Our family loves pizza and since I’ve been watching what I eat, I’ve came up with a few healthy alternatives to expensive, fattening delivery. For this recipe I used sandwich skinnies, they’re made of whole grains and fiber and are 100 calories for the two slices. I make some with pizza sauce and desired toppings, and some I brush with a small amount of olive oil, light mozzarella cheese and fresh veggies.

The kids and I love these! But to my surprise my husband and Dad raved over them the other night! Super quick, healthy and delicious.. I’ll take it!

Southwestern Style Quesadillas

I didn’t know what to make for dinner tonight.. It’s one of those nights where I want something good, fast and easy! I browsed the fridge and pantry, and here’s what I came up with… southwestern style quesadillas. They were delicious!! Here’s what you’re going to need:

tortillas
mild or sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
corn
canned black beans
sour cream
lettuce, onions, olives (for toppings)
taco sauce, optional

Start by warming your skillet and spraying with a light cooking spray, fill half of the tortilla with cheese, corn and black beans. Fold over. Let cook until each side is lightly browned. Repeat for your desired amount of quesadillas. Top with a dollop of sour cream, onions, lettuce, olives and taco sauce. Or any other preferred toppings. This dinner is super delish, quick ( took me about 10 minutes start to finish ), and the kids loved it!
