Quesadilla Overload

Quesadillas may just be the simplest, the cheapest and the most diversified food there is for vegetarians.  The combinations are endless, the ingredients inexpensive and bountiful and for some reason are a lot of fun to create (except when flipping them doesn’t go over well-that part sucks).  Rachael’s bridal shower was last weekend and the theme was of course […]

Vegetarian Recap: 7 Months Later…
