I had a suitcase full of someone else’s dishes fall out of the back of my car! I was returning them to their owner after an event at our church. Had to order 3 to replace the ones that were broken. My favorite easy meal to take to folks is White Chicken Enchiladas. In fact, I’m taking them to a friend Tuesday. (https://www.joyfulmommaskitchen.com/white-chicken-enchiladas/) I use rotisserie chicken. The recipe calls for flour taco shells, but it’s supposed to be flour tortillas.
