Tuesday cakes and quesadillas

I am trying to cut down on eating sugar, so of-course just about everyone brought cake to work today. The cakes were good-bye cakes. Was a bit of a challenge to not eat too much of it, since I am normally the most excited in the office when this happens. And it's difficult to refuse a goodbye cake...

But anyway, I didn't make the cakes and don't want to get in to the good bye discussions. This is a recipe blog, so here's what cooked for dinner today.:)

Quesedillas with pan fried vegetables ( + salad and 3 dips)

1. Some vegetables - I used some green and red paprika,carrots, red onions, sweet corn, 1 clove garlic ( minced) and potato. I do not like broccoli or mushrooms, but they 'could' have been added as well
2. Whole wheat tortillas
3. Sliced cheddar cheese
4. Spices: whole cumin seeds, coriander powder, red chilli flakes, some salt

To cook:
1. Fry the vegetables in a little oil. ( Garlic and cumin first, then the rest). Fry until crisp, don't cook for too long.
2. Add a sliced cheese, and the some of the vegetable mix to the tortilla and fold in half
3. Heat on both sides for 30 seconds, until crisp

I had company for dinner today, so this also called for some salad and dips. Salad was pretty dull,. but the dips turned out quite well. It was also fun just sharing a meal :)

For dips:

Simple guacamole
1. Avacado
2. some lemon juice
3. a little garlic ( shredded)
4. finly chopped white onion
5. some salt

Mash together, and there you have it!

Picante ( not complete... didn't have cilantro, and didn't peel the tomato either but tasted just fine)
1. fine chopped tomoato
2. some lemon juice
3. some green chilli chopped
4. some finley chopped white onion
5. some salt

Mash together, and serve

I wish I had actually made more of these really. I went running after the meal, and am hungry again.. so looking for something else in the fridge now..
