This appears to be one of very few years that a groundhog has accurately predicted 6 more weeks of winter. At least, he was right about the first few weeks! We’ve had more snow in the past week and a half than we usually do in an entire winter. While I may lose readers (and…

As I mentioned in my #10in10 update post yesterday, last week ended up being pretty busy for me. I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a real big fan of cold food, especially in winter.

While I love to cook, some evenings I just want a recipe that is quick and easy. This quesadilla recipe uses leftover chicken breast (or a rotisserie chicken from your local market, if you prefer) for a quick weeknight dinner. Topped with fresh avocado salsa and sour cream, no one will suspect that this meal started…
