Veggie Quesadillas

Sometimes you just need an easy dinner–tonight was one of those times.  As I was roasting up some broccoli and cauliflower, I decided to go with a veggie quesadillas.

I threw half of a sliced green pepper into a saute pan along with 1 minced garlic clove, 1/4 cup sliced white mushrooms, and this little fella I grew in my garden:

Into the pan:

Once the veggies were tender, I loaded up half of a Joseph’s Low Carb Pita with 1 cup each of roasted broccoli and cauliflower and the sautéed veggies:

Topped everything off with a thinly sliced light babybel cheese round:

and threw onto the george foreman til the cheese was melty and the pita was crispy:

Then I topped it off with 2 tbsp Fat Free Breakstones, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 1/2 of a roma tomato, and some banana peppers:

One bite in, I added a couple sprinkles of Franks Red hot:

Mmm hmmm good.

Easy dinner, but kitchen still got destroyed:

Stats on the veggie quesadilla:  229 calories, 33g carbs, 6g fat, 18g protein, 9g fiber

Time to get my clean on!

Hello! I’m Mary, a self-proclaimed fervent foodie and carbohydrate connoisseur. This blog is about my life—my passions, adventures, and failures—through food. I’m a bean counting CPA by trade, but my true passion is food. It is the unabashed soul of my being. The history, the culture, the taste, the experience–I am fascinated and enchanted by it all. I devote my free time almost entirely to scouting out delicious restaurants and cooking up new recipes. It makes me especially happy when I can take a recipe and “healthify” it. By this I mean turn it into something healthy and nutritious that still tastes friggin’ delicious. I love to connect with readers, restaurants, and those in public relations, so email me and let’s talk food! Google
