Just call me Martha Stewart

My mom is a great cook. My step-mom is a great cook. All of my grandmothers are/were good cooks. Doesn't that kind of thing run in the family?? Obviously I did not inherit that gene. It's not that I'm a "bad" cook, I just don't seem to have the time to do it and we all know that delicious,creative meals take time.BUT last night I ventured into a new recipe and it was a hit.

Chicken, Black Bean and Corn Enchiladas

Maybe it's not that far of a stretch, but it turned out well, so I am taking full credit for it.
