Avocado and the Quesadilla

Posted on

th (38)If you know me ,you have to know how much I love AVOCADOS.

And I hope by now, you also know, what a source of vitamins and antioxidants they provide to our daily health.

I try to eat an avocado everyday, or whenever I can. When I go out to a restaurant if  the ingredient in the dish stats,  avocado,  I will  make that my meal.

When I came across this recipe I was delighted.

YUM!  Avocado Quesadilla’s!   My eyes lite up and I saw this as a great treat for me.

Here is the easy, simple recipe:

Mash half of a avocado with the juice of half a lemon or lime and a pinch of salt.
Melt some butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and place a corn or flour tortilla down in the saucepan.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated cheddar across the surface and cook until it’s melted.
Quickly spread the avocado across one half of the tortilla.
Turn off the heat and fold the tortilla in half, pressing down so the melted cheese glues it together.
Top with salsa.  OLA!

For anyone who is on the ledge about trying avocados this is the recipe that could win you over.

California Here We Come

Posted on

th (36)I am so excited! Excited about going to California.

Paso Robles, Ca to be exact. A city located in San Luis Opispo County.

Why are we going to Paso Robles, you might ask, well, Paso Robles is home to my brother-in-law, John, and my new sister-in-law, Carol.

My husband and I cannot wait to see them.  The last time we went to Paso we had such a great time, pre sister-in-law time.  california last night 029

Excited as I am about heading west, I am also pretty annoyed that I have to get on a plan and fly 5 – 6 hours.  You have no idea how I hate being closed in small spaces, especially for a long period of time.  Last time we flew to California my  knees hurt from sitting  so long, and how I was annoying the passenger sitting next to me because I just kept getting up to go to the bathroom. I won’t apologize for having a bladder issue.  No way!

Anyway back to the good parts of our last trip.  th (37)

In Paso Robles we visited a few wineries.  The best!  We went to a winery called Hunts Cellar and there I bought a bottle of wine that was way over my price limit, but then I was on vacation.

Now we hear that Paso Robles is one of California’s best-kept secrets – from world-class vineyards.

A lot has been happening in Paso since we were there two years ago.  california 062

Now the Brennans will once again jet over, and get to redo, or get to do more than what we did in 2011.  And once again the Brennan boys will be together.  Just being the Brennans Boys.
