The Best Chicken Enchiladas

"We used to get together with about 4 other couples every Thanksgiving to celebrate together, because we couldn't be with our families. It became a 20 year tradition. This is one of the dishes that Jean Smith made for us and became a yearly entree."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am an avid cook, golfer and traveler. I lost my first love in '93 and thought golf would fill the hole in my heart. It did not, but Charlie did. I met him one morning at a local resturant. We started talking, discovered that we were both widowers and had a lot in common (golf, travel, etc). I believe in love at first sight and have had it twice in my lifetime. I had no children by my first husband, but now I have 4 beautiful children and 5 beautiful grandchildren. How lucky can one woman be. We have a home-based travel business, which allows us to travel the globe. We love to cruise and I love to try and recreate the wonderful food served on the ship. I love to bake and desserts are probably what I am best at making. We entertain alot and I love to cook for a crowd.
