Jack O’ Lantern Quesadillas: (makes 4)A fun recipe for Halloween that is sure to put a smile on your kids’ faces. All you need are whole grain tortillas, beans and shredded cheddar; they bake in the oven for just 10 minutes. You can serve them with your favorite salsa but I provided a recipe for ‘Midnight Salsa’ for you to try. Enjoy!
8 small whole grain soft tortillas
1 cup canned refried beans (fat-free)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place a tortilla on a cutting board. With the sharp tip of a paring knife, carve triangle shapes for eyes and a crescent shape for the mouth. Repeat with 3 more tortillas. Place the other four tortillas on a baking sheet, spread each with a 1/4 cup of beans. Sprinkle each with a 1/4 cup of cheese. Next, top each with the carved tortilla and place in oven for 10 minutes (until cheese is bubbly and browning begins). Serve with Midnight Salsa*.
*Midnight Salsa (makes 2 cups)
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup corn kernels
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1/3 cup chopped red onion
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon cumin
Place all ingredients into a small bowl. Toss well and chill for 20 minutes.

Yes completion is near. This seldom happens to me but I am in a state of funk. Don’t want to do anything. Have not written a poem in three days. Usually at least one once a day. Watching tv which I never turn on and on the computer reading. I hope I snap out of this lol
