Favorite Recipe for Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo is tomorrow and do you have your evening planned? Even if you are staying home for a normal weeknight meal, why not spice it up a little with a Mexican inspired entree. Here is one of our favorites - not time cosuming and tasty.

Spinach & Chicken Quesadilla

• 2 T. olive oil
• ½ c. diced white onion
• 4 cups packed baby spinach
• 1 clove garlic smashed
• 2 cups left over chicken breast or shredded roast chicken
• Cooking oil spray
• 8 flour tortillas, each 10 inches in diameter
• 2 cups shredded reduced fat Monterey jack cheese
• 1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream
• 1 c. pico de gallo

1. Prepare the filling: In a large, heavy fry pan over medium heat, sauté onion in olive oil until tender – about 2-3 minutes.
2. Add the spinach and chicken and sauté just until the spinach is wilted, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl.
3. To make the quesadillas: Wipe out the fry pan with a paper towel and return to medium heat. Spray with cooking oil.
4. Place one tortilla in pan open face and then sprinkle with ¼ cup shredded cheese and 1/8th of the spinach cheese mixture. Top with 1 tablespoon of sour cream and 2 tablespoons pico de gallo. Heat until tortilla is browned and crispy and cheese has melted. Fold in half omelet style garnish with salsa and avocado and serve.

Review the list and add items needed to your shopping list today to be prepared for tomorrow (May 5th!).

May Day - Celebrating Friends and Family

May Day is tomorrow...

Does anyone still participate in the May basket tradition? The tradition stems back many years and people would leave a May basket of flowers or treats on a friend's doorstep as a surprise. Some say that if the person who leaves the flowers is "caught" a kiss would need to be exchanged.

Think about your close family and friends, would this tradition bring a smile to their face? It just might be worth a trip to the nursery tonight...
