A Few Of My Favorite Recipes (Part 3)

I know sometimes it's hard to come up with fresh (and easy) recipes for the family.  I'm picky, I won't lie, so here are a couple recipes that C (most of the time) and I love.

I'll post more recipes in the future.  Let me know what you think!

Fruit Salad
It's the next easiest thing since pb&j.  Grab three (or more) fruits you have around, cut them up, put in a bowl, and you have a fruit salad.

C and I love these.  I usually make very large bowls when I'm lazy and don't know what to do about supper.

My favorite add-in is mandarin oranges.  I like to add all of our fresh fruit with some canned mandarin oranges to add a little bite.  The above photo includes bananas, blueberries, peaches, strawberries and mandarin oranges.

Tip: Let your child cut up the bananas with a dull butter or silicone knife.  C loves to help and it's his new thing- cutting (and separating equally into the bowls).

Microwave Chips

Super healthy potato chips! 

Ingredients:

1 or more potatoes (It's best to use a regular potato, not red or golden.  Trust me, I've experimented).

Salt

Pop chip trays & mandolin

Slice, add to tray, salt over sink, stack trays, and microwave for allotted time (depends on how many trays you're using), enjoy!

To purchase:

Maker & mandolin, 19.95 (includes one tray and mandolin)

Two extra trays 24.95

No, mine were found on woot.com this past winter.  I probably paid $25 for the entire 3 trays and mandolin.

Quesadillas
These really don't have a recipe.  Just use whatever you have on hand.  Here's our favorite.

Ingredients:
Tortillas
Mushrooms
Cheese
Spinach
leftover Chicken
leftover Karla's Alfredo
Sour cream

Spread sour cream & Karla's Alfredo on one side of two tortillas.
Add your desired toppings.
Butter/ grease/ oil a pan and start cooking like you would a grilled cheese (until it's golden on each side).
