Cheese Quesadillas

My kids were loving taking toasted cheese sandwiches in their lunchboxes to school, but I found they were eating too much store bought bread when I was making them.  These are a really great lighter version and ready in literally seconds.  They are a weekly regular in our house now.

I have been testing out these knives from Mck’S Knives and let me just say…they are amazing!  You haven’t tried a great knife until you have tried a great knife.
