Easy Dessert Idea: Fresh Peach Quesadillas
September 01, 2009
We love quesadillas at my house, but when I suggested dessert quesadillas, my kids were a little skeptical. Yesterday, my son, Alec, came home from cross country after running 3.6 miles. He tried these and and loved them. I wrote about it on facebook and had so much interest from moms and college students. I am very excited about being in Nashville this week on Newschannel 5 “Talk of the Town” preparing college recipes so tune in at 11:30 central or check the internet for the show.
