Mac n' Cheese- Part 2

So I know I've already posted a mac n' cheese recipe on the blog this year. But really, mac n' cheese is truly worth of multiple postings, don't you think?
This recipe is so simple and so delicious, perfect for dinner in a pinch. 

Homemade Simple Baked Mac n' Cheese


1 lb cooked whole wheat organic cooked penne pasta
1-3 garlic cloves crushed
2 tbs olive oil
1/4 grated Cheddar cheese
1/4 grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 grated Swiss cheese

1/4 grated Mozzerella cheese

1/2 cup bread crumbs

Toss all ingredients together in a large bowl (except the bread crumbs). Place into a baking dish and top with the bread crumbs. You can also top with a little more parmesan if you'd like. Bake at 350 for 10-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted. 

Serve with fresh tomatoes salad (toss tomatoes, olive oil, basil and salt). Ours this week were from our CSA! YUM!!!

Enjoy!

Easy and Quick- Chicken Quesadillas!

Chicken quesadillas are one of my favorite last minute go-to items for dinner. They are easy, healthy and the whole family loves them. They are even easier when you already have cooked chicken in the fridge. I love to do a whole organic bird in the crock pot once a week or so... it's great just to have the meat on hand for dinners like this. 

To make, all I do is chop cooked chicken, organic mild salsa (I like the Trader Joe's tomatillo) and cheddar cheese together. Put a scoop between two whole wheat tortillas and cook both sides in a pan with a little cooking spray. Pair with a full serving of tomatoes and fruit (remember- 1/2 the plate!) and viola!... dinner in about 5 minutes. 

Enjoy!
