In the summer my biggest goal in the kitchen is to keep things simple.

One of my favorite summer meal creations is quesadillas.

It is one of the easiest ways to create a meal that is packed with protein, full of flavor and loaded with Summer Goodness.

Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Chicken is perfect for those busy nights all Moms have. It is so simple to make and an excellent way to offer your family a healthy protein filled meal without spending hours in the kitchen. This is a good thing because now that Skye has stopped napping, I simply don’t have hours to spend in the kitchen.

I don’t know about you, but I find that my kids need a little encouragement to eat their veggies. Wish-Bone® Italian Dressing is the perfect solution. It is packed full of herbs, seasonings, and flavors for an extra zesty boost of flavor. The kids love the flavor, and I love that it doesn’t have high fructose corn syrup.

Since all three of my kids love tortillas, wrapping protein in veggies in one is the perfect way to round out a balanced meal. We adore TortillaLand® Flour Tortillas, which are naturally delicious with just five simple ingredients and no preservatives. You can find them in the refrigerated section.
