    It's sunny and cool at the same time right now and that kind of weather makes me very happy. I just love it when the sun is shining brightly outside and there is still a little coolness in the air. The kind of cool in which you can wear a long sleeve shirt, but still also get away with a pair of shorts. This kind of weather provides so many wardrobe choices that make just about anything acceptable. This weather calls for you to spend more time outside doing something. It also lets me know that we are fully into the fall season.

    We haven't had any rain in my area in quite some time and everything outside is dry and withering due to the thirst that only nature can satisfy. The dryness also adds to the dust and if you suffer from seasonal allergies like myself then you may find yourself taking a daily dose of whatever allergy meds that you have available.

    The days are becoming shorter which is a clear reminder that daylight savings time is coming to an end. This time of year calls for early nights indoors enjoying Netflix or so other really good television show and plenty comforting foods. I'm talking about easy comforting foods that take minimal time and ingredients but is still perfect for those weeknights indoors enjoying some really good television.

    My go-to recipe as of late has been quick and easy vegan quesadillas. This recipe is so easy to make that you can get in and out of the kitchen in a flash. If you are not a vegan, then feel free to add in 4 ounces of cooked chicken instead of the black beans to make it your own. If you decide to give this recipe a try, then please let me know in the comments below as I love seeing what you come up with.

      Quesadillas were one of my easy go to meals before going gluten free. Kroger has a frozen blend of black beans, corn, onions, and peppers that I would use. I don't know why I haven't tried making them with corn tortillas. The gluten free flour tortillas are usually pretty pricey and not as good. But I'm going to add quesadillas to my menu this week and try them with corn tortillas. πŸ™‚

        They should be just as tasty with corn tortillas. I will be sure to be on the lookout for that frozen veggie blend the next time I am in the grocery store...Thank you!
