Low-fat Quesadillas

(...sing it with me...) It's the most wonderful time of the year.....

No, I'm not talking about the holidays! It's when the sports fan is on Cloud Nine -- nearly every sport that is a sport is being played right now! College football, the NFL,   baseball (the World Series just ended), college basketball, the NBA... the list goes on...

And with all those sports, goes food. You know you want to have some snacky goodness while you're watching your team on TV.  DH and I wanted this too -- we wanted the yummy factor, but didn't want to undo all our good work.

Here's one of our favorite finds -- Low-fat Quesadillas! We L.O.V.E. these.

This recipe comes to you from Hungry Girl. Peeps -- this is the best site out there for finding the yummy factor and still eating healthy. You must check her out.  I promise you that you can search on her site for your tummy's desire, and she'll have a healthy alternative to it. These quesadillas would normally be 12 points per serving, and HG tweaks the recipe a little, and [poof!] her version is a 3 pointer!

Bring it.

Ok, I will. Here ya go.
