4. Have you ever been in a road traffic accident (either as a driver, pedestrian or on a bike)?

I have never been in one. Ever. Hubby has been in two. My kids were in them a couple of times, but I was spared. It's sort of weird that I never have. I shouldn't be whining about it, and just be grateful. Right?

Things I Believe In.

I believe in my husband, after all, I've been with him for 57 years. Same with our children. I believe in family and loving them, no matter what.

I believe in democracy, although I see none of it now. I can hardly sleep at night. I hate the country right now.

I believe in kindness, and think we need more of it. I believe in love, I believe in forgiveness, sometimes, I believe in justice, I believe in fairness, tenderness, and goodwill towards most people. There is one man I could never forgive and don't expect justice for. The rich are immune.

I'm finally done. What do you believe in?

1. If you had $100,000 magically appear in your bank account, how would you spend it?

We'd pay off anything we owe, fix different things in the house and share some with family. The rest would go into savings.

What about you?

🌮 Cream Cheese "White" Chicken Enchiladas 🧀
If you’ve never had White Enchiladas, you are missing out! 😱 Instead of red tomato sauce, these are smothered in a rich, buttery Cream Cheese & Green Chile sauce.
They are so creamy they practically melt in your mouth. Guaranteed to be a new family favorite!
🛒 Ingredients:
8–10 Flour Tortillas (soft taco size)
3 cups Cooked Chicken, shredded (Rotisserie works great!)
1 block (8 oz) Cream Cheese, softened (Divide this: cut in half!)
2 cups Mexican Blend Cheese, shredded (Divided)
1 can (4 oz) Diced Green Chiles (mild)
2 cups Chicken Broth
3 tbsp Butter
3 tbsp Flour
Seasoning: 1 tbsp Lemon Juice, 1 tsp Cumin, ½ tsp Chili Powder, Salt & Pepper.
Garnish: Fresh Cilantro
👩‍🍳 Instructions:
The Filling: In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, half of the cream cheese, 1 cup of shredded cheese, lemon juice, cumin, and chili powder. Stir until combined.
Roll: Spoon the mixture into the tortillas, roll them up tightly, and place them seam-side down in a greased 9x13 baking dish.
The "White Sauce":
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and the can of green chiles (juice and all). Simmer until it thickens slightly.
Add the remaining half of the cream cheese and whisk until it melts into a smooth, creamy sauce.
Smother & Bake: Pour that delicious white sauce all over the enchiladas. Top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.
Bake: Bake at 350°F for 23–25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serve: Let them rest for 10 minutes (so the sauce sets) and top with fresh cilantro!
