Quesadillas are a satisfyingly simple dish. To simplify down – and REALLY simplify down, what they can be described as; they are a Mexican version of grilled cheese. They are so much more than that, the tortilla crisps up really nicely, and does not require […]

Chicken, Broccoli, Brown and Wild Rice Tray Bake Recipe

Why tray bakes work I am weird about textures.  If a food has a weird texture that I don’t like then I just won’t eat it.  And this is how my life has been with brown rice.  People will rant and rave “it’s so healthy” […]
