OMG food. Rich and creamy goodness..
It’s a well know fact that I love Mexican food. Mainly I feed my taco addiction but once in awhile I need something a little different and in this case I needed to feed a few others as well, so portobello mushroom & chicken enchiladas was made. This is my favorite way to eat enchiladas and have been making them this way for years. I love how the cream cheese and the mushrooms transform these into something that you really won’t find at any restaurant! Perfect for feeding a crowd and easy because you make them with a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store! Go ahead and give them a try! Delish..
This weekend ended up being pretty darn fun. Two of my oldest friends came in town from Chicago for a boys weekend to play golf with some of their buddies. I was invited to come and watch the Blackhawks game and play a little poker! I have always been “one of the guys” and this was no exception. It’s been a few years since I have seen them but it felt just like yesterday that we saw each other. I love that! I will say though, it’s pretty darn funny watching die hard Blackhawks fans in action. Lot’s of pacing before the game, nervousness, cocktails, baseball caps on backwards and standing in front of the TV. I think this made me laugh the most. They were all huddled up and didn’t move until a commercial, then they would pour another drink and then right back to the exact position that they were standing in before. No one sat down during the entire game, including me. When in Rome, I guess! I’m so happy that they won because if they didn’t chaos may have ensued for sure! After the game, we proceeded to play a few rounds of poker. I won some money (yeah) but other than that the night became a bit of a blur and today was a little slow! LOL! Anyway, the sign of a fun night out with the guys! I miss them already!
