My "back porch" is my kitchen, my favorite room in the house. Come on in, the coffee is fresh, and I just made a pitcher of sweet tea. The cookies will be out in a minute. I have over 40 years of recipes to share with you, along with my opinion on everything. Oh my, you are right, it is cocktail time. What can I get you? Of course I can make you a Mint Julep! Stop by anytime, something is always cooking, and the back door is never locked.

Bon Appetit, Y'all

Grilled Quesadillas

Yes, it really is September already! Time to get ready for tailgate parties and camping in the fall. My brother, Larry, is camping this weekend I hope he is reading the blog. You can only eat so many hamburgers and hot dogs. Not that I don't love them, but this is a great change with a big bowl of chili or alone.

There is no law that says you can't throw anything else on that sounds good. I have this thing about pine nuts.

Grilled Quesadillas
Serves 8 - don't count on it
print recipe

8 flour tortillas
6 ounces Cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
4 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
4 fresh jalapeno peppers, thinly sliced
4 scallions, trimmed and sliced

On one half of the flour tortilla, arrange a few slices of the cheese, tomato and jalapeno. Top with some scallion and cilantro. Fold the tortillas in half. Preheat rill to medium-high. Place on the grill and grill 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Brush with the butter as it grills. Cut into wedges.

  1. Ymmm. I make quesadillas a lot. Always have tortillas around. We use pepper jack cheese, chicken, pickled jalapenos and salsa with some sour cream on top.

  3. Nearly everything is better with fresh cilantro leaves, but I never would have thought of pine nuts. I love reading your ideas.
