Monday's are always a drag....

Well apparently it was Mexican fiesta day for me and I FINALLY feel better. YAY! I didn't get much of a chance to work out last week because of my energy level so I feel a bit behind, but I'm not going to jump back into it quite yet either. I don't want to fall back into being sick again by working out too hard too fast. Man, I sound lazy. haha. But I must say that the lunch recipe was a good find. Nice work, Sheri! I posted the recipe below.

Cheesy Quesadillas

• 2 cups (8 oz) finely shredded 50% reduced-fat Cheddar Cheese with jalapeno peppers (such as cabot)
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 4 (8 inch) flour tortillas (i would get the light ones, 90 calories or less)
• salsa (optional)
• 1. Combine first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl, set aside.
• 2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat 1 side of each tortilla with cooking spray, place tortilla, coated side down in pan, top with 1/2 cup cheese mixture, fold tortilla in half, cook 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn quesadilla, cook 2 minutes or until lightly browned, pressing down on quesadilla with spatula to flatten as it cooks. Remove from pan, keep warm. repeat with remaining tortillas and cheese mixture. cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges, and serve with salsa if desired.

I have to say that I was really nervous about them, but we're both still alive and neither one of us got sick so I think we're good! :) haha It was a great recipe and very easy to make. Even though it was a great quesadilla, my favorite part of the day was the new tea that Sheri bought. I want to make it into a scented candle!!
