Bacon... love :)

I haven't posted a blog about a recipe recently.  I honestly feel like I haven't been in the kitchen very much since I started my job.  It's a GREAT reason, but I miss having time to plan out fun meals and taking the time to make them.  Now by the time I leave work, workout then get home it's almost 7pm.  Who wants to start cooking at 7pm?  So, we are back to the simple meals.  We have also been eating out a little more-- which I need to be better about eating HEALTHY when we do go out to eat.  I used to consider eating out my time to eat whatever.  But you know, I'll get into the swing of things :)

Anyway, tonight we ate at Panera.  It's so easy to eat healthy at Panera.  Greek Salad and some soup.  Delish.

Cheesy Chicken, Bacon, & Avocado QuesadillasWell, on Sunday night, I actually had time to think about dinner and make something yummy and new!  Thanks to my new favorite place to find recipes, Pinterest, I was able to find something that was perfect for a summer meal.  I made some Cheesy, Chicken, Bacon, and Avocado Quesadillas.  I'm pretty sure I love all of those ingredients so how could we go wrong?? 

The combination of all the ingredients... yum :)  No complaints.  I paired this meal with some delicious Iowa sweetcorn (which is perfect right now!) and also a salad with some tomatoes, carrots, and cucumbers.  Such a summery meal and so easy to make.  We also went ahead and grilled a pound and a half of chicken... we did NOT use all of that.  We maybe used 1/3 of a pound.  Now with the new job, that gave us leftovers for the week.  On Monday night, I made a pasta salad for lunches for the week.  (I am not a sandwich person...)

I highly recommend this recipe-- it's so easy to make!  What takes the longest is cooking the bacon, and then cutting everything up.  Enjoy :)
