10 Minute Black Bean & Corn Quesadillas

Lately i'm all about super quick dinners for the week. After a long day of work, no one really wants to slave in kitchen for another hour making a delicious meal. 

 But i still am not a fan of quick dinners with absolutely no flavor - this dinner is so quick, filling & delicious. 
Ingredients:
-1 (15oz) Can Black Beans, rinsed & drained
-1 Cup Corn
-1/3 Cup Salsa (i used Guacamole Salsa, but you can use whatever flavor you'd like)
-2t Taco Seasoning
-1/4 Cup Cilantro or Green Onion (optional)
-1 Cup Shredded Cheese (your choice, i used Colby Jack)
-Tortillas (i used Spinach, but again, your choice)

Directions:
-In a medium bowl, mix together beans, corn, salsa, taco seasoning & cilantro.

-Preheat a large skillet over medium-low heat, sprayed with cooking spray. 

-Place one tortilla in the skillet & scoop 1/2 Cup of the filling onto the tortilla in the pan. Sprinkle 1/4 Cup cheese over the bean mixture & place the second tortilla on top of the cheese. Press down on the top tortilla, so the cheese will make them stick together. 

-When the bottom tortilla begins to brown, flip the quesadilla over until both tortillas are lightly browned & crispy & the cheesy filling has melted. 

-Cut into wedges if desired & enjoy!

 The flavors all blend together, & if you want to get really crazy, add some shredded chicken! Boom, dinner is done. Everyone will love it!

White Chocolate Chip & Cranberry Cookies

I was craving a cookie but didn't want an old fashion chocolate chip, or something over powering with sweetness. I had all of these ingredients just sitting in my pantry waiting for me to use to make something quick & delicious.  I would say they're healthy for you since i used dried cranberries...but i feel like that would be pushing it :-P Ingredients: -3/4 cup softened butter -3/4 cup brown sugar -1/2 cup white sugar -1 egg -2t vanilla -1 3/4 cup flour -1/4t salt -1/2t baking soda -1 cup dried cranberries -1 cup white chocolate chips Lets get this party started: Preheat oven to 350 Blend butter, sugars, egg & vanilla until smooth.  Stir in flour, salt & baking soda (it gets pretty stiff). Add white chocolate chips & cranberries. (at this point i just hand stirred everything in instead of having the dough get stuck to the whisks on the electric mixer). Drop by rounded teaspoons on baking sheet, space them about...

Ingredients: 1# ground Italian Sausage, browned 1 yellow onion, chopped 2 large carrots, chopped 2 stalks celery, shopped 4 gloves garlic, minced 1T Italian seasoning 2t beef bouillon powder (this is usually in the soup aisle at the grocery store if not in the spice section) 1/2t salt 4 cups beef broth 1/4 cup cornstarch mixed and dissolved in 1/4 cup water 3 cups of half and half 1 - 12oz package three cheese tortellini (or whatever flavor you prefer) 1 package of fresh baby spinach (the smaller bag) Crock it like it's hot: Brown the sausage (and drain) and put it in the Crockpot.
