Quesadillas for Breakfast.

Sometimes you just need to scour your own pantry or fridge to find something to break you out of mealtime boredom. I did just that this morning when I realized I had corn tortillas in the fridge, along with eggs and cheese! A few quick steps (while keeping healthful eating in mind) and ta-da! You have a yummy breakfast quesadilla!

Kicked Up Breakfast Quesadilla
Serves 1

• 2 El Milagro Corn Tortillas
• 1 egg
• 1/4 Cup Reduced Fat Mexican Blend Shredded Cheese (I use Weight Watchers, but as long as it's reduced fat it'll work!)
• 2 tsp Jalepeno Cream Cheese (Bruegger's makes this, but you can make your own by chopping some jalepeno and adding it to your regular cream cheese)
• 1 tsp hot sauce
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Scramble egg in a pan sprayed with non stick spray. Spread cream cheese on both tortillas and split cheese between each tortilla. Once egg is ready, place on top of tortilla and place the other tortilla over it to create a 'sandwich'. To melt the cheese and crisp up the tortillas, place in a nonstick pan, or better yet, use a George Foreman grill to avoid having to flip the quesadilla. Let cook for 5 minutes or until lightly browned on both sides. Cut into four triangular pieces and enjoy! 

For you Weight Watchers folks, this clocks in at a mere PointsPlus® Value of 7!

Yes (You Can!) to White after Labor Day.

I can’t tell you how many times the women in my family retired their summer whites in favor of more autumn appropriate hues after Labor Day. And while I agree that fall styles and colors do alter your wardrobe a bit (bring on the boots and little leather jackets, baby!), fashion trends of late have taught me that some rules are made to be broken!

That rule is the old adage - “You can’t wear white (on the bottom) after Labor Day.” If you’re like me – you grew up with the saying ingrained in your brain – like there would be major consequences to your actions should you dare wear white on your lower half.

Well, I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t hold true in 2012. In fact, I encourage you to try incorporating it into your look all year long – just pay attention to the shade – something a little more creamy will get you through fall carry you through winter too!

Not sure what to look for? Below are some suggestions (from some pretty fashion-forward items to something as simple as a pair of tights) to get you started!
