March 17th – April 1st

Hello Friends –  Happy St Patrick’s Day!  This last week we have been without a meal plan, which never works out well.   I have meals planned for the next two weeks, but this will actually last 3 weeks.  This menu should last until we come back from Illinois from Tommy’s soccer tournament.  Trying a lot of recipes from Skinnytaste.com – hope the family likes them.  SkinnyTaste.com has WW points for all their recipes.

It is starting to feel a bit like Spring in Minnesota, though we still have plenty of snow.    Wishing you a wonderful week!

Make

1. Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add oil and when hot, add onions and bell peppers and saute until tender, ~3 minutes. Add chili powder and cumin and saute until fragrant, ~1 minute. Add black beans and salsa and simmer until any extra moisture is cooked off, 2 to 3 minutes. Take pan off the heat and stir in cilantro (the portion for the quesadillas). Season with some salt and pepper.
2. Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the pan, top it with a heaping spoonful of filling, cheese and then another tortilla. When the tortilla on the bottom is golden brown and crisp, flip the quesadilla and cook on the other side until golden brown and crisp. Continue with the remaining tortillas and filling. (Note: As written, the recipe makes 1.5 quesadillas per person.)
3. Slice quesadillas into wedges and serve with guacamole, sour cream and extra salsa. Enjoy!
