Meatballs...and Mondays Menu

Welcome to Mondays Menu! Once again I have tried something new on a Monday for a meal. This was not a dinner menu, however with everyone here for lunch we decided to try the Panini maker that I bought and made some chicken quesadilla', so good!
What an amazing day today was, we totally lounged by the pool..again. Got lots of sunshine, read some of my book, had mom and dad for dinner and then ended this beautiful day with one of the all time best summer movies "Meatballs".

Honestly, my family loves this movie. I am so fortunate that my kids love old 80's movies and they love the humour, simplicity and characters that come with those kinds of old movies. I introduced them to the older ones, like Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club, footloose when they were a bit younger and thankfully they really enjoy them. I mean, they of course love todays teen's movies but once in awhile its nice to sit back as a family and watch some old fashion humour with a cleaner, semi-respectable, less foul language story line. We also love to watch the old National Lampoon's movies, Chevy Chase is a favorite! God, I love summer time, just can't wait for the kids to be home, late night movies, morning swims and lunchtime quesadilla's.
What you need:
4 flour tortilla's
2 teaspoons of unsalted butter,melted
1 cup of shredded cooked chicken
1/2 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup of black olives

1/4 cup of sliced green onion
1/4 cup of salsa

Lightly brush one side of each tortilla with melted butter.

Place on work surface, buttered side down. Preheat Griddle on Low- Medium
Place chicken, olives, green onion and salsa in a medium bowl and stir to blend. Divide mixture equally amoung the 4 tortilla's, placing to one side of the tortilla.
Fold each tortilla in half.

Place 2 tortillas on the bottom griddle and close. Bake quesadilla's for 5 to 6 minutes-or untill chicken is heated and cheese is melted and tortilla's are lightly browned.
This lunch was so easy and is pretty healthy, served with a nice salad would be great!
Well my friends, here's to summer time fun!!
