Need recipes for a possible BC cookbooklet How about sharing your favorite healthy-eating recipe? I'll share one of mine....it works best with an electric quesadilla maker...but you could probably get the same effect with a skillet and something to weight it down (another smaller skillet).... SPINACH AND FETA QUESADILLAS Whole wheat tortillas Fresh spinach Fat-free feta cheese Sweet onion (like vidalia) Cilantro Tomato, thinly sliced and pressed to remove excess water Thinly sliced orange or yellow pepper Balsamic vinegar (I used Balsamic Vinegar Salad Spritzer by Wish Bone) Build the quesadilla by piling on fresh spinach, thinly sliced sweet onion, tomato, pepper slices and cilantro. Top with fat free feta. Then drizzle lightly with balsamic vinegar or use the salad spritzer. You can add salt if you like; I omit because the feta contains salt. Top with another whole wheat tortilla then cook in your quesadilla maker. It is good by itself but I have also served it with a jalapeno/tomatillo salsa and some nonfat or lite sour cream. It would also be good with fresh basil and drizzled before cooking with a little lemon juice and olive oil. If you are preparing in a skillet, you will cook on each side until brown (don't forget to weight the quesadilla down with a heavy skillet while cooking). Slice into wedges with a pizza cutter or sharp knife. This is a quick and easy meal....I just fixed it for lunch. Would love to see your healthy recipes!! If I get enough recipes I'll compile them into a BC cookbooklet and distribute it at the 1st annual BC 4th of July reunion! Also, when you submit your recipe let me know if you'd like to be credited by using your handle, or your name, or both... He is no fool if he should choose to lose the things he cannot keep to gain what he can never lose.....Jim Elliott Deena  |

I agree the man has to cook, LOL. I also LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE salads. Balsamic vinegar is awesome stuff. But raised on a dairy farm I need meat, chicken, eggs, at least once every two weeks.

My kids and their friends have always loved my nachos. 1. I take a cookie sheet and cover it with aluminum foil then spray it with Pam or whatever non-stick spray I have. 2. Preheat oven to 350. 3. Then I spread Dorita's or some type of chip (whatever is on sale) over the entire sheet. 4. Next I cook a can of refried beans in a pot on the stove. Be sure to stir often to avoid sticking, I find it best to not cook on high also. 5. Spoon the refried beans onto the chips. 6. Sprinkle low-fat or regular shredded cheddar cheese over everything. 7. Cook until cheese melts, 5-10 minutes at most and voila. Can serve with sour cream, guacamole, etc if you wish or add jalapenos, olives and other things.
