Fast & Easy Dinner: Tortilla Pie
While I've cooked my fair share of quesadillas, I've never experimented with tortilla pie, which is essentially, a stack of quesadillas. I've always wanted to though — there's something so interesting about a tower of tortillas with lots of layers and oozing filling. Doesn't a slice look intensely satisfying?

Hey football fans, get excited: this week I'm putting together a tailgate! Cal's my alma mater, and while Stanford is their biggest rival, on Saturday they face USC. It's the homecoming game, and a bunch of friends and I will be in attendance, so a pregame fiesta is in order.

Fast & Easy Dinner: Grilled Chicken and Spinach Quesadillas
If you've never made quesadillas on the grill, I highly recommend you do so this evening. When charred over an open fire, the tortillas get a nice smoky flavor and delightful crispy texture.
Take some help from the store by using a rotisserie chicken and pre-washed spinach.
Say Cheese! Monterey Jack Quesadillas
Named for the coastal California city, Monterey Jack cheese was first created by Franciscan friars in Monterey, CA, in the 1800s. Like cheddar, the cow's milk cheese is incredibly versatile. The most common kind is unaged, although aged or dry jacks are becoming more popular.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Barbecue Portobello Quesadillas
With their meaty texture and wide availability, mushrooms are often a go-to ingredient in vegetarian cooking. However, as with chicken, it can be easy to get stuck in a rut cooking the same boring mushroom dishes.
Not true with this recipe: it takes chunks of portobello mushrooms and sautes them with onions until soft and tender.
Come Party With Me: March Madness — Menu
When I was a cheerleader in college, I preferred to dance at the fast-paced basketball games over the long, hot football games. There's something so exciting about basketball that makes it a fabulous sport to follow. Thanks to the office pool, this year, I've gotten very into March Madness, the whirlwind tournament that selects the nation's best college basketball team.
10 Unexpected Thanksgiving Leftovers
Thanksgiving leftovers can sometimes be too much of a good thing. Tons of turkey meat and side dishes can be great, but not if they mean eating uninspired leftovers with monotonous flavors. Thankfully, there's loads you can do with leftovers beyond pot pie, sandwiches, and chili.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Potato, Greens, and Goat Cheese Quesadillas
Like the grilled cheese, a quesadilla is the ultimate quick-cooking meal. Toss in leftovers and whatever cheese you have on hand and the results are miraculously and consistently scrumptious. In this vegetarian version, the Tex-Mex staple goes gourmet.
Easy Weeknight Meal: Ham and Cheese Quesadillas
You'd be hard pressed to find a simpler dinner than these quesadillas served alongside melon. The quesadillas, with their flour tortillas encasing oozy, gooey melted mozzarella, are inspired by Mexican and Italian cuisines. Next time, for even more of an Italian twist, I'll swap the ham for prosciutto to balance out the mozzarella, which is mild and doesn't contain much salt.
