My first try at chicken quesadillas

I have been wanting to try something different for suppers, and I was thinking the other night that Chicken Quesadillas would be good to make at home!

Tonight was the night, and I have to say that they turned out very good.


4 lb whole chicken (mine was fresh)
chicken bullion cube
fajita seasoning packet
green bell peppers from the garden (frozen)

I put this all in the pressure cooker, and it took around 20 mintutes or so.

I let it cool a bit, shredded the chicken..added more seasoning, some of the cooking juice, and the bell peppers.


I cut up a tomato and added it onto the tortilla, so it was cheese, meat, tomato, cheese.

I heated up a skillet on medium and cooked them each side about 2 minutes. As they got done, i stacked them inbetwen 2 plates and watched them....waiting till they where all done.

Yummy! This will be made again.

Squash Surprise!

A friend of mine has extra squash and tomatoes, so I wanted to post my favorite reciepe to make with those extras!

What you need: 

~ carton of Del Fuerte tomato sauce (I find it in the mexican section at Walmart, real cheap)~
~ zucchini and yellow squash diced up~
~diced up tomato~
~onion~
~fresh garlic~
~bag of frozen corn~
~chicken bullion cube (if you want for extra flavor)~

 I first dice up the squash and tomato and put it into a pot, get the sauce poured in. (the veggies will make more liquid as they cook) and add it in along with the bag of frozen corn. Turn it on to a low boil and then turn it down to simmer. As this is cooking I saute the diced up onions and fresh garlic together, when its nice and browed I then add it to the mix. along with the bullion cube, chopped up.

The best thing about this is you can add whatever you want. I once added some diced cabbage I had as well. very simple and very quick.
