RickR Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 Lunches at home. It can get really boring. And also, who has time for anything fancy? So I thought I'd share some really simple recipes as I find them that are a cut above the old standard PB&J or a hot dog. Share any you have too! First up is a recipe for quesadilla. I don't know about you, but I've been doing it wrong. The addition of butter (I use margarine) and a cast iron skillet gives it that smoky crunch that takes it up a notch.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 Matlock loved hot dogs...I love hot dogs. Especially with chili, cheese, and tater tots on top. socrates63, RickR and Justin 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted August 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 I can't do that any more. My mind says yes but my digestive tract says HEYYYYL NAW! Justin and socrates63 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socrates63 Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 Speaking of cast iron skillet and butter (or substitute with some other oil), that's the best way to "revive" cold pizza. The bottom of the pizza becomes a little crunchy as if it was fresh out of the oven. Sprinkle in a little water and cover the pan to bring heat and melt the cheese. Medium heat probably works best. Yesterday night, we went out for dinner at a local pizza restaurant. The kitchen got our order wrong -- tomato was supposed to go under the cheese and baked, and instead, we got fresh tomato slices on top of the baked pizza. Well, the server said we could have it for free while they remade another pizza as we ordered it. So we walked about with a whole pizza, and that's what I had for lunch and dinner today.

This is exactly the type of thing I was hoping for. I'll try this next time we have leftover pizza. I usually put it on a pizza pan, stick it in the oven at 200 for 20 minutes, and it comes out pretty good! Justin and socrates63 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you have shared sounds good. Maybe we should start a "favorite antacids" topic 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
