When I am doing lunch just for myself or making the kids an afternoon snack I like to cook up these quick and easy Ham and Cheese Quesadillas!
Since the kids have started school I find myself home alone at lease once a week for lunch. When it is just me I tend to gravitate toward eating chips for lunch. I try to get most of my blogging work done that day and I feel stuck at the computer or working on a recipe for a post so I don’t eat properly.
Now that I realize that this is a problem I have been trying to do better at making something for myself. I try to make sure there are leftovers so I can heat up something quickly or I like to make quesadillas. Seriously I really could eat them everyday but I did that and then I got tired of them. So I do it once a week, on my day when no one is home.
I just grab my pan or skillet, and pretty much throw the quesadillas together and within five minutes lunch is served. I can put anything in them I want and they literally are done in a matter of minutes. I like to add sour cream and salsa to mine, kind of makes me feel like I am having a full meal.
What’s even better is that the kids like them too. They like them in their lunches or for an afternoon snack as well. It’s not too heavy that it spoils their dinner and it is perfect for school lunches. ENJOY!
