It’s 5:30, and everybody’s hungry! It’s been a rough week: work, everyone suffering from allergies and colds, two hours of daily homework with kids who don’t want to do homework, and now it’s time to make dinner.
On nights like these, we’ve got two choices: takeout or one of my “in a pinch/I don’t want to cook” dinner recipes.
The problem with takeout is that we have to wait for Dad (because he picks it up and sometimes comes home too late), and it is not always the healthiest choice. (Because really, who can stop at two slices of pizza?)
One of our favorite quick recipes is Quesadillas. We always have tortillas on hand and (usually cheese) plus I keep my pantry stocked with all sorts of canned ingredients that are great in a quesadilla.
In the past, I made our quesadillas one at a time in the frying pan. This method can be a bit inconvenient, especially when you want to be able to sit down to a family meal and still have the quesadillas hot and crispy.
My solution? Baking them all at once in the oven! Works great with corn or flour tortillas, just use your favorite.
