Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas
I did not put the onions in this batch, since my stomach doesn't like them. You can change up the cheeses to suit what you like, these make a great combo.
Next I made the roux.
I added the sour cream and green chilies to the roux and poured it over the tortillas. Added the remaining cheese and baked it at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Yummy!

Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas
Ingredients:
1 lb shredded chicken breast(can used a roasted chicken)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 flour tortillas, softened (8 inches each)
1 1/2 cups grated monterey jack cheese or 1 1/2 cups Mexican blend cheese, divided
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1 (15 ounce) can chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
Directions:
1. In frypan, cook onion in oil over medium-high heat until golden. Add shredded chicken and heat through.
2. Divide cooked chicken evenly between 8 tortillas; add 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese to each tortilla.
3. Roll enchiladas and place seam-side down in 9x13" baking dish that has been lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
4. Melt butter in a medium saucepan; stir in flour to make a roux; stir and cook until bubbly; gradually whisk in chicken broth then bring to boiling, stirring frequently.
5. Remove from heat; stir in sour cream and green chiles; pour sauce evenly over enchiladas.
6. Top with remaining 3/4 cup cheese (baking dish may be double-wrapped and frozen at this point) and bake at 400F for 20 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce near edges of baking dish is bubbly.
I hope you enjoy this as much as we did.
Operation Smile and Campus Book Rentals
As you may already know I am a retired college professor and between my husband and I we have 6 college graduates and several grandchildren who are nearing college age. As a parent and professor I was constantly reminded of the huge cost that students incur when buying their text books. If any of you are parents or even students, I’m sure you can relate. Well, for a nominal advertising fee I have been asked to endorse a program being offered by CampusBookRentals and I have agreed. This post was written by me and all opinions are 100% mine.
While they have an excellent web site and there are great advantages to renting from them;
-save 40-90% off of bookstore prices
-free shipping both ways,
-can highlight in the textbooks,
-flexible renting periods,
I want to focus on two items of note. The first and very important is that they partner with Operation Smile.

Broken washing machine, means new floor!
The new washing machine couldn't be delivered until Wednesday night. We had put down Brazilian Cherry re-engineered flooring in the great room and into the kitchen. We stopped where the kitchen meets the laundry. It has been that way for 2 years.
Here's the new floor. The dogs seem to like it. This is their area since I feed them here and their water bowl is here.

Some Red Color in the Cold
Before the cold hit last night, I was outside with the dogs and saw this bit of red calling to me. As I got closer, I realized that these plants were blooming. It was so pretty that I thought I would send a little brightness to everyone who is trying to keep warm.

Christmas and Movies!
In just a few days, Christmas will be here. It is hard to believe, but true. Are you a movie goer? I was just reading that Christmas Day has become a big day in the movie industry. Many studios like to release big-budget films on December 25th.
According to Box Office Mojo, an online movie publication and box office reporting service, no film has fared better on Christmas Day than "Sherlock Holmes," which premiered on December 25, 2009, earning just under $25 million in its initial day onscreen.

We always do some sort of craft when she and her friends come over.
On Saturday, they were coming over to work on Christmas presents for their moms. She brought me this candy cane wreath that she had made. She is nine. What a lovely surprise.

Holiday Mason Jars
There were three boxes of mason jars. Needless to say, I was on them immediately. She had them priced at $5 per box. I am not sure how many were in each box - somewhere between 10 - 14 each. Some were large, but most of them were the small ones and all had their lids, like the ones in my picture below.
She saw me looking at them and said, "you can have all of them for $5". I tried not to fall over and grabbed them up before anyone else did. Since there was only one other person there, I was pretty safe.

Love Cyrstal Chandeliers - Hate to Clean Them
Someone posted awhile back about how to clean crystal chandeliers, but I forgot to save it so that was out.
It is rather overcast today so I had the lights on.

Dressing Up Grandma's Cutting Board
When the dogs were little, I taught them to ring a bell, tied to the door handle, when they had to go to the bathroom. Well, that bell was ringing off the handle. Every time I would lie down on the sofa, the bell would ring. After a few days, the bell came down.
I did manage to work on this cutting board that was my grandma-in-law's.

Orange Metal Stand - What to do with iit?
Not sure what this was. Seems like something you might find in a service station that holds some car parts.
Found it in the trash and decided to take it home, since I can't seem to leave perfectly good items go in the trash. Now that I have it, I have no idea what to do with this bright orange thing. Any ideas ????
