Some of the letters towards the end of the alphabet are getting a bit tricky when coming up with food or fruit. Today the A to Z Food Challenge – Q is one of those days. But I got it! Would you believe I never had a Quesadilla until my granddaughter made me one in 2015?? After she finished laughing because I had never had a Quesadilla she showed me how to make them.

The A to Z Food Challenge – M is going to be delicious. Lia loves Mac and cheese and when we ask her what she wants to eat, she opens the pantry, grabs a packet and says, “Mac and cheese please!” I remember when I was young I loved the mac and cheese my grandmother made but she made homemade Mac and cheese.
