Brie and Peach Quesadilla

Tonight, I made some quick and tasty Brie and Peach Quesadillas. Instead of eating 2/3 of one, as cooking light recommends as an appetizer, we had 1 each (so, close to 236 calories). This is a great, quick summer meal. Very light and tasty. I used light Brie in this, and used only the recommended amount. Tomorrow, I think I'm going to use a little more Brie -- the Brie in today's meal got overwhelmed by the peaches. By the way, the sauce that goes with this is a "must". The lime-honey (or in our case, lime-agave nectar) sauce adds a little life to the otherwise pretty solid quesadillas.

"Brie" Stuffed French Toast

Aromas in Williamsburg, VA, has a heart-stoppingly delicious breakfast: Brie stuffed french toast. Everything about it is delicious. The cheese: melted and gooey. The overall taste: sweet yet savory. The boy was even kind enough to run out of the hotel and bring some back for me when I developed a hankering the next day.

When we started eating healthfully, I knew I would have to make a slimmed down version of this dish. We started with brie, but when we found out that no grocery store near us carried light brie, we switched to Camembert. I think this actually was a great idea, because the Camembert has more flavor in and of itself. As such, it stands up better in a slimmed-down version of stuffed french toast.
