Ham and cheese quesadillas

Back from 18 holes of disc golf, and hungry.  Time for a quick lunch.  In fact, I can't believe I'm taking time to take pictures... at least I can get the writing done later...

Quesadillas used to be more of a staple in our household, until we shifted gears with the health level of what we put into our bodies.  Seeing as how cheese is somewhere around eighty percent milkfat, it's not a good idea to base an entire food item around it.  However, it is really delicious, and in moderation, like most things, it's good for you (remember, your body does need fats to be healthy, you just have to watch how much, and what kinds)

This is also here to show that a quick and easy lunch doesn't have to involve fast food or frozen anything (actually, I NEVER eat fast 'food'... I am of the mind that it should be outlawed, and not hold the right to be called food, since there are no nutrients involved)

With all of that said, lets move on to a positive thought... like delicious ham and cheese quesadillas!

Friday: Chicken/Spinach/Feta Sausage Sandwiches with Hush Puppies and Green Beans

Fridays we let the health level dip a bit, often it's a night for pizza or burgers or something, and it's the only night we can watch a movie or play video games during dinner, pizza party night, if you will.  This Friday, we got home late from Disc Golf, so we threw a little something together and still ate at the table.

Simply pan grilled the sausages until cooked through, added onions to the pan to caramelize while the sausages cooked.  Piled the onions high on bakery white bread, topped with dijon mustard.

The hush puppies were our Friday treat.  Jiffy cornbread mix made thicker than usual, added canned corn, diced fresh jalapenos and tiny cubes of cheddar.  Cooked them in the deep fryer.

Taylor made the green beans.  Steamed them halfway to retain vitamins, then sauteed in a pan with olive oil to finish. A dash of kosher salt was all they needed.

Cost: $7 total, and we had 2 sausages left over to add to pasta sauce for tomorrow.

Time: 25 minutes total.
