I usually rinse the pasta to cool it off, but it’s usually eaten right away (which is the whole point in having a super quick meal.) When I’ve made it ahead, in case of My husband and I going to be out, I stick it in the fridge.

For quesadillas? My family loves them with cheese only, but when we fix them that way we spread butter on the outside of the tortillas and brown them in a pan with NO oil. But I don’t think they would stay crispy during the transport. Leticia, I have a super easy chicken enchilada recipe that is TO DIE FOR, you don’t even have to cook the chicken you can buy it in a can. The drawback is that it uses a whole lot of cream, which is kinda expensive. But it’s worth it! It’s basically a dump and bake recipe.

I’ll post it here sometime, if you’re interested. Soon!

I may be using this recipe for church. Two weeks from now we are doing something called “International Day” and a lot of us are going to do international recipes. Since I am Hispanic I am expected to make something authentic! Yikes! I CAN’T COOK! I did not inherit the cooking gene.

But this recipe seems simple enough, even for me. I wonder if I need to have the meat though?

Leticia’s last blog post..I just can’t shake this….

Cena, easy is GOOD! This sounds yummy to me, too, I have always enjoyed anything tuna. Do you rinse the pasta in cold water then, or is this a slightly warm salad? We have so many cucumbers right now, so this would be a great thing to try…if I had any tuna in the house! (Jotting it down on my brain list…)

Thanks for sharing this!

This is practically embarrassing it’s so easy and it doesn’t sound that good, but it is. When I get bored cooking and ask my family their favorites to get me going again they always request this. They almost always make this when hubby and I go out to dinner and they are home without me cooking.

Cook up a pound of pasta, drain, and add
a couple cans of tuna
a couple big spoons of mayonnaise
-Mix and serve. I kid you not, in ten minutes they are happily eating. Often sliced cucumbers go along as a “salad.” Sometimes we add salt and pepper and sometimes we don’t.

My husband and I cater wedding receptions, and I love to cook, but when I want easy, fast, and tasty, it’s always pasta.

WE love quesadillas at our house. I love to make the filling with corn. You defrost a cup of frozen corn. Then toss it into a hot skillet with a T of oil. You let the corn get brown and toasty it makes a wonderful addition to the chicken. Our favorite kind of cheese to use is the quesadilla cheese from Aldi’s it melts to a wonderful stringy consistency. Next time we will have to try the chicken fried I usually just brown it in the skillet.
