Chicken, Bacon, and Avocado Quesadilla

Mexican has to be one of my favorite types of food.  It’s so simple, quick, and easy to make yet its deliciousness is worth hundreds of hours of cooking.  So imagine how eager I was to combine that with my absolute favorite food of all, bacon.  My hopes were high for an amazing new twist on my usual veggie quesadillas and these were phenomenal!  The taste of bacon burst through in every bite and the avocado chunks were the perfect fresh and light ingredient to balance out the flavor.  Paired with a margarita, this is the perfect summer meal.

Apple Pie Muffins

Ever since my boyfriend received a KitchenAid Stand Mixer as a Chanukah gift, I’ve been on a baking spree that’s bound to make my waist size expand.  Thankfully though, it has brought back my long lost love for baking and trying new recipes.  This past weekend I made these apple pie muffins and they did not disappoint.  I used Pacific Rose apples, but the reviews suggest a variety of apples from Granny Smith to MacIntosh so just about any type of apple should work.   And the crumb topping was the perfect final touch to compliment the sweet apple flavor and the moist texture of these muffins.
