Apple-icious: Try this apple, cheese quesadilla
Categories: Healthy Kids, Diet & Weight Loss, Nutrition & Supplements
I'm not sure if I want to make this recipe more for my kids or for me. Containing just 115 calories per serving, along with 5 g protein, 3.5 g fat, 143 mg calcium, 14 mcg folate, 1.5 g fiber, and 18 g carbohydrates, this light little treat is quite temping. But it caught my eye because of my kids -- with whom I was sitting in the pediatrician's office while reading Toddler Magazine -- so I'm going to test it out on them one of these days. And yes, I'll be sampling it too.
