Have you made these yet???

These Corn & Black Bean Quesadillas are on my menu plan again this week. They are so easy to make and so delicious and refreshing. Give them a try!

I don't usually like to talk about these, but...




A little conversation with Alton just now went like this.

Alton: "I guess I have a little bit of fever."

Mommy: "Oh, really??"

Alton: "Yeah. That means this HUGE booger is not coming out. It's huge bike a DINOSAUR!"

Call for recipes

Please send me your favorite quick, easy, and at least semi-healthy recipes! I'm in the mood to try some new things, and I think it would be fun to try my friend's favorites! Thank you!

Here's one of our's:

Glazed Kielbasa

1 lb. cooked kielbasa, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup yellow mustard
3 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
1/4 tsp. black pepper

BRING kielbasa and chicken broth to boil in large skillet on medium heat; cover. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 10 to 12 minutes or until heated through.

ADD mustard and brown sugar; mix well. Bring to boil on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, uncovered, 10 minutes or until sauce is thickened and kielbasa is well glazed, stirring frequently.

STIR in parsley and pepper just before serving. Serve over rice or noodles.


**I usually double the sauce ingredients and serve this with sugar snap peas or broccoli.
