Smoked Salmon Quesadillas

Good morning, everyone!

I am back today on this Friday to share with you one of the recipes I made for my daugther's birthday. I made 3 main dishes and we had lots of sides to go with it, but this recipe was by far one of my favorites.

It is called smoke salmon quesadillas and is pretty simple to make.

Here is what you need:

4 ounces of lite cheddar cheese

3 ounces of cream cheese

1/4 cup of sour cream

green onions, chopped

1-2 teaspoons dill, minced

4  8-inch flour tortillas

4-5 smoked salmons, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon olive oil

Okay! Are you ready for the directions? Here we go!

Blend cheddar cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, onion, and dill in a small bowl. Spread your cheese mixture evenly over two tortillas. Divide cooked salmon over the cheese mixture and place remaining tortillas on top of salmon. Press down gently.

Then, you will want to heat up your skillet and brush olive oil onto your skillet. Once pan is heated, place 1 quesadilla to the pan and cook until brown spots appear on the bottom of your tortilla. This will take about 1-2 minutes. Flip quesadilla to brown the other side.

Once these are cooked, cut quesadillas into wedges and serve immediately!  :)

It is delicious!! Everyone loved it so I will be making it again for guests in the future.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoy your weekend!!

Part II of the Party

Good morning, friends!

I am here with another post about our daughter's birthday party.

We kept things pretty simple this year with decorations and such but still had a wonderful time celebrating our daughter's first birthday!!

Here are some more pictures for you to enjoy!

For dinner, I decided to go a little coastal with the food and made 3 main dishes with sides as well.

First up, I made a black bean salad with avacados.

Delicious!!

I also made some salmon quesadillas with a cream cheese filling.

Yummy!!

And lastly, I made a chicken and salsa dish with diced tomatoes and corn.

So goooood!!!

I plan on posting tomorrow for the salmon quesadilla recipe.

You have to try it out, especially if you love salmon and cream cheese.

These dishes were a hit at the party and I would definitely make them again!

Thanks for stopping by!



Birthday Party and Birthday Princess

Hi everyone!! Sorry I have been missing from the blog for a few days, but we have had family and friends in town and it has been pretty crazy (in a good way) busy for us, but I finally have some time to blog about the birthday party.

I didn't go overboard in setting up for our daughter's birthday party since she is turning 1, but I did do some things around the house so I will be taking today and tomorrow to show you some pictures of the set-up. :)

So this was the overall look of the dining room for the party (minus the pictures of all of the presents on the floor).  :)

I hung some puff balls from the ceiling (which were made out of coffee filters and Dollar Tree tissue paper), added some greenery to the table, and some fresh flowers.

To make the puff balls, I used tissue paper from the Dollar Tree and rolled them into a ball.

These were going to become the base of the ball for the coffee filters.

My hubby (yes, he totally helped me make these) and I made some flowers out of these coffee filters. We put two of them together and then hot glued them onto the tissue paper.

Then we hung them up with some string and some yarn (for extra sturdiness).

I still really love our painted tree mural and the idea of placing family pictures onto it. :)

It adds a little bit of a personal touch to our room!

And here is our little princess beauty with her first pair of pink sunglasses!! What a lady!

Stay tuned for more updates and pictures tomorrow!

So how do you decorate for your child's birthday?

Thanks for stopping by!
