Salami with Cracker

Merry Christmas! It's past midnight where I am, so technically it's Christmas :).

This blog post was unplanned, so I do not have a picture of the recipe. This is an appetizer that my friend reintroduced me to. It's seriously delicious and easy! Serve it during a New Year's party or tomorrow if it's not too late.

Please note that it's not a calorie friendly snack and that it's the holidays, so go ahead and reward yourself.

Salami with Cracker (Yes, I'm lame and didn't know what to title it.)

Ingredients

- Thinly sliced salami
- Cream Cheese with Chives (any kind of non-fruit cream cheese will work fine, but the one with chives taste best with the salami in my opinion)
- Ritz or Townhouse crackers (buttery crackers)

Directions

1.  Cut the salami into small slices that fit perfectly on the cracker. Oh by the way, Ritz have cute snowflake shaped crackers that you can use to make the appetizer more festive.
2. Spread cream cheese on crackers. Layer with salami. Feel free to add some form of vegetable if desired, such as cucumber slices.

Serve and enjoy!

Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla

I'm not a fan of spicy foods, but I love the flavor of buffalo. I decided to make a small quesadilla for dinner last night instead of a buffalo chicken sandwich. This was extremely easy to make and it turned out quite delicious. I also love ranch dressing; I'll eat with almost anything including fries (any potato product actually), chicken, sandwiches, and salads. I would also add it to whatever I can.


I wish I took a picture of the quesadilla's filling, but I wasn't thinking at the time. It would've been nice for you to see what it looked like inside. Oh well. The quesadilla only fit on half of the plate because it was that small. This would make the perfect snack =].

Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla
1 serving.

Ingredients

- 2 small flour tortillas
- Buffalo wing sauce (I used Frank's)
- Cooked sliced chicken breast (I cheated like in the previous post and used Perdue Carved Chicken Breast)
- Provolone cheese
- Ranch dressing

Directions

1. Place one tortilla in a small frying pan on low heat (you do not want to burn your quesadilla).
2. Take one slice of cheese and tear it into pieces. Organize the pieces in a way that it covers the tortilla, but leaves about a free edge around the tortilla of about a centimeter. The reason you want a small edge to be free is so the cheese doesn't melt into the frying pan making a sticky quesadilla.
3. Let the cheese melt a tiny bit. Add chicken breast flat on the tortilla (i.e. do not overlap chicken pieces because then the quesadilla would be lumpy).
4. Pour a bit or spread as much buffalo sauce as you please.
5. Optional: Add a little bit of ranch.
6. Place the other tortilla on top of the contents in the frying pan.
7. Flip the tortilla and let it cook for about 30 seconds.
8. Place on a plate and dip in ranch dressing.

Enjoy! This goes great with baked fries or salad.
