Bell Pepper Quesadilla and Salsa Cruda

1.2K
It was very long, busy and stressful week. With never ending chores and things that had to be done. And I am not even half way through…
Unfortunately for us week didn’t start on a very cheerful note. We had to rush our little one to ER with a dislocated elbow : (  It’s so heartbreaking to watch when your child is in pain, but thanks to the Tallaght Hospital staff who were very good and caring, within minutes she was her bubbling self. Thank God she is ok.
Thankfully the week wasn’t all that bad. This week my friend’s K. son A. turned 1! We had brilliant time celebrating his first birthday. With a lot of fun activities, delicious cake and good company. Bliss!
I hope next week will be less stressful and I have more time just to enjoy sunny weather what we are having now.
But for now, please enjoy this very easy and very delicious vegetarian quesadilla with simple salsa cruda!
