Sunday cooking

... with salsa verde and more cheddar, yummy!) I only used half the chicken I bought for the enchiladas, so I decided to use the rest to make chicken salad for lunch (I combined chicken, some sliced calamata olives, dill relish, and cubed red delicious apples with some fat free mayo, yummy!). None of these dishes was hard to make, but I spent a lot of time yesterday chopping stuff. But still, I ...
