Vegetarian Quesadillas
These are delicious and very filling! The small amount of cheese really goes a long way - they taste cheesy but aren't oozing and loaded with fat. They also contain lots of fiber. For a very nutritious and yummy meal, I eat half of one, a salad with avocado, and an orange.
My Own Mincemeat Pie Filling
I have used many different mincemeat recipes and created my own mincemeat pie filling, using the most delicious and inexpensive combinations (but really, this recipe is very traditional). You may devise whatever combinations are convenient and affordable for you. Throw in whatever's in season, leftovers you have (cranberry sauce from Thanksgiving, oatmeal from breakfast, old bread, etc.). Mincemeat will take anything, it seems, and still tastes the same—exquisite! So, for Heaven's sake, make whatever changes are thrifty for you, but you may keep the quantities about the same.
