The Refrigerator Challenge

While I love a well-stocked refrigerator, bursting with healthy, fresh green stuff, I also love a fridge that has a bunch of odds and ends at the close of the week.

I call it, "The Refrigerator Challenge!"

Tonight was a night like that. Between the fridge, the freezer and the pantry, we whipped this up:

Turkey Quesadilla-nini
Slices of Jennie-O roasted turkey breast
Slices of Muenster cheese
Low-carb whole wheat tortilla
Panini press

Assemble and drop the lid. Voila!

Lima-Licious
Frozen lima beans, nuked to room temp
Frozen corn, nuked to room temp
Red onion, chopped
Feta cheese crumbles
Black olives
Grape tomatoes
Orange bell pepper, chopped
Dijon vinaigrette

Add all veg to bowl. In separate bowl, mix 1T Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, diced garlic, salt and pepper. Pour dressing over the chopped veg. It gets better as it sits.

I actually didn't have a quesadilla-nini myself (Jim did), but instead chopped up some turkey and fresh spinach and mixed it with the Lima-Licious. Yummmmm!
