Hi. I adore quesadillas, these are a terrific variation. My kids are all grown now, but your brownie recipe would be so much fun to share with a family. Who knew you could stick beans in there. Well done! The beans add protein and reduce fat, win win.
Thank you for sharing your recipes at the #HomeMattersParty we are glad you could stop by. Leanna
