Guacamole and Simple Quesadillas

Avocadoes are full of healthy fat that is so necessary for building a healthy baby and breastfeeding.  Toddlers generally love them too.

Guacamole
2-3 ripe avocadoes (cut them open and scrape the flesh out with a fork)
juice of one lemon
2 cloves of garlic (optional) - minced or pressed
1 teaspoon of cumin
Sea salt and pepper to taste

Mix ingredients in a bowl with a fork or potato masher.  You can use a blender too, but I prefer the chunky consistency from the fork. Serve on top of quesadillas or with veggies, tortilla chips or on sandwiches.

Quesadillas
4 tortillas
1 cup of cheese- mozzarella, feta, cheddar or a combination
1-2 cups of well chopped veggies - peppers, spinach and green onions are some favourites
1 cup of protein - precooked beans, chicken, shrimp or ground beef.
Hot sauce to taste

Fill tortillas with ingredients, fold over and bake in toaster oven or oven for 10 mins.  Smother with guacamole.
