Have you ever had a portobello burger before? Probably.
But have you ever had a cayenne portobello burger with herbed goat cheese?
Ohhh my goodness. There’s really nothing like it.
I have a lot of firsthand experience with portobello burgers and sandwiches that are pretty “meh.” Ordering one at a restaurant really seems to be a toss-up: it’s either mind-blowingly delicious or flavorless and underwhelming. Well, I have the antidote to flavorless and underwhelming: cayenne + goat cheese.

This post is mostly to let you know how lazy I’ve been lately.
Although I’ve somehow managed to continue making food for the blog, the same has not been true for, say, Tuesday night dinners. Too tired, too busy, too nice out, not enough food in the house – I have all the excuses. There has been a lot of pasta and salad around here.
Luckily, we like pasta and salad. But every once in a while, I need to change up my go-to lazy dinner recipe. Enter tortilla pizzas!

I don’t mean to alarm you, but that’s not chocolate I poured on my ice cream.
It’s vinegar.
A balsamic vinegar reduction, to be exact.
And you know what? It tastes way better than chocolate with this sundae.
And that’s me saying that. This girl.

I am loving the quesadilla thing recently.
Hot, crispy, cheesy, and bursting with flavor.
And how could you not love an easy meal that takes 10 minutes to get to your plate?
That’s right, you couldn’t.
Sometimes I want a quesadilla loaded down with nothing but cheese. But often, especially this time of year, I’d rather prepare something with light, fresh flavors instead of such heavy ones.
So I was very pleased when the lovely folks at The Laughing Cow offered to send me a few of their cheeses to try out. Yum! Just the thing I had in mind. One wedge was perfect for holding a quesadilla together, making it creamy and delicious, but still qualifying it as a light dinner.

Oh hello. I am currently in the air on my way from North Carolina to Salt Lake. I was supposed to make the trip last night, but there were flight delays. I got dropped off at the airport in North Carolina yesterday and then had to have my sister come back to the airport and get me… and then drive me back again at 4 AM. BOOOO! That was not the plan. Grumpy traveler over here!
Anyway, let’s talk basil pesto! Fresh basil is tied with strawberries for my favorite summertime produce. I wait all year for it, and when June rolls around and I finally get my hands on some, I make as much pesto as possible.
If I’m lucky, I can buy a 4-oz container of basil at my grocery store for $4.99. I do a happy dance every time I see that big container of basil! Just on the inside, though. I already look like enough of a crazy person in the store – I consistently grocery shop either 1) right after working out, 2) when ravenously hungry, or 3) both – so I don’t need to be seen doing a disco in the produce section.
