Review: Tortilla Land Tortillas (Quesadillas for Breakfast or Dinner)

One of my go-to quick and easy meals is quesadillas.  Just add cheese and cook it up - dinner is done on a crazy night.  We also like to use them for taco nights or to wrap up eggs for a quick breakfast.

So, when the nice folks over at Tortilla Land asked if I'd like a sample of their homemade, fresh tortillas I was quick to say "yes!".  They were kind enough to send me a lot more than a sample, so My Family can keep enjoying them while I beg my local grocery store to start carrying them! 

Since they are uncooked, you do need to heat them on each side for about 30 seconds. Then, pile in the fillings you are craving.  This morning after a getting in an early run, I opted for scrambled eggs, Penzey's Fox Point Seasoning and a sprinkle of cheese to start my day with a breakfast quesadilla.

This is a great way to start the day and full of protein to keep you satisfied until lunch time!

Tangy Tuscan Lime Muffins

When the May issue of Cooking Light showed up in my mailbox, I was thrilled to find a few recipes I wanted to try.  I pulled out the section on making muffins right away... because, well... I love to bake muffins and the variety in this issue spoke to me right away.  Everything from sweet to tangy to chocolatey to savory. 

I had some limes hanging around so, I made an adjustment to the Tuscan Lemon Muffins by using the limes.  This was one of those times when I had all the ingredients on hand at the moment I got the urge to bake.  I just love when that happens!

This week we have seen so much rain that I think we might just float away! On my way home on Wednesday, the rain was coming down so hard that the water had no where to go... but, across the roads.  I was wary of driving through certain stretches of one of our busier roads because it does tend to flood a bit.  Fortunately, I left work before it had time to really get too high.

After I picked up My Boys from school we were on our way home and I pointed out to them that the little bridge that is over a shallow stream was likely to be overtaken by the water tonight.  The water was very close to reaching the road - up probably 5-6 feet and no where to go. 

I really am wondering what is happening with the weather the past year or so... our Winter seemed brutal between snowstorms that actually caused my office to shut down and our schools to use all 3 snow days plus 2 extra days... and, now Spring doesn't seem to be anything but rain with a few warm, sunny days thrown in to tease us.

Maybe I'm just a bit grumpy and down due to the grey skies this week and crave some warm sunshine to brighten my mood.  Tonight's dinner was a taste of summer for me.  I chose another recipe from Ellie Krieger and was, once again, very pleased with the results.

I know, I know.. I've been a very bad blogger lately... I haven't even been cooking that many interesting things lately, so you haven't been missing too much.  Hopefully, you are still here with me and will be patient as I work to get back to a regular posting routine.  If you are new here as a result of my new writing gig at Patch, then WELCOME! and, I promise to have something new to share here a couple times a week, and when I'm really inspired a bonus post or two! Ok, let's not get too crazy here considering my irratic posting the last couple of months.... but, I do have some yummy recipes planned for the next week or so, and will post them as quickly as I can!
