Todd & Monica were coming back to Las Vegas from a honeymoon in England, Scotland, Wales and France. Wow. Todd’s Mom, Teri, has been busy cleaning their house, buying new linens and generally making their homecoming an easy one.
The Newlyweds
I kept telling her what a good Mom/Mother-In-Law she was and when she told me the day they were returning—I thought about what I could do to help Teri ease their transition back home.
Enchilada Line-Up
Of course my thoughts turn to food, so I thought about making dinner for them to store in the refrigerator.
Monica loves coconut and I found a great recipe for coconut bread. Bread that they can keep on hand to toast and have for breakfast or snack.

I can imagine that if you are suffering from any kind of jet lag—a fresh fruit salad would be welcome—especially in the summertime when fruits are so ripe.
Everyone love Creamy Chicken Enchiladas with Green Chile Salsa and the Enchiladas can happily sit for a few days in the refrigerator until baking. Also, the leftovers are wonderful.
Ready to Bake
To go with the Enchiladas, I had to include a container of Frozen Strawberry Margaritas since I found some really sweet strawberries at the market.

Margarita Fixin's
I also put in a container of guacamole to eat along with the Enchiladas and our newlyweds had their dinner.
Teri let me into their house the day before Todd & Monica were to return and I put everything in the appropriate place.
Then, Teri & I left content with the knowledge that the honeymooners would have a well-fed homecoming in a clean & pretty home.
