QUESADILLAS or MINI PIZZAS

“Missing in Action” . . . that best describes me lately.

If you need me, you can find me in the garden.

I’m probably muttering under my breath . . . but I’ll be there!

My fingertips are red or green at all times.

Red from picking Raspberries.

Green from podding peas.

I’m not a farm girl, and I really don’t enjoy it . . . but I do it.  I do it, because I love my husband . . . who loves it!

Waa – Waa – Waa.

I’d much rather be making something with those Raspberries, than picking them.

This post, really isn’t much of a post. Trust me, it’s the best I can do.  Most of you are probably already on this band wagon . . . the uncooked flour tortilla band wagon!   Yes, I have made homemade soft flour tortilla’s before . . . but not very often.  Did you know that you can buy FRESH UNCOOKED FLOUR TORTILLAS.  Yes you can.

Take a look . . . see.

They puff up much more than already cooked flour tortillas, and they are really delish.  In fact, they remind me of a crispy, thin crust pizza. I tried them on the grill and on a skillet on top of my stove.  They were both really good, so I ate both of them! They puffed slightly higher on the grill, over very low flame.  Medium heat seems to be the perfect temp if you are using a griddle instead.

Queso” is cheese in Spanish. And a quesadilla is a toasted tortilla with melted cheese inside. But in addition to cheese, you can put practically anything in a quesadilla.

As you can see, mine are open face.  Next time I make these, I will spread some pizza sauce over the puffy tortilla before adding the cheese.  Instant pizza!  You can add a variety of meats, veggies & different cheese.  So simple and so darn good!

I’m not promoting this brand, (Tortilla Land) but they sure are good.  It’s the only brand I could find.  They won’t last as long in your fridge as cooked Tortillas, so plan to make them soon after you purchase them.  They are fresh without preservatives; all natural!

Grill: (lowest setting)

Skillet: (Medium heat)

My favorite is with Crisp Bacon & Pineapple.

I have a very delicious guest blogger post, almost ready for Rhodes Rolls + a giveaway! I will let you know when it’s up & running.  In the meantime, between gardening and babies, I will try really hard to Get Off My Butt and BAKE!

FYI: 

My photographer daughter Chantri had a new little boy about one month ago.  His name is Hudson and he is So precious. I was lucky enough to keep him for several nights while my poor daughter recovered from a wicked bout of mastitis! I love newborns, and I offered to keep him until he was two!

My other photographer daughter Danielle, had a baby boy just 4 days ago.  He was born 6 weeks early and weighed 3.1 lbs.  He is doing well though and we are praying that he will grow like a weed! His tiny little face is known as Tanner. Soon, I hope to fly far away to Virginia to “help” love him.

How blessed am I!
