It's me, Gillean!
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.

Veggie Quesadillas
Ingredients:
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
- 2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
- 1 bell peppers, cut into strips
- ½ large yellow onion, cut into slices
- 2 cups broccoli florets, cut into bite size pieces
- 1 ⅓ cup black beans
Directions:
In a sauté pan, over medium-high heat, heat up a couple teaspoons of olive oil. Add in bell peppers, onion and broccoli. Cook until tender crisp with slight browning. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Lay out a tortilla, on one half layer ¼ of the shredded cheese, ¼ of the black beans and ¼ of the cooked veggies. Fold the other half of the tortilla over to make a semi-circle shaped quesadilla. Repeat with remaining tortillas. In a large, dry sauté pan, toast both sides over medium-low heat until brown and crispy.
Other Ways To Prepare This Meal:
Plant-based: Swap out shredded cheese for vegan refried beans, hummus or pumpkin puree.
Gluten-free: Use a gluten-free tortilla.
Kid-friendly: Select the vegetables they will enjoy or make a cheese quesadilla with veggies and dip on the side.
