This is a super quick, easy, and light dinner. This also makes a great snack or appetizer. It looks like a lot of spinach at first, but it shrinks down a lot in no time during cooking. Other types of tortillas can be used if whole wheat isn't available. Serve with salsa and sour cream.
Ingredients
- 2 whole wheat tortillas , 10 inch
- 3 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 0.67 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 green onion , chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons chili powder
Instructions

1
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place 1 tortilla onto the skillet. Sprinkle about half the Cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla. Top with the spinach, green onions, garlic powder, and chili powder. Cover with the remaining Cheddar cheese. Place the second tortilla on top.

Cook until the bottom tortilla starts to develop a bit of color and starts to crisp, about 3 minutes. To flip and cook the other side, slide the quesadilla off the non-stick pan onto a dinner plate, cover with another dinner plate and flip. The crispy tortilla side should now be on top. Slide the quesadilla back onto the pan and cook until the bottom tortilla starts turning crisp, about 3 minutes more. Slide onto a cutting board, and cut into 8 wedges to serve.

Instant Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies
Be warned: These breakfast cookies are addictive. I took a basic oatmeal cookie recipe and pumped it up. It has whole wheat flour so it's filling and excellent as a breakfast cookie. I gave a friend this recipe and her family can't get enough. Incredible flavor!
Old-Fashioned Shortcake
This easy recipe for shortcake was given to me by a friend. It was her mother's recipe, and it has become one of my favorite summer dessert recipes. These fabulous cakes sop up all the strawberry juices, and the touch of nutmeg sends them over the top!
Pecan-Crusted Pork with Pumpkin Butter
This is one of my favorite ways to eat pork. Pork chops are crusted in pecans and breadcrumbs, then topped with a delicious homemade pumpkin butter. (You can always use store bought pumpkin butter if you can find it but homemade is always better).
