Before I get to the food for yesterday's dinner, I have a prayer request. One of my pole vaulter girls took a nasty spill during a gym workout yesterday and has sprained her ankle pretty badly. We ended up going to the hospital here in Leuven, just to confirm what I thought and so her insurance would cover her rehab back home. I just finished rehab with her today and she went from being unable to walk this morning to walking, though limping, unassisted down the hall. Praise God for healing! So, here is our meal from last night: turkey black bean quesadillas!
This recipe is brought to y'all by my Aunt Ryn, or Kathy Gillen, as she is knows to the rest of the world. She is passionate about helping people, especially families, learn how to eat well without breaking the bank or sacrificing good-tasteing food. Her business, Wellness Roadtrip, teaches people how to turn from over-processed and store bought food to healthy, home-cooked meals. She also knows more about supplements than anyone I know, and coming from someone immersed in the medical field, that's saying something. I think she proves that my love of cooking good food is genetic. Like me, she also just uses recipes as guidelines, not the hard-and-fast truth.
Alright, now that the updates and shameless plug are out of the way, let's get to the food!
