Four ingredients were given and I came up with the following dish, adding items normally found in a stocked pantry. Recipe originally intended for the "I'll Give You Four, You Give Me More" group. http://www.grouprecipes.com/76082/nutty-spinach-saute.html I was in the mood for enchiladas last evening. I am also trying to incorporate more leafy greens into our diet. I took out my old trusty Better Homes and Garden cook book and used their Chicken Enchilada Casserole as a base recipe. I tweaked it to include the spinach and substituted some herbs/seasonings and along with type of cheese. The following recipe is the result. Serve with a side of rice or beans for a complete meal. My whole family really enjoyed their dinner! I hope you enjoy it, too! http://www.grouprecipes.com/75035/spinach-and-chicken-enchiladas.html It's never too soon to be thinking about your Thanksgiving feast! I modified this Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook recipe to suit my particular tastes. I hope you enjoy it.
