Cooking With Christie: Outtakes!

Most of the ingredients for the Hot Chocolate Cookies. BTW: These cookies were a lot of fun to make!

Helpful Tip From Me to You: Don’t get caught up with playing a video game whilst baking them….as you only get about ten uninterrupted minutes (at a time) before you need to do one thing or another with them.

Cooking With Christie: Sheet Pan Quesadillas

Inspiration: Recovering from a cold and small depression spiral, I really wanted to cook — but I needed a straightforward recipe to sink my teeth into….so I pulled out my Pioneer Woman Super Easy Cookbook!

And low and behold, I found the perfect dinner dish — Sheet Pan Quesadillas! Cheesy, with plenty of veggies and roasted chicken, it’s full of flavor and as advertised, it’s super easy to make!

Now, you can use pantry staples plus a rotisserie chicken to compose this dish. Or, if you’re like me, you can use a variety of canned and fresh ingredients! For example, in the pic above, I used meat from a bird I roasted myself, canned slow-roasted corn, bell & drop peppers, a Mexican cheese mix, and regular flour tortillas. Then we put guacamole, salsa, and hot sauce on the table for dipping!

Simple, tasty, and a great weeknight dinner idea!

Now, in fairness, I scaled this recipe back as I didn’t need to feed a small army — but I still had enough leftovers for lunch the next day.

Christie: Can I see any of the Christie characters eating this? Honestly? Not really, but I can see Inspector Japp, Tuppence, and Miss Marple appreciating the kitchen hacks Rhee uses in this cookbook!
