Ballpark/Yearwood Chicken Enchiladas
Trisha Yearwood shared her chicken enchilada recipe with me a few weeks ago, and I’ve made the things multiple times since. OK, I got the recipe off the food network site, but I watched her make them, and she was talking to me as she cooked, so I think we’re buds now. I’ve altered some […]
