Before heading back to college Thomas requested:
Enchiladas
Tortilla chips and cheese dip (to which he added Chinese siracha hot sauce which jazzed it up!)
Banana pudding
OK, not the healthiest dinner, but hey, the boy's leaving home and I won't see him for quite awhile. He gets what he asks for. His mama was aiming to make him happy.
For the enchiladas, I sauteed onions and yellow and red peppers, added a little mango chipotle sauce, refried beans, a can of chili beans, and some corn. All of that got rolled in flour tortillas and layered with sharp cheddar and enchilada sauce. Very, very colorful, filling, and comfortingly yummy.
And banana pudding...well, it's a southern comfort dessert, I think. Vanilla wafers, vanilla pudding, bananas. Layered. Simple. Also yummy.
Oh, yea, we had organic mixed greens for salad. A little healthy redeeming feature of a meal heavy in cheese and dairy. Oh well, we got lots of calcium....
And Thomas was happy. That was the goal.
