Written by Just created a new post category here. I don’t know why we didn’t do it before – probably because until recently everything we were busy with revolved around the wedding. But now, three months into our marriage (and doing great) and well into the working year for both of us, talk of matrimony is set aside for a more immediate practical concern: food.
Neither of us did much cooking as single people – we were both fast-food folks. Problem is, that crap’s expensive and not particularly good for you; it’s just convenient and there’s no dishes to wash afterwards. But now that we have lunches to pack in the morning and someone else to cook for and evening assistance at the kitchen sink (not to mention an awesome array of new professional-grade kitchen gadgets), we’ve learned to save money and eat a lot better by nailing down some regular dinner recipes.
Last night – Tuesday – we’re sitting around playing video games with my brother Chris in Orlando. Every Tuesday night we have this activity arranged, usually Grand Theft Auto 4, and usually Kristi and Chris slugging it out online while I’m fixing dinner. We’re all on the phone and using headsets, hanging out and playing and joking for a few hours. And while they’re diligently working together to blast their way through dozens of bad guys to blow up a tanker ship, I’m making quesadillas. They’re simple, delicious, nutritious and easy to eat with your hands. Perfect video game food.
So to inaugurate the new Food section of R&K, here’s the current incarnation of my Tuesday night quesadilla recipe.
Full recipe after the jump.
