These quesadillas de flor de calabaza (zucchini blossom quesadillas) are very popular in Mexico. The bacon grease in the recipe adds another level of tastiness to the quesadillas. Plus, they crisp up beautifully.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon bacon grease
- 2 corns tortillas
- 2 slices Manchego cheese
- 6 zucchinis blossoms
Instructions
-
1
Melt bacon grease in a cast-iron or regular skillet over medium heat. Place tortillas side-by-side in the skillet; top each with 1 slice cheese and 3 zucchini blossoms. Fold tortillas in half.

2
Cook until tortillas are lightly browned and cheese starts to melt, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until other side is crispy, lightly browned, and cheese has melted, about 1 minute more.

Mrs. Walker's Fruit Cake
This is a fruit cake for people who do not normally like fruit cake. If you happen to already like fruit cake, you will love this. Honestly, it is the best fruit cake I have ever tasted. It was handed down to me by a dear old lady who has now gone home to be with the Lord.
Smashed Cucumber Salad
This smashed cucumber salad is one of my all-time favorite cold summer side dishes. By crushing our cucumber before we cut it, we produce flavors that un-smashed cukes can't. The only decision you're going to have to make is how long to let the cucumbers marinate — half an hour or so or not at all. Perfect with grilled meat or shrimp.
Quick and Easy Peach Pie Egg Rolls with Raspberry Sauce
I had to make a dessert really quickly because we had some friends over for dinner. Unfortunately I lent out my car and was unable to make it to the grocery store. All I had was a can of peach pie filling, some raspberry jam, cream cheese, egg roll wrappers, and some vanilla ice cream in the freezer.
