My Hamilton Quesadilla maker was a gift over 10 years ago, and it still works great. I don't really know how to cook too many things, so this has been super helpful and fun to use. My friends and I love to have quesadilla parties where everyone bring...

I've had this pizza cutter for several years and actually like it more that the ones with the long handle. I think it's easier to handle and takes up less space in my utensil drawer, which is good because I have a small kitchen. It's also handy to cu...

Pizza Perfection Quesadilla Style!
Brilliant! I was looking up recipes to share and never even thought about making pizza quesadillas. These recipes call for multiple tortillas, but you can adapt that if you are cooking for one. The only suggestion I would make is to either, use a light coating of pizza sauce that you put in your maker, or, warm the pizza sauce, and use it as a dipper so your quesadilla doesn't get soggy. While these recipes just call for pizza and cheese, you can add the toppings you love--even pineapple (no judgement here!) LOL. I can't wait to try these myself.

Chicken quesadillas are my go to when I'm feeling lazy or want a twist on Taco Tuesday! I start with 8" burrito soft shells, a pre-cooked chicken, shredded taco cheese, black olives, and jalapenos, but you can you add any ingredients you prefer. I pu... the other burrito shell on top of it. Although you can clip it closed, it really doesn't need to be if your quesadillas has a lot of toppings on it. It will cook just as well. If you try to force it, you might rip the silicone piece in the front. Whe... I know you're going to love them. Play with different flavors. Have fun and then ENJOY!

Most people like salsa and/or sour cream with their quesadillas. I know I do. BUT--I found out that if you put these on when you're cooking them, you will end up with a soggy mess. Nobody wants that. My pro tip #2 is to dip any sauce you want to use ...

I never thought to combine apple crips with baked brie, but I'm here for it. I would suggest using Stacey's Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips or melba toast.

I LOVE Stacey's Pita Chips. They are my go to alternative to always using crackers or vegetables with dips. The cinnamon sugar pita chips are delicious on their own, but would be delicious with the Apple Crisp Baked Brie.

My first experience with baked brie was with pepper jelly and it was love at first bite! These are some suggestions for jams and jelly's you can use to elevate your brie. ***One suggestion***                                      I score the top of the brie before baking which helps the topping can infuse better into the cheese. The posssibilities are endless for this tasy treat. Your friends and family will be impressed by this simple and easy appetizer because who doesn't l...
