That means combining busy afternoons with homework, after school activities and sports with trying to fit in time for cooking so the kids can eat before we head out to whatever activities we have going on.

I love quesadillas, well just about all Mexican food. One thimg I will not ever put in a recipe though is Fennel or Cilantro. Cilantro is the most vile tasting leaf I have ever tasted. And anything that tastes like licorice is the second!
