Why am I doing this?

Hello everyone or no one... ... I have started this blog as a sort of diary. I haven't been all that happy with my physical self as of late and am beginning to remedy these feelings. I thought that this might be a good place to go when I have things to say and no one to really say them to. So enjoy, laugh at, or relate to all that is to follow. Andi

Chicken Enchiladas.... Stuffed after this meal.

Fantastic meal... with the recommended serving of 2 enchiladas you'll be very satisfied.  A little sour cream on the side was all I added to this one.  There is a suggestion of rice on the side, but if you do... don't eat 2... you'll be sick full then.  It's 3 hours later and I am STILL feeling a full belly.
