Cheddar Tomatoes

What you need:
Shredded cheddar cheese
3 or so red or yellow tomatoes (sliced)
Italian bread crumbs
Butter
What you do:
Preheat oven to 350
Melt half a stick of butter
Mix butter with bread crumbs and a little bit of the cheese (the amount of cheese to bread crumb ratio is really up to you. When in doubt start small and add more)
Lay the slices of tomatoes flat on a foil lined cookie sheet
Sprinkle mixture on top of the tomatoes
Add more cheese for extra awesomeness
Bake until cheese is melted
Tips and tricks:
This could be changed to a caprese type thing if you used shredded mozzarella and if you add some basil to the bread crumbs.
You can also use other kinds of bread crumbs or just finely crush some sort of cracker that you like (wheat thins, maybe)
If you try this or any other recipe with some variation, leave a comment and tell me what you changed. I'm sorry I dont have a picture for you, I've been waiting forus to make this but tomato season has passed so I decided to post now.

Microwave quesadilla

My boyfriend gave me this recipe. Its a great snack, or quick lunch. There is a secret here that makes sure the cheese stays gooey and delicious.

What you need:
Tortillas
Shredded cheese
Other toppings (note: if you wish to add meat to your quesadilla, you have to use precooked meat, you can use raw veggies but they may not be completely cooked)
Optional: salsa and sour cream garnish

What you do:
Get a plate and put one tortilla on the plate
Sprinkle cheese and add toppings
Top it with another tortilla
Get a paper towel, wet it and wring it out or squeeze it so it is only damp (be careful not to rip the paper towel)
Place the paper towel on top of the quesadilla and microwave in 30 second intervals until the cheese is melted
Serve with salsa and sour cream

Tips and tricks:
To make the paper towel part easier, fold the paper towel first, then wet it. Once wet, squeeze excess water out and unfold.
This goes great with my 6 second guac recipe.
Mix it up (I swear this goes with most of my recipes) try differrent cheeses or fillings
You can make more than one quesadilla if you put one on the plate then make another wrapped in the damp paper towel and place it on top of the first one (basically covering both quesadillas)
