado Rockies.... sorry, but we really enjoyed your visit to LA. =) There were some truly great plays!




Look at all the happy knitters!







We met some really great ladies from Wildfiber, a really fun yarn shop in Santa Monica, that has a truly fun owner, as well! As a matter of fact, I'm accompanying a friend there next week on a very special mission to purchase yarn for an exciting new project.

Okay, enough cooking and knitting for today. I must get back to work.

Happy Monday everyone!
