Leftovers Made Over ~ POM Infused Chipotle BBQ Chicken Quesadilla

by DanicasDaily on July 12, 2010

Can I just start off by saying I missed you all?!  I really thought I’d take a little mini break and not want to come back, but, you all made me realize how much I LOVE hearing from you each day….I missed rambling on about my day, taking pictures of my eats and hearing what is going on with you all.

It feels good to be “back in action” cooking in the kitchen and getting back to a somewhat normal routine.  Each day gets a little better and that is all that really matters….time heals everything, right :)

I picked up a couple of breakfast foods this week that I have been missing. 

Orowheat Double Fiber English Muffin with 1 Tbsp Whipped Butter (4 pts)

1 1/3 cup Melon-goodness (1 pt)

MMMM, simple, delicious and pretty much everything I’ve been craving.  It’s funny how lately all I want is simple breakfasts, but, I’ll take it ~ it’s less work ;)

The Husband asked me to bring him lunch today and I thought of just dropping his off/eating what I planned, but…..When I stopped at Subway, I HAD to order too :D ~ I am kinda addicted to these lately.  I totally blame it on the AVOCADO!

9 Grain Honey Oat (4 pts)

Turkey/Ham (1 pt)

AVOCADO (1 pt and totally worth it!)

All the veggies, salt, pepper & vinegar (0 pts)

I really wanted chips today so I picked up some 2 pt Baked Lays so I could stuff them IN my sandwich.  I think that might be the 2nd best addition to any sandwich :)   Yup, we totally ate on the ground sitting side by side on the steps ;) (LOVE)

I wasn’t hungry at all this afternoon, but, I wanted something sweet ~ Big Hunkiness!  I doubled my pleasure and had two :D (2 pts)  I used to LOVE these and still do!

When I got home I had a BIG BOX waiting for me from Chef’s Catalog!

I finally used my Gift Card I received last year along with the FoodBuzz $1 Shipping Code to get these AWESOME Stainless Steel Bowls for $0.95!!! I cannot wait to use them!

Dinner was super fast and simple.  I started off by making a big batch of Mexican Zucchini.

Then, I decided to use some Leftover POM Infused Chipotle Chicken plus POM Chipotle BBQ Sauce. (1 TJ’s Organic Tortilla, BBQ Sauce, 1/4 diced chicken)

Topped with 2/3 cup of Fresh Corn, Tomato, Avocado Salad

1/4 Low Fat Monterey Jack Cheese!

1 More TJ’s Toasty Organic Tortilla for good measure.  I LOVE these TWO POINT tortillas because they are half corn and half flour!

Cheesy!!!

Sweet, Smokey, Spicy, Crunchy ~  7 points & SO GOOD!!!

Off to finish watching The Bachelorette & True Beauty (yup, I am hooked on that too LOL)!  I LOVE Cape Cod Chris and his family!!!!

Night all!

So glad to have you back. You were definitely missed!! I have only see avocado in one Subway in my life and that was in California (obviously!) I wish they would get this ideal ingredient around here. It really does make the Veggie Sub! :)
Have a great Tuesday!

I’m glad to see you back in action!
And I must say, I’m a sucker for avocado, too. Although I’m guessing the avocado in California might be a little tastier than the avocado in Pennsylvania:-)

Again, ((hugs))

Glad to see you’re back in action and glad to hear that time is healing your wounds.

And holy cow that chicken looks great!

Hey, how is your garden doing? I don’t recall seeing many updates. Did I miss them? Mine isn’t spectacular, but not too bad, either. We’ve gotten about 9lbs of tomatoes (mostly cherry), a few cherry peppers, a couple of golf-ball-sized cukes, and about 1/2 lb of figs. I’ve also gotten a few bell peppers, and there are lots more on the plants. And my malabar spinach is trying to take over the world, or at least the garden where it’s planted. Maybe I should harvest some….

Hope your day is great!

Yumo! I have a quesidilla maker so I need to get cooking your recipe. Also, I too love Chris from Cape Cod. I hope Allie picks him. He’s such a sweetheart.

Hi Marie,

Thanks!!!

You know, I will definitely have to take pictures of our garden this weekend. I am jealous of everything you have off of yours so far too! Our garden is slowly but surely growing like crazy now….I think the funky weather made this season a tough year to grow.

Have a good weekend and thanks for asking!

Danica
