Delicious and Easy Spinach Quesadillas

Okay, I am not one who generally (with few exceptions), truly enjoys diet food. My mom taught me how to make this dish and I have been in love since my first one a couple of years ago!

The great thing about this recipe is that you don't HAVE to make it low-calorie. Another great thing is that, if you do use the lower calorie version, it's still palatable. I'll write my personal recipe here, but feel free to substitute the low fat items for the ones you'd prefer.

Ingredients:
-two low carb or low cal tortillas (found in refrigerated section of grocery store in packs of 8-10)
-bag of fresh spinach (2 cups)
-low moisture, part-skim, shredded mozzarella cheese (1/4 cup)
-salsa (4 tbsp)
-fat free sour cream (4 tbsp)
-spray butter (fat and calorie free; I suggest I Can't Believe It's Not Butter)

Directions:
-warm saucepan on stovetop to mid heat
-add one tortilla after spraying the bottom of the pan with the butter
-quickly add 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella
-quickly add 2 cups of fresh spinach
-add second tortilla and spray the top of it with butter
-flip within a couple of minutes so both sides cook thoroughly (beware of letting either side stay in the pan for too long so that you don't burn the tortilla...also, the quesadilla is generally ready when the spinach has shrunk down to a thinner size)

-top with 4tbsp of fat free sour cream, spread over top
-top with 4tbsp of salsa, spread over top, mixing in with sour cream

ENJOY!

Neely's Low Fat Easy Meatloaf

I'm new to this site. I will be posting recipes I enjoy here - unless they're family secrets. ;-) If I put "Neely's" in front of the title, I came up with the recipe myself or significantly altered it in some way. Hope you enjoy my site!

1 lb. ground beef
1/4 cup diced onion
1 slice white bread
1 egg
ketchup
Splenda

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Soak slice of bread in beaten egg. In large mixing bowl, use hands to mix together beef and onion. Add bread and remaining egg. Continue to mix with hand, allowing bread to fall apart. Line bread/loaf pan with heavy duty aluminum foil. Pour meat mixture into pan and form into a loaf. Mix about 1 cup ketchup with as much Splenda as preferred, usually 1/4 cup or so. Top meatloaf with ketchup mixture. Bake at 325 for 60 minutes, or one hour. Let cool for ten minutes before slicing. Very non-greasy, low-cal, and delicious. The Splenda in the ketchup tempers the slight spice of the onion.
