Kevin's Kitchen: Playing with Quesadillas

A thyroidectomy requires a life change. That includes changing eating habits. The purpose of Kevin's Kitchen is to help those with no (or little) cooking skills to create great meal

To make great quesadillas, you don't need to have a quesadillas grill, but it sure comes in handy.  And can be a lot of fun for the family. The grill is a press that toasts the tortilla while warming and melting a filling that sits between the two tortilla shells.

You get to pick the filling... and it can be almost anything!

Here is a pizza quesadilla

This is a buffalo chicken quesadilla

This is a potato chip and cheese quesadilla, hey - why not?

Quesadilla makers can be a lot of fun for the whole family.

Kevin's Kitchen: Beef Roast

Your slow cooker is a quick road to dinner heaven!

 I have a meal that is simple and will make you the dinner time hero. I am convinced that a slow cooker was originally invented to cook beef roasts. Sure, it does other things. But what it does better than anything else is a beef roast. 

Get some beef broth, a bag of pre-cut veggies (onion, carrots, potatoes, and celery) and the biggest roast you can find! 

Your market may have a package of stew vegetables - which is perfect!  If not, you'll have to purchase the potatoes, celery, onion, and carrots seperatly.

Microwave the carrots for 4 minutes (because they never get all the way done in the crock pot). Put the vegetables on the bottom of your crockpot/slow cooker, roast on top, poor the broth over the top, and cook all day. So simple that anyone with zero cooking skills can do it. Surprise everyone with this amazing meal!

Kevin's Kitchen: Pepperoni-No-Pizzas Snacks

This snack idea doesn't fall into the "healthy category", but it does fall into the "fun" category. The best part of a pepperoni pizza in an easy to make snack.

 Just put pepperoni on a baking pan, a little dab of pizza Sauce, a sprinkle of finely shredded mozzarella cheese, and then bake at 400 degrees for 4 minutes (longer if you like the pepperoni crispy).
