some dang quesadillas

Quick yummy dinner.
grill some chicken
make some fresh pico
cook some rice and beans (i used black)
grate some cheese (i used cheddar, but other kinds would be good too)
put some rice, beans, diced chicken, and cheese on a tortilla and cook in a fry pan until the cheese is melted. Top with pico and whatever else your tummy feels like!!! I know, like you all need a recipe for something as simple as a quesadilla, but it's a menu idea so there!!!

pasta

nick and i just made a delicious pasta dish the other night for dinner. i think next time we will just use regular noodles so it's not quite so bad for us. anyway here is the recipe.

one 20 oz package of tortellini, or raviolli
diced ham (i used a cooked ham steak)
diced red pepper
fresh spinach
sugar snap peas
1/4 c butter
fresh ground pepper

in a fry pan brown the butter over a medium heat until the butter is golden brown. add the pepper, ham and to the butter to cool it down.

put spinach and peas in a collander

cook pasta and pour over the spinach and peas in the collander. you will be draining the pasta over the spinach and peas. add the pasta mixture to the butter mixture add pepper at the end.

yummy!
