Great New Lunch Option: Vegetable Quesadillas!

Do you need a great new lunch option? Oh, my goodness! The best vegetable quesadillas were created today! Do you remember last summer with the overflow of the cherry tomatoes that roasting and freezing became the thing? Holy, cow! Looking over the contents in my fridge and freezer, THESE are what were added to my plate.

They may take me a bit away from my “trying” to get back to intentional weight loss a tad…but, they were too good not to share with you.

Simple.

Easy.

No fuss (unless you want to roast your cherry tomatoes like I shared last summer here).

HINT: those roasted cherry tomatoes are what truly make this recipe great. If you don’t have them in your freezer…pick up some cherry tomatoes and roast them. Add them to your fridge and/or freezer to have the next time you need these vegetable quesadillas.

Promise! You won’t regret it!

Perfect lunch that’s quick and delicious!
