About Me

My photo
My name is Jo and I am a single parent. I have two young boys aged 4 and 3. I'm starting this blog in order to keep myself sane and to share my experiences as a single parent. My oldest son is called Charles but is very rarely called that, he is usually referred to as Charlie or Bobbins. He is very long sighted and needs to wear glasses all the time - when he has not broken them of course. My other son is called Leo, but is known as The Bean. He has a mild case of Spina Bifida and also has hydrocephalus, not that you would know that to look at him. My intention is to take a picture every day for a year and to write a little about it. The say that a picture is worth a thousand words and each picture will hopefully represent that day.

Quesadillas

This is a traditional Mexican snack that can easily be adapted for weightwatcher. My husband makes tuna quesadillas as a quick lunch or snack


Tuna Quesadilla
3.5 pts each

2 flour tortillas (1 pt each)
1 small can tuna in spring water
1/2 pt grated low fat cheese
1 tsp tomato puree
1/2 tsp dried mixed herbs
Dried chilli flakes to taste

Spread one of the tortillas with tomato puree and sprinkle with herbs and chilli. Flake the tuna onto this and top with cheese. Sandwich together with the other tortilla.

Heat a frying pan without oil and place the quasadilla in. Toast on one side and then turn over, the cheese should be just melting and the tortillas a golden brown colour. Cut into quarters and serve.
