How is it June already? Are you enjoying the same nice weather that we’ve been having these last couple of days?I am so happy I ended up extending my vacation by a couple of days in hopes of getting caught up on things. I’ve been busy cleaning the house, putting away laundry [it never ends, I tell ya], and running errands.I got home yesterday at 2pm after running around all morning and had a empty belly and a mean sugar craving.
I drank a bunch of water, heated up the indoor grill, and made this quesadilla in less time than it takes me to empty the dishwasher.Ugh, I hate emptying the dishwasher?! But I <3 this quesadilla.We can’t have it all I suppose.

What’s better than grilling up a meal in less than 10 minutes? Enjoying it outside! After I was done my quesadilla, I cuddled up to a good book on our patio and soaked in the sunshine [while wearing sunscreen of course!]What’s your go-to quick dinner? If you could give up one chore, for the rest of your life, what would it be?
