Caramelized Mushroom Quesadilla
I’m not a huge fan of cooked mushrooms (texture), but this is one of my favorites from CU.

Lamb Burger with Tzatziki
Microwaving burgers of any kind usually ruins them, but this is 3rd lamb burger & they were perfect. I would recommend heating 1 min, leave in microwave for 1-2 minutes (because it’s still cooking). Then cook another 15-30 seconds. PERFECTION
