Recipe Corner: Brie Cheese & Avocado Quesadillas
Did you know that an average restaurant quesadilla packs 1,000 calories!We gave this classic Mexican dish a skinny makeover. Spicy arugula and creamy avocado blends beautifully with the creamy aromatic cheese. For a crunchy & sweet element, substitute the avocado with a sliced Gala apple.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
3 (100-calorie) whole grain tortillas
3 ounces of Brie Cheese, rind removed and sliced
½ avocado, sliced
3 cups baby arugula
Nonfat plain greek yogurt (optional for dipping)
- Stir mustard and cider in a small bowl.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spread each tortilla with 1 ½ teaspoons of mustard mixture. Place tortilla in pan and arrange 1/3 of cheese slices over half of tortilla. When cheese melts, arrange 1/3 of avocado slices over cheese and top with 1 cup arugula.
- Fold tortilla in half and cook 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from pan.
- Repeat procedure twice with remaining 2 tortillas. Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges. Serve with Greek yogurt as dip.
Makes 6 servings, 3 quesadillas (serving size: 2 wedges): 132 calories

Post Holiday Gain? Here Are Ways to Recover...
How to get back to your healthy habits after the holidays. Painlessly.
Article By: Erinn Bucklan
"By adding just 500 calories per day, or three homemade sugar cookies and a glass of low-fat
milk, you could gain two pounds in two weeks over the holidays," says Jenna Bell-Wilson, PhD, RD, LD, a board certified specialist in sports dietetics.
Now the merriment has ended, here's how to get back on track to healthier habits in the New Year.
Up your fruit and vegetable intake
Ideally, you should consume at least five fruit and vegetable servings per day now. These vitamin-rich foods boost your fiber and antioxidant intake and help you feel full. A tip: Replace that midafternoon 16-oz. cola (200 calories) with an orange (65 calories) as a nutritious snack.
Pre-arrange exercise time
You'll stick to a regimen if you schedule exercise ahead, says Brad Cardinal, Ph.D., associate professor of sport and exercise psychology at Oregon State University. Try to get in 30 minutes almost every day. Wear a low-cost pedometer (it counts footsteps) or sign up for a charity walk/run to stick to a plan.
Resist depriving yourself
Focus on what you're going to eat rather than what you're not. "It sounds indulgent," says Colleen Thompson, R.D., a nutritionist at the University of Connecticut. "But concentrate on ways to feed
yourself now. It helps you to stick to healthy eating habits." For example, don't skip a nutritious, fiber-rich breakfast, like oatmeal or a half of a whole-wheat bagel with peanut butter. It can help prevent overeating later.
