Why is this post titled "Three Cheers For Thursday"?
Three reasons, of course:
1. The words, "Three" and "Thursday" sound good together :)
2. I have Three TV shows that I watch on Thursday nights (Grey's, Private Practice and CSI... FYI)
3. Most importantly, I have three things to share with you tonight!
ONE.
I had leftover tortillas from making Buffalo Chicken Wraps last night, so I made quesadillas for dinner tonight. Here's my favorite way to make chicken quesadillas:
Ingredients:
3 cups chopped, cooked chicken (canned chicken is even faster!)
1 (8 oz.) pkg. shredded cheese
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 chopped red bell pepper
1 chopped and seeded jalapeno
1 T. ground cumin
1 t. salt
1/2 t. black pepper
tortillas
Directions:
Mix all ingredients together. Spread filling on a tortilla and place a second tortilla on top. Cook in a skillet (spray with cooking spray first) until both sides are browned and filling is heated through.

We bought new knives today!!! I am SO excited!! When we got married, I saved up gift cards to Bed, Bath and Beyond and bought a really expensive knife set with them... TOTAL mistake. Our knives are terrible. TERRIBLE. I usually cut things with steak knives because they work better than those expensive knives that I saved up for. Needless to say, I have been dreaming of new knives almost since the first time I used the ones that we have now. Today, we bought five new CUTCO knives. They are SUPER high quality and they come with a lifetime guarantee so hopefully we won't EVER have to replace them! Don't get me wrong, these knives aren't cheap either and we definitely had to save up for them too... but they are actually worth it!! I am so excited... did I mention that before? I hate always feeling like I'm going to lose a finger in the kitchen because of my flimsy, dull knives. I can't wait for these to come in...
Cutco only sells through private appointment sales representatives. So, if you are in the market for new knives, I would love to give you the name and phone number of the sweet girl that sold ours to us! Just email me and I will give you her info!
Left to right (obviously) we bought the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 7th knives. Hopefully someday we'll be able to add to our set... they have SO many to choose from!!

I still need recipe/prayer requests for tomorrow's Pray For Us Friday post... Don't you want it to be you? If so, email me at racheleabell@gmail.com. And because this post is sponsored by the number 3, here are three reasons that you should participate in Pray For Us Friday:
1. Because when you stop participating, the post stops existing... and that's no fun!
2. Because if you have a blog, I will put a link to it and you may get 1 or 2 new readers! :)
3. But seriously, every person, family and community needs prayer. Let us know how we can pray for you!
