So it was our 14th wedding anniversary yesterday and we celebrated over the weekend with a dinner at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse so we were not going out to eat again during the week day. Monique and I did meet up at a Bob Evan’s for lunch and that was some good home cooking, I love their pot roast sandwich and she gets their breakfast items often.
Any who, we really wanted something quick and easy last night so I whipped up some of these Vegetable Quesadilla’s for the three of us. Only about 30 minutes from prep to sitting at the dinner table too, this is a really quick and easy way to enjoy the southwest favorite. I stuffed some extra vegetable filling into these three that I made, but the recipe is written to yield 4 servings.
