Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas

Tonight We had Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas!  Unfortunately they were so good, that I forgot to get the camera to snap some pics of it :(  Cause we were all eating them up so quick!

So since I planned ahead I knew that I would have to soak some black beans...no more "I forgot", cause I planned ahead :)  If you know me I am more of a last minute kinda gal!  But I have heard you can freeze cooked beans to use for later...ah but I have the time so no matter.

So today was bread making day! er....Tortilla making day!  I have such a simple easy recipe to make tortillas!  I bet you could make them with what you have in your cupboard right now!  And do what I do and wrap up half the dough and put in the freezer till later!  So handy when you want tortillas at the last minute :)  Just thaw and make!

So this is so simple and easy to make!  Use what you have in the fridge!  Tonight I used...

tomato diced

green onion sliced

cooked black beans

frozen corn

jalapeno pepper

shredded cheddar cheese

Put what you like in a tortilla, fold in half, bake till cheese is melted!

So simple! So yummy!  No extra seasoning required!

Eat it with a side of salad and Enjoy!

For fun I let everyone make there own!  Kids love making there own and it really helps if you have a picky eater!

Dilly Chick Wraps

I was very busy yesterday I achieved non lead bread! And a nice Moussaka!
And today for kids lunches I came up with Dilly Chick Wraps! (I just made up that name)

The Moussaka was a bit dry so I am going to have to tweak my recipe before I share it. But even though it was dry Kaitlyn enjoyed 2 pieces!

Dilly Chicks is my "on no what to make for lunch?" concoction. I was going to make chickpea salad wraps...but Kaitie was I don't want celery, carrots and and all of that. So I had to be creative.

Dilly Chick Wraps

1 cup chickpeas (cooked and cooled)
2tbls mayonnaise
1 dill pickle
2 handfuls shredded cheese
A few lettuce leaves
2 whole wheat wraps

Use a food processor to mix chickpeas, mayo, and a dill pickle.
Spread chickpea mix on a wrap.
Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
Lay lettuce.
Roll it up!
YUM!
