I swear I am alive!

Sorry I've been MIA the past 10 days! I have been studying like a fiend this week for my 163 question-4 hour midterm that I had this morning. Luckily it is OVER and I can enjoy life again, until Thanksgiving, that is....

I have a new recipe for you that I tried tonight! I found it in the Weight Watcher Weekly that I get at my meetings, but I tweaked it so that its only 3 points a serving instead of 5 :) I feel a lot better eating 2 serving sizes if its 6-8 points total instead of 10!!

Black Bean and Spinach Quesadillas by WW, modified by Chelsea:

Ingredients:

• 16 oz can of refried black beans
• 1/2 cup of refrigerated fat-free salsa (I like Pace Medium Salsa)
• Cooking spray
• 6 oz package of Baby Spinach, coursely chopped
• 4 whole wheat tortillas, medium sized
• 3/4 cup of Mexican Cheese, 2%

Instructions:

• Combine the can of refried beans and salsa in a bowl, mix and set aside
• Head a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and then coat pan with cooking spray
• Add spinach to skillet and allow to saute until spinich is wilted (get strong like Popeye!!) Remove skillet from heat.
• On a plate, add 1/4 cup of the salsa/bean mixture to HALF of the tortilla. Evenly cover with cheese and spinach and then fold in half.
• Once you've made all 4 tortillas, wipe the spinach residue from the skillet and spray with cooking spray.
• Add 2 of the tortillas together to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes of each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
• Cut into wedges and enjoy!

YUMMY! Please let me know if you try it and how you like it!
