Sometimes, eating healthy can be a challenge…some days I don’t have time to cook a healthy meal, other days I may have time but no energy…and then there are plenty of days I have both time and energy but my emotional state is insisting on eating junk food!
Preparing healthy foods can be a challenge some days but it really is better for our health in the long term!

Check out this very uncomplicated recipe I made from the Old London website for Cheesy Quesadilla Dippers! I made a couple of small changes to the original recipe but they came out great!
•2 cups grated Monterey Jack
•1 cup cooked corn, drained well and pureed in food processor (I decided to use whole corn instead)
•1 bunch scallions, chopped
•Guacamole, mild tomato salsa , fat-free refried beans, and low-fat sour cream as dips
Directions:
1.Preheat oven to 350°F.
2.Arrange half a box of Melba Snacks on a large baking sheet.
3.Divide the Monterey Jack, corn puree, and the scallions evenly among them. Top the mixture with remaining Melba Snacks. (I decided to leave mine topless)
4.Bake the quesadillas until cheese melts.
5.Serve the quesadillas with the guacamole, salsa, refried beans, and sour cream.
