Cooking away

I decided about 2 weeks ago I was tired of going to the grocery store almost everyday for one or two items to make a meal that I would finally get smart and meal plan for the week. Let me tell you it's been nice. Mark just approves what we have which is SO hard because he is picky in what he likes to eat. Thank goodness for Pinterest and new recipe ideas, it has helped expand my go to meals. I am so grateful that Mark is willing to try out the new recipe. I will give him credit when I do plan out the week he will cook from time to time too. He tried to bbq ribs the other day and he was doing a great job until the propane ran out 3/4 of the way thru cooking the ribs. But no worries we just threw the ribs into the oven and it turned out yummy.

My newest Pinterest recipe came from the Pioneer Women ( which I totally love her). If you haven't heard about the Pioneer Women, Ree Drummond , you need to learn about her FAST!! Her book is amazing and I love her cooking show on the Food Network and of course I follow her on Instagram (she takes amazing pictures). Thanks to her I have a new breakfast favorite: Breakfast Quesadilla. If any one knows me , knows that I am not a fan of eggs unless there is multiple things in it. So this recipe is perfect for me. Its just a new way to eat a breakfast burrito and who doesn't love a good breakfast burrito.
  What you need to make it according to Ree, the colored it my remarks on how I changed it up.

1 lb Bacon,

Produce (thanks to Mark being picky none of this section made my quesadillas)
