Featured Response 💬 

“I lived with my mom for the majority of my pregnancy while me and my then boyfriend (now husband, also the father ♥️) waited for our place to be ready. She even ended up being in the room with me and my husband the entire time I was in labor up until I had to be rushed to in for an emergency c-section (over 20 hours later). It wasn’t the plan for her to be so involved but it was such a blessing and exactly what we didn’t know we needed. My mom is a powerhouse of a woman and I don’t know what I would do without her.”

I love that she was there for you in such a big way—what a blessing to have that kind of support during such a crazy time! - Danielle 😊

Quick 'n' Yummy Avocado Quesadillas 🥑🌮

healthylittlefoodies

Today, we have an absolute winner recipe from the "I want this for lunch" championship in our home – the Avocado Quesadillas!

These crispy delights will steal your little ones' hearts in no time.

Ingredients 📝

  • 2 large flour tortilla wraps

  • 1 avocado, all mashed up

  • 50g (about ½ cup) grated cheddar cheese (or any melty cheese of your liking)

Instructions 👩‍🍳

  1. Sprinkle half of that delicious cheese on one tortilla wrap.

  2. Spread the mashed avocado goodness all the way to the edges.

  3. Now, bring on the rest of the cheese, and then cap it off with the second tortilla.

  4. Over medium heat, warm up a large, non-stick frying pan. (Make sure it's large enough for your tortilla!)

  5. Gently lay the quesadilla in the pan and let it get all golden brown for about 2-3 minutes.

  6. With your trusty spatula, flip it carefully and give it another 2-3 minutes to perfect that golden glow on the other side.

  7. Slice and serve right away!

Note 📌

  • Feel free to replace cheddar with any other melty cheese – Tasty, Monterey Jack, Colby, go wild!

  • I used a non-stick pan and no oil was needed. But if your pan tends to be a bit sticky, a light oil spray might help.

  • Remember, you can also make this with just one tortilla (see detailed method in the original article below).

I guarantee your kiddos will love this creamy and crispy combo.

And hey, feel free to sneak in some extra veggies or protein if you want to mix it up. 🥑🌮
