Mom Made Chipotle Chicken Enchiladas
I'm heading to New York in a few days to attend the BlogHer conference, and although my husband can whip up a quick pasta, and has the local pizza place on speed dial, I like to make sure there are snacks, staple items, and a few other meal options available whenever I'm out of town.
We normally have Mexican food one night a week and the little kids love cheese quesadillas, but I wanted to have something ready for the others to enjoy too, so I made enchiladas.
I want to share the recipe first, and then I have a few tips for freezing dishes.

The Living Coast Discovery Center
A few years ago I wrote a post about the Chula Vista Nature Center. The twins were about 18 months at the time ... wow time has flown by, I can't believe they'll be 6 in a couple of months.
Anyway, three days this week they attended Shark Bites summer camp at the same location. Only it's no longer called the Chula Vista Nature Center, it's now the Living Coast Discovery Center. It's still just as amazing as it was back then, and although the kids couldn't remember having been there before, after the first day of camp I showed them the photos and they were amazed that they were seeing some of the same things.
The camp was beyond fabulous, they experienced so much during the three afternoons they were there. I've got a few photos to share, but here's a short summary of what they did during camp:
- Hand fed stingrays
- Touched marine life such as horn sharks, sea stars, horn shark eggs, rays, and a sea urchin
- Did lots of arts and crafts
- Collected plankton to view under a microscope
- Played games
- Watched sharks being fed
- Learned all about the sea life and food chain.
- Dissected a fish
- Took a behind the scenes tour and even saw a baby octopus
