Spicy Chicken and Black Bean Quesadilla

-
 
Remember these? I used one to make a hearty quesadilla recently. I had a bit of avocado in the fridge along with some habenaros that I added for extra heat and some cheddar jack cheese. Put it all on a flour tortilla with a bit of butter and season it with Fiesta Citrus seasoning and Cumin. Served with sour cream and salsa it was delicious!

 
                                                                                                         
 
Today was a blustery day with a bit of rain and snow. I helped (along with 3 other Moms) serve hot lunch at the school where our two youngest children attend. Serena's classroom had Occupational Dress Up Day today as well. They were to dress up as an occupation they want to have when they grow up and give a short report on what it is that they would do if they had that job. I saw a Policeman, Cowboys, Nurses, Musician/Singer, Football Player, Photographer, Cowgirls, Rancher, someone in Case Tractor Sales, a Gap Power worker, Chef/Baker, Painter, and an Equine Veterinarian. Horse Vet as Serena would say. Yep, that last one was my daughter. She's been insisting on this for several years. I guess time will tell. But she does love horses, so who knows? They were all cute! Another younger classroom had Hat Day. February is always a fun month for them because of all the special things they do for February Fun.
 
Yesterday was rather disappointing for my husbands family. Dad-In-Law thought he would possibly be released from his stay at the hospital but started with a massive sinus infection :( and was not able to come home after all!
Please pray with us that this would clear up quickly so he could come home! We appreciate your prayers and believe every one of them makes a difference!
 
Have a wonderful evening!
♥Be Blessed!♥

    well, this isn't what we had for hot lunch. :) I grilled some marinated chicken breasts for sandwiches with all the fixings, veggies and dip, fresh fruit and cupcakes, seasoned pretzels/chips and lemonade. They might have thought it was summer only the weather wouldn't cooperate :)

    These sound wonderful, Martha. I love easy to put together meals like this. Sorry about your father-in-law, hope this setback is very minor. Just said a prayer for him.

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, starting on
