BBQ Chicken Quesidallias At #2.

Good Tuesday everyone! Sorry for being such a slacker these past few days. I would have posted yesterday, but, I was down all day with food poisoning after eating at McDonalds. I won't be eating there anytime soon! I am glad to say I am feeling 100% fine now, thanks be to God. One bonus to being sick is getting out of school. But, being well is still much better.

These quesidallias at #2 are so amazingly delicious. The bbq sauce mixed with the meat adds to the flavor in a way that brings this quesidallia out in a whole new way. Everyone here couldn't get enough. Quesidallias at a whole new level.

Barbecued Chicken Quesadillas

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter, softened
2 flour tortillas (8 inches)
3/4 cup shredded cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup chopped cooked chicken breast (I used canned chicken breasts from Sams, the chicken you would normally use for chicken sandwiches)
1/3 cup barbecue sauce

DIRECTIONS:
Spread butter over one side of each tortilla. Place tortilla, buttered side down, on griddle. Sprinkle one side of each tortilla with 3 tablespoons cheese. Combine chicken and barbecue sauce; spoon over cheese. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Fold over and cook over low heat for 1-2 minutes on each side or until cheese is melted. Cut into wedges. Yield: 2 servings.

I don't think winter could get much prettier, the view up the lift was beautiful. Enjoy the snowboard pictures.

Have a great week and I'll see you with the fantastic #1 appetizer!

Get A Kick Out Of These Wings.

Happy Saturday morning! Hope your Christmas went well and you ate lots of yummy food! Here, my Mom made a turkey dinner and then we all headed out to the movies. The theatre was packed, but we were able to see what we went there for. We saw Valkyrie that night and it wasn't like I thought, after seeing the trailer. I thought there was going to be lots of action, but there wasn't much. I personally thought it was a sad movie. I didn't expect the guys trying to kill Hitler were going to be shot. That was the worst part of the movie. What do you guys think of it? Any of you seen it yet?

Onto some happier stuff. These wings at #4 are hot and spicy but delicious! My Dad and brother were gobbling these right up and if you have a family member who likes spicy with-a-kick, they will love these.

Spicy Ranch Chicken Wings

Ingredients:
3 pounds cut chicken wings, mini (We get these at Walmart or Sams Club)
3/4 cup hot pepper sauce
1/4 cup butter, melted
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 envelope ranch salad dressing mix
1/2 teaspoon paprika

DIRECTIONS:
In a gallon-size resealable plastic bag, combine the hot pepper sauce, butter and vinegar. Add chicken wings; seal bag and toss to coat evenly. Refrigerate for 4-8 hours. Place chicken on racks in two greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pans. Sprinkle with dressing mix and paprika. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40-50 minutes or until juices run clear. Yield: about 4 dozen.
