Lentils and Quesadillas


It's a rainy day today in San Diego, of the few ones we have had this year, and as usual it translated into lazy day. Yet, a day where warm foods were craved. So, I decided to feed my cravings with simple stuff, Lentils and Quesadillas. Can't get simpler than that, while still managing to experience nutritious feel good flavors. 

For the quesadillas I had something special in mind, California chilies! Paired with Monterrey Jack they form one of the most holy unions imaginable. And stuffed inside a corn tortilla? What else can you wish for on a rainy day? 


Well, a warm bowl of lentils of course!

 Since it is a lazy day there was nothing special about the lentils, just chopped some tomatoes, garlic, onion, and serrano chilies. And chopped some cilantro to be added at the very end. 


If I only had had tequila it would have been the most perfect meal for a weather like today. 

Very easy to make, very fulfilling and very delicious. And not expensive at all! Though, I know that we are often times are used to big meals with a lot of different elements, it doesn't have to be. Two quesadillas and a bowl of lentils is unbelievably satisfying. Followed with some fruit and you are set to continue on with your day.

I've been wondering what to do with this blog, what direction do I want it to take, and I have come to the conclusion that it is not a cooking blog, my cooking skills are not worth showing off so I won't tell you how to cook, it'd be like pretentious. So, it will just be an idea blog, because I've found that sometimes people struggle to figure out what to eat, so we make bad choices. That's not to say everything presented here will be healthy, it will just be a good doable alternative to what you can find on the street.

However, occasionally, I may make posts about delicious findings from the streets! However, until money stops being tight, mostly everything will be home made stuff that I think are worthy of sharing!
