Turkey dog salad

This is one my recent finds and it is so incredible! My kids even love it!

Ingredients:
enough turkey dogs and buns for your family. ( Oscar Mayer has them nitrate free!)
head of romaine
tomatoes
red onion
dill pickles
mustard
vinegar
honey

mix 1/4 cup yellow mustard, 2 T vinegar, 2 T honey in a huge bowl. (You need enough room to stir) Add torn lettuce, sliced tomatoes, diced onion, & sliced pickles. Toss well. Now, you can either cut up the hot dogs and toss them with the salad, or stuff your bun with salad and put the hot dog on top. So easy and yummy!
By the way, I do heat up the dogs in a skillet before we eat them.

Ultimate Quesedilla

This recipe is the perfect comfort food! I would rather eat these quesedillas than eat out any day!

Here is what you need:

1 stick of butter, room temp.
Flour tortillas
Cheese of your choice
Grilled chicken or fajita meat
avocado
onions
tomatoes
assorted bell peppers
sour cream
salsa

Whether I am using chicken or beef, I slice it VERY thin, usually when the meat is cold. Slice the onions, peppers, and tomato very thin also. Saute the onions and peppers in a skillet with butter until soft and tender. Season with a little bit of salt.

I have to stop a minute and talk about the butter. I LOVE BUTTER! Most of the time I will use evoo, but if I am making something this junky, I want butter! Real butter, not margarine or Crisco or whatever else you might want to use. Trust me, butter!

Ok. Next spread your butter on one side of two tortillas. Place one, butter side down, in the skillet. layer cheese, chicken, onions, peppers, tomatoes, avocado and more cheese. Place other tortilla, butter side up, on top. Cook until bottom tortilla is crispy and then flip. Do the same for other side. Voila! the perfect junk food!

After you get your fill of quesedilla, ( I can usually only eat one) You can throw another tortilla on. Butter both sides! cook until nice and golden. add honey. Yum!

Of course, you can put anything you want in these. This is just the way I do it. Have fun & eat allot!
