Because DH can't eat cheese & DS wasn't going to be home I made some grilled sandwiches & broccoli salad for a light dinner. While DH & DD ate boring tuna, I dined on these delicious quesadillas! :) I had everything on hand, with just a small deviation. I used green olives stuffed with jalapeno peppers instead of green olives & chili peppers & I cut the recipe down to make just two quesadillas (but only made one & stuffed it), then used the panini press to cook it instead of the oven. I loved the blend of flavors. The cilantro (coriander leaves) & olives were very refreshing & balanced the cheeses quite nicely. Thanks for sharing, Iceland! :) Made for Ramadan tag game.

Originaly from Austria i moved to Iceland in 2002 after a life long longing for this country i felt at home at once and now it is the place where i belong. I am living with my wonderful husband in a nice, bright flat in the subburb of our capital, Reykjavik. I love to cook and eat healthy and i mainly use whole grain. I do not use any ready made mixes and i try to keep the food i cook close to the ingrediants i used.
I am an elementary school teacher but i work in a kindergarden now and i actually prefer that field.
Besides cooking and though especially baking, i like photography, knitting, swimming, long walks, all kind of sports, animals and nature among much more.
