Roasted Corn & Black Bean Quesadillas

Ahh friends with gardens, is all I can say. Due to this we ended up with some nice tomatoes and ears of corn. So the hubs made a huge batch of salsa and roasted the corn. And I made some bean quesadillas to go with. What a nice simple dinner and it was even oven-free!

2 ears of corn, de-husked
olive oil
Salt and pepper
Smoked Paprika

1-2 large tomatoes, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 jalapenos, de-seeded and chopped
Cilantro, fresh or dried *see note at bottom of page*
Salt and pepper
Lime juice

Tortillas
Olive oil
1 Can black beans, drained
1 Tbsp taco seasoning
Feta cheese
Colby-Jack cheese

Brush the corn with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika. Roast in a skillet until kernels start to brown about 12 minutes total. Cut corn kernels off cobs. Put corn in large bowl, chop the veggies and add to bowl, Mix in cilantro, salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste. Drain beans and put in large bowl, add seasoning and heat in microwave for 2 minutes. Mash beans and set aside. Brush tortillas with oil and put in skillet on med-high. Sprinkle half of tortilla with beans and add cheeses. Cook 2 minutes per side.

*I personally prefer fresh cilantro, but for some reason Walmart, yes, Walmart you heard me correctly was out of fresh cilantro!! And the dried kind they had was $5! So naturally I did what any sane person would do and that was to drive to Target and pay $2 plus save 5% with my Red Card. In your face Wally-world! If using dried just add it to taste, with fresh cilantro just pull leaves off and rough chop about 2-3 Tbsp.

Peach-BBQ Lil' Smokies 2-14 oz package of Lil' Smokies cocktail sausages 1-16 oz jar of Peach Preserves 1-16 oz bottle of BBQ sauce Put all ingredients into a crockpot, stir and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.  Serves 12-15, I would double for larger crowds.

Whip it Whip it good

Coconut whipped cream It's so good, it only requires 3 ingredients, it's vegan and has none of that artificial garbage. Yes, the can is upside down and yes it is necessary. It probably wasn't necessary to take a picture of it upside down, but it's funny so there! 1 can of full fat coconut milk, chill in fridge overnight 2 tsp sugar  1/2 tsp vanilla Put your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 5 minutes. Open coconut milk upside down, pour out the liquid and save for another use. Scoop out the cream and add to chilled bowl. Whip with electric mixers or a Kitchenaid mixer with paddle attachment. Add sugar and vanilla. Continue to whip until light and fluffy. Use this like cool whip, I even used it to make a layered oreo dessert it was delish!
