I'm sure you've tried spiral-ized veggie noodles by now. It's such a craze! Honestly, I'm never going to be able to give up on my love for a cheesy, baked pasta dish! But I also know that its not the best for me. So even though, I don't consider these zucchini noodles to be a direct replacement for that pasta dish, I do think this dish is just delicious and amazing in its own category! It definitely makes for the perfect quick weekday side dish! First off, I bought these noodles ...

Summer Vegetables Quesadilla
Summertime is abundant with fresh produce. All of the markets are brimming with corn, tomatoes, squash, peppers, and cucumbers, just to name a few local items around here. So naturally I tend to get a little crazy at the farmers market and come home with grocery bags full of summer veggies, but then what to do with it? Grilled veggies, salads, sauteed for a side dish.
