Veggie Quesadilla and Kale Chips

This recipe makes two servings, so it's great for a date night, or can be broken up into two different meals for one healthy person on the go.
Kale chips recipe I used was found here: http://www.eat-yourself-skinny.com/2012/08/kale-chips.html  I've used other recipes and found that my chips burned, so I like that this one required a lower cooking temperature for a longer time.

2 whole wheat tortillas
2 cups shredded reduced-fat cheese
2 cups vegetables (sliced mushrooms, diced zucchini, diced bell peppers, etc.)
1 bunch kale (cut into 2-inch pieces)
2 Tablespoons olive oil
Seasoned salt

for kale chips:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Throw kale pieces in a bowl and toss with 1 Tablespoon olive oil.  Lay out on a baking sheet and sprinkle with seasoned salt.  Bake kale for about 20 minutes, or until crisp.
for quesadilla:
Heat 1 Tablespoon olive oil in saute pan, add vegetables and cook until soft. I used a quesadilla maker, but you could also cook your quesadilla using a frying pan or george forman grill. Place cooked vegetables and cheese in between tortillas and heat until the cheese is melted. Cut into wedges and enjoy.

Buffalo Ranch Chicken Wrap

I'm getting ready to finally start another round of Game On and have been brainstorming for new ways to follow the diet.  I've been really enjoying buffalo ranch chicken wraps lately, but I would hate to waste my 100 calories just on the sauce (I've been mixing Hidden Valley Ranch with Sweet Baby Ray's Buffalo Wing Sauce).  I decided to do a quick google search to see if anyone has used greek yogurt to make a buffalo ranch sauch and this is what I found:

Buffalo Ranch Dipping Sauce
2 cups plain greek yogurt
1 packet ranch seasoning
3/4 cup hot sauce (I used Frank’s Red Hot Wings sauce)
In a small mixing bowl, whisk ranch seasoning into greek yogurt. When mixture is smooth, fold in hot sauce. Transfer to a small serving bowl. Refrigerate leftovers.

This way the greek yogurt can count as part of my protein and the amount of ranch seasoning and hot sauce involved will only use up a few of my calories, not all of them.


1 whole wheat wrap or tortilla
1 fully cooked chicken breast, diced



1/4 cup reduced-fat shredded cheese
1 Tablespoon Buffalo Ranch dipping sauce made with greek yogurt
5 green olives
Optional: add sliced or diced bell peppers



Spread sauce on whole wheat wrap, add chicken, olives, cheese and (optional peppers).  Fold wrap in half and microwave until cheese is melted.
