Butters and I visited our hometown yesterday. It is not too far away – only 20-30 minutes by freeway. It’s about 60-70 mins via LA traffic.
About 30 seconds before our destination, we passed Susie Cakes. We had to stop, park, pay the meter, and get two cupcakes. Plus, we got a whoopie pie.
It was a complete surprise to me that the whoopie pie disappeared so quickly…around 1–2 a.m.
The slang was not very cute.
We have created these quesadillas with a veggie filling. We need to eliminate those whoopie pies that we eat at night.
But don’t worry. Once you try these, you’ll soon forget all about those vanilla buttercream sandwich cookies.
You won’t forget, but these quesadillas loaded with cheese and fresh veggies sauteed in butter will help.
This recipe is easy to make (even faster if you use store-bought Pesto! You can bake them right in the microwave.
