My philosophy is simple: I believe what we consume is everything—from the foods we put in our body, to the ideas we feed for our minds, to the connections we have with others. Everything gives you energy, and what you take in determines how your life will be. My goal is to champion a healthy lifestyle that is simple, accessible, and gives your body what it needs to fuel your best life possible.

Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla with Carrot Celery Blue Cheese Slaw
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 Whole wheat tortillas
- 1 ⅓ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- ¼ cup buffalo sauce
- 1 bag coleslaw mix
- ½ cup sliced celery
- ½ cup carrot matchsticks
- ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles
- ½ cup yogurt ranch dressing
Directions:
In a small bowl, toss together the shredded rotisserie chicken and buffalo sauce. Set aside.
Lay out a tortilla, sprinkle ⅓ cup of shredded cheese on half of it. Top the cheese with ½ cup buffalo chicken mix. Fold the tortilla so it forms a semicircle. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Heat a large dry skillet over medium heat. Place two quesadillas in at a time and toast for 2-3 minutes per side or until cheese is melted and chicken is heated through. Be sure to keep an eye on the heat and lower if needed.
While quesadillas cook, toss together coleslaw mix, celery, carrots, blue cheese crumbles and yogurt ranch.
Cut each quesadilla into fourths and serve alongside the slaw.
Other Ways To Prepare This Meal:
Plant-based: Use slightly smashed chickpeas instead of chicken. Use vegan cheese shreds instead of cheddar. Use vegan ranch instead of yogurt ranch.
Gluten-free: Use gluten-free tortillas.
Kid-friendly: If they aren’t a fan of buffalo try subbing out barbecue sauce instead (or go sauce-less) and serving with their favorite fruit.
