Ahh, summer. The season couldn’t come fast enough this year, at least in my book! Now that it’s finally here, we’ve been taking good advantage of two of the best things of the season: the garden, and the grill. There’s not much better than walking outside to grab a few handfuls of fresh basil or cilantro to add to your meal. (And even if you don’t have space for a garden, try planting a few herbs in pots in a sunny place – you won’t regret it!) The only problem is that once you start, you won’t be able to stop – I can’t stop myself from adding fresh herbs to everything lately! And we’re having the same problem with the grill – why use the oven or stovetop when you can cook outside? Quesadillas work well on the grill, and this smoked gouda quesadillas recipe is a great way to combine some fresh herbage along with grilled goodness. They’re a non-standard take on the traditional flavors; the Gouda adds an excellent smoky flavor to the sweetness of the barbecued onions. Of course you could make these quesadillas on the stovetop instead of a grill…and even skip the fresh herbs. But if you’re lucky enough to have both, why not take advantage of the season?
