Apple, Brie, and Spinach Quesadillas
I am an habitual lazy eater/grocery shopper. There. I said it.
I consistently list the same items on my grocery list from week to week then expect myself to suddenly morph them into a different meal than usual. Sounds reasonable enough, right?
Sometimes it works out, sometimes it has me running to the store on my way home from work for emergency fresh sage. This time it decidedly worked out.
Not exactly your typical quesadilla, but these things are good! In fact, they are good enough to have for dinner, lunch, then dinner again!
