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!

Easiest Quinoa "Salad"

Who doesn't like a 5-ingredient dinner/snack? Granted, there could be a little more prep time depending on what you have laying around but for a mom that's always on the go with Baseball Practice and who knows what else...this is perfect. I cooked my Quinoa in my rice cooker, it was super easy to just dump it in there and walk away. If you don't have a rice cooker, just follow the instructions on the back of the bag. You can find Quinoa in the rice section of the grocery store usually, if not there check by the Organics. Side note : Whether I cook my Quinoa in a pot or in my rice cooker, I always cook it in Chicken Broth, adds more flavor! You'll notice the difference between water and Chicken Broth, I promise! If you have some cooked chicken already, perfect. If not, I usually get a rotisserie chicken and just shred it. Luckily, Matthew's mom has been buying me whole chickens and cooking them in the crockpot for me (because she's awesome) and then sending...

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...
