PUPPIES!

Our Little Miss Daisy brought 6 brand new babies into the world on Saturday morning.  3 boys and 3 girls and they are just the cutest things.  Parker and Tiff were the standby doctors since Randy is in New York and I am in Alabama.  I just don't know what Randy and I would do without those 2 sweet kids!  We are excited about the babies and I just can't wait to see them....The pics are on my Facebook page.....

Disney World

Randy and I took Beany to Disney World in Orlando the week of April 6.  It was an absolute blast from the time we left the driveway until we returned to the driveway a week later.  We had a great hotel on property and Beany slept in his own bed every night.  We saw everything and did everything that we could and just had such a great time!  We played, watched street parties, drove race cars, got hugs from royalty such as Tigger and Pooh, saw animals, fish, plants, movies, and on and on. I could probably write a book about our trip.  I am so glad that we made that trip, I will never forget the good time we had there, and all the smiles and giggles that came from the beautiful 3 year old curly top angel.  I am still in Alabama, but will post pics when I get back home.

Quesadilla Recipe

Hi All!

I am amazed at the requests for the recipe, and so I decided to post it here.  I am not blogging often as I am working so many long hours, so I haven't had a chance to do it before now.

Easy Chicken-Mushroom Quesadillas

1 tbsp canola oil

1 large onion, chopped

8 oz. fresh, white mushrooms, coarsely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups cooked chicken breast, boneless, skinless, chopped

1 tsp. cumin

1 tsp. chili powder

1 tsp. oregano, dried

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp.pepper

2 cups baby spinach leaves, sliced in ribbons

4 whole wheat tortillas, 10 inch

1 cup mexican cheese, reduced fat, 4 cheese blend, shredded

cooking spray

1/2 cup salsa

1/4 cup reduced fat sour cream (I used fat free)

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add mushrooms and onions and cook until the mushroom water is evaporated and they begin to brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.  Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

Add chicken, cumin, chili powder and oregano and stir until all spices are incorporated.  Add spinach, salt and pepper and cook until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.

Lay one tortilla flat on your work surface and sprinkle with 1/4 cup shredded cheese.  Spoon 1/2 chicken and vegetable mixture on top of the cheese, then add an additional 1/4 cup of cheese. Top with another flour tortilla.  Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray at medium heat.  Carefully place the quesadilla in pan and cook 3 minutes.  Using a large spatula, gently flip the quesadilla over and cook an additional 3 minutes.

Slice each quesadilla in quarters and serve 2 quarters on a plate with salsa and sour cream.

Ladies, this is so good and so healthy.  I got this recipe from Ellie Krieger's website and we have it at least once a week.  You can dress it up with different salsas, add pico de gallo, beans, rice what ever you like.  Let me know how you like it!  Enjoy!
