A different take on OJ

My family has sensitivity to citric acid. They love orange juice. We mix Fresca and orange juice together to make a great beverage. It is awesome for brunch. The mix is 50/50 or 60/40 we are not accurate, we just pour and drink. It is less calories too!

Veggie Quesadillas

I love all things warm and gooey with cheese, especially when they are pressed into a little hand held packages like these.

I never thought much of these until I started making them up for apps when having guests and they were a bit hit. They are actually pretty good reheated in the oven, so I like to make a bunch and keep them in the fridge for quick snacks.
