Recipe Review
Today’s
Recipe and Location: Butternut
Squash and Kale Quesadillas
Found
in: The Pioneer Woman blog
Well, this one should be no
surprise to anyone that I have to pass on it. I love pumpkin, but am not a fan
of any type of squash. The other issue is kale (too green for me).
Did
you know that the original quesadillas were made with corn tortillas and not
wheat? In America, we adapted this old world Mexican food to fit our tastes
here in the states. We added a lot of cheeses and meats to satisfy our likes
and dislikes.
Every
site I visited said they didn’t know who invented this wonderful food. In my
mind, I want to believe it was a Mexican woman slaving over an outside
fireplace to create dinner for her family. This would have been before the
invention of electricity and ovens.
I
just know that I love quesadillas. They are wonderful hors de oeuvres as well
as a great dinner dish. I don’t have anyone to thank, but I will continue to
see that hard-working woman, who worked her hands raw making those tortilla
shells. Thanks for everything senorita.
