Partial Menu for the week

Does your house suddenly become uninhabitable when you learn the previous renter committed suicide? Just food for thought.

I have been incredibly sick this week so all regular routine items have been disregarded. Today is Friday. I know. I am behind. I usually write my menu Tuesday, then shop, then blog. To top it off, Edward is sick and getting his sixth tooth. Yeah!

Friday

Spray one side of tortilla place down on skillet. Top with cheese, chicken, green onions, and salsa. Place other tortilla on top. Spray with cooking spray. Cook both sides. Cut into 8 triangles. If you don't want the meat use beans instead.
