Chicken Tamale Casserole
As you know I just got back from NYC for the first time. Here’s what I loved about it; I felt the city on the whole was driven, vibrant…everyone seemed like they were on their way to something important and life changing.
I’m sure that pace can get tiring after a while, but for the four days I was there I appreciated it.
