Smoothie (DomesticGeek.com)
Berries and Beets
½ cup milk
½ cup yogurt
1 small beet, peeled and cooked
½ cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
½ cup blueberries

Chicken Quesadilla

1 lb Chicken breast
1-2 Onions
1 Green pepper
8 oz shredded Cheddar
Tortillas

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Season chicken with chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder, and cook it in a fry pan with some olive oil. After chicken is cooked shred or slice it. In that same fry pan cook the onions and green peppers till they are soft. Lay your tortillas out on a baking sheet and begin layering with meat, cheese, and veggies, lay another tortilla on top and place in the oven. Bake till the tortillas are turning golden/brown, remove from oven cut into four, and serve with sour cream and salsa.

Dip the chicken first into the milk then into the bread crumb mixture and into a glass dish. After all the chicken is coated, in a fry pan melt butter and brown garlic, mix in lemon juice. Pour over chicken and into the oven for about 15-20 min.

Potato Soup
First start out with my recipe for mashed potatoes .

Mashed Potatoes
Frozen thawed Broccoli water strained
Onion
Cheddar Cheese
Chicken Broth or Stock
Bacon (optional)
Salt

Directions
In a fry pan cook bacon first if plan to use if not skip this step and place onions and broccoli in the pan with a little olive oil. Cook till broccoli and onions become mush (if your impatient like me I sometimes just blend it in my mixer).

In a big pot put mashed potatoes, broccoli, and onions stir in some stock and let it simmer. I add the stock slowly because I don't want to thin the soup out to much it's supposed to be thick and creamy.

Once the potatoes are hot add in the cheese I like a lot of cheese so add to your own desire and salt as needed. After you ladle out a bowl crumble some bacon on top for added texture and flavor.
